INDIGO FIELD is an abandoned field in the South where all the secrets are hid, and only one woman knows what's buried there.
"Mesmerizing . . . redemptive" -- Sue Monk Kidd
Marjorie Hudson was born in a small town in Illinois, grew up in Washington, D.C., and now writes and lives in Chatham County, North Carolina. She is author of story collection ACCIDENTAL BIRDS OF THE CAROLINAS, a PEN/Hemingway Honorable Mention, and the first book of Ambler County stories, and SEARCHING FOR VIRGINIA DARE, a North Carolina Arts Council Notable Book, both from Press 53. Her forthcoming novel, INDIGO FIELD, calls up dire Southern history and spirits, after a Native American child burial is found in a cliff by the river. Forthcoming from Regal House Publishing in 2023.
Much of Hudson's work explores the links between history, the human spirit, and the natural world, and reviewers have compared her work to that of Thomas Hardy and Isabel Allende.
Andre Dubus III says, "This woman writes like a dream!"

“The farmhouse sat on a rise at the end of a long dirt road, in a clearing surrounded by fruit trees and ninety acres of pines. It was painted white, and peeling, and some former hippie tenant had painted a mandala on the wall just inside the door with fine-point Magic Marker. I painted over it, but it bled through, again and again. I finally left it there, a pale and pastel version of itself, hanging ghostlike in the hall.”
