Rabbit Hole Adventures: The Thread of Courtesy.
Deep in the rivers and forests of the 1800s American frontier, where oral traditions kept ancient knowledge alive and the land held stories older than memory, a young woman finds herself pulled into a mystery woven from courtesy, consequence, and the threads that bind the human world to something far older. The Thread of Courtesy is Sheena StandingBear’s illustrated historical fantasy novella — a story rooted in researched history, Indigenous folklore, and the quiet wildness of nature, told through adventure that moves between the world you can see and the one just beneath it.
This book is currently in development, with original numbered artwork being created alongside the narrative—each piece an essential part of the world-building rather than simple decoration.

Where history meets imagination.
The world of The Thread of Courtesy is rooted in real landscapes and painstakingly researched history — rivers that still run, forests that still whisper, and communities whose stories have been passed down through generations of oral tradition. Into that carefully drawn world, something older and stranger moves just beneath the surface, woven from folklore and the quiet wildness of nature.
Step into a story where a single act of courtesy can change everything, where the boundary between the everyday and the extraordinary is thinner than you expect, and where the land itself seems to hold its breath. This is historical fantasy for those who love to discover that the world they thought they knew has always held more wonder than it let on.
