THIMBLEFEN PRESS

GRABBING FREEDOM
A small-town bookkeeper keeps the books — and the receipts — on his wife's aggressively American family, the year the whole clan gets audited by something larger than the I.R.S. Watch for the goose. He is federally protected. You are not.
Small books with strange weather
Thimblefen Press is an independent house founded in 2026. We publish a little, and slowly. Our mark is a thimble set upright in a fen, sprouting cattails — a small household thing left out in the wet long enough to grow something. It suits the books: modest objects that turn out to have weather inside them.
