Widow's Welcome

A realm of many gods, plagues, and superstitions...
A dead man with his mouth sewn shut...
A story with the power to destroy a democracy.

"'Melding noir with the fantasy genre, this is a rather clever read, one which feels especially prescient for our reality"
SciFiNow.

"An utterly absorbing tale set in a fascinating world. A terrific start to the series."
Mick Finlay

"It’s rare to find such a richly imagined world about the art of myth and storytelling."
Christopher Fowler

"D.K. Fields’ rich novel combines genre elements masterfully, weaving together gaslit crime, fantasy and mystery – and a generous dash of metafiction – with the results rather like a Philip Pullman rendition of Cloud Atlas."
Tim Major

"There are hidden depths to Widow's Welcome, and the rewards for spending time with this book are very great. I felt as if I was one of the Audience, and asked to cast my own vote on stories of tragedy, sacrifice and betrayal. If you love storytelling, you'll love this."
Simon Morden

"In Widow’s Welcome, D.K. Fields weaves a magnetic crime mystery inside an ingenious, constantly intriguing fantasy world. The novel’s structure (a story about storytelling, complete with nested stories) is beautifully constructed, but it’s the well-drawn characters and textured, elegant prose that make it such a rewarding read. Roll on book two."
M.T Hill

Farewell to the Liar Available in Hardback, eBook, and Audio!

We are super excited to announce the final novel in the Tales of Fenest trilogy, Farewell to the Liar , is available now in hardback, eBook, and audio! We're just over the moon with how the series has been received by readers and reviewers. The team at Ad Astra , our imprint at Head of Zeus , have been fantastic throughout the process, and we couldn't be prouder of everything they've helped us achieve with these books. It's been quite the journey, from the start of Cora's story and the opening two election tales in Widow's Welcome , to the revelations of Cora's family and the Perlish and Torn stories in The Stitcher and the Mute . Now, readers can cast their votes on the Rustan and much anticipated Wayward election stories - and finally see how Cora's own tale ends. Buy your copy today on Hive , Bookshop.org , Amazon , Foyles, or Waterstones

The Stitcher and the Mute launch!

Stop the pennysheet-press, The Stitcher and the Mute will be launching online on Thursday 12th November, curtesy of Griffin Books of Penarth. The event is free, but ticketed (to avoid all those nasty internet trolls). So sign-up here to avoid disappointment: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/griffinbooks/book-launch-the-stitcher-and-the-mute-by-d-k-fields/e-ybpdym We're delighted to be launching the second in the Tales of Fenest trilogy with Griffin - who you may remember did a wonderful job of launching Widow's Welcome back in August 2019. We hope you'll join us for an evening of fantasy, stories - Perlish and Torn - and lively electoral discussion (no, not that election...)

Widow's Welcome: Launch

It's finally here! Widow's Welcome is out in the world. The real world, with real readers. And we were lucky enough to see some of them at the launch for the book at Penarth Pier Pavilion, in our home town of Cardiff. We were just amazed by how many people came out to support us and the book. We had friends come from as far afield as York, Oxford, and Aberystwyth, as well as a good crowd of locals. It was great to see a big 'ole pile of hardbacks, courtesy of Pernarth's fantastic indie bookshop, Griffin Books - a massive thank you to Mel and her hard-working team. We also risked a bit of audience participation on the night (thanks to Lucy Corbett for the great pic of the voting table). As well as doing a bit of call-and-response, which led to 100+ people saying "The Audience is listening", we got everyone to exercise their democratic right to vote. We each read the start of the election stories that feature in Widow's Welcome
