The Smoking Gun.

Meet Mimi: a talking revolver with opinions of her own.

A grieving professor and a disastrous shot set off a surreal journey across the American West. The story asks what happens when violence becomes spectacle—and the gun gets to speak.


The independent spirit

A small press.
A wide-open mind.

Some books begin with a story. Others begin with a question that won’t go away.

Wedgwood Press publishes fiction, language, music, technology and the odd things people accept as normal.
