Finally, I acknowledge the visual artists whose work inspired mine: in particular, Pieter Bruegel, whose painting Dulle Griet is the foundation for my story.

Praise for Kate Heartfield
“Heartfield captures an aesthetic edge that is sharp as death.”
“Searingly beautiful… told in awe-inducing language.”
“Blending character and action in a way that makes the reader’s pulse pound is tough in a short story, but Kate absolutely nails it; I was on the edge of my seat throughout the entire thing.”
“The mark of an extraordinary tale is one that makes all of life’s distractions disappear and loses the reader in the telling. This is one such story. This is why we read stories. This is why fiction exists, to enlighten the human condition, and to share it with others.”
“A poignant tale of loss and self-reflection.”
