As a supporter of my past work, I wanted you to know that my latest novel, Here There Be Witches, released last week! And I think this might be my best work yet!
And how beautiful is this cover!!
This one feels really special. I’m so proud of it and am so excited that it is out in the world now.
Each novel has been a true journey, taking me on a healing and transformative adventure. The writing process is always visceral, evocative, confronting, and soul wrenching. But it’s always cleansing as I work through the wounds that surfaced at this time to teach me the lessons that my characters are here to teach those who pick up my books. Each book I’ve written has changed me in profound ways, and I welcome that kind of healing work! It’s the kind that will change the course of my life going forward. I’m never the same person at the end of a book than I was when I started writing.
Where would I be if I had never picked up the pen back in 2019 and trusted the process of accessing the memories from the witch trials that beckoned to me to explore and share. While these novels are fictional, there’s always a thread from my past lives running through everything I create. Exploring those threads often rips me open and brings all these experiences from my past back to the surface, but I know the reward will be so worth it as these stories help the world to heal. This is the work we are called to do now to create a better world. Thank you to everyone who picks up my stories and takes up this healing work. We are truly healing the world one story at a time.
I hope you love Alexa, Iris and Hattie Wardwell as much as I do.
Many of us incarnated at this time to heal the trauma from the witch hunts/trials so we can heal as a collective. That’s why Alexa’s story felt so important to write at this time. Her story is one of struggle,
defiance, and radical resistance in the face of persecution and that age old desire of the patriarchy to erase a group of people based on their beliefs.
Writing this book was my own form of resistance. In a time when they want to silence us, I turned up the volume! Resist in whatever way you can!
Set against the backdrop of one of history’s darkest chapters, Here There Be Witches is a haunting reminder of the generational scars left by this unimaginable injustice and the enduring courage it took to
defend one’s beliefs and rights to practice their craft in the midst of a wave of hysteria that spread throughout the nation, tragically wiping out generations of wise women and healers.
Blurb below
In 1645, at a time when England was gripped by superstition and an intense fear of the supernatural, the infamous Witchfinder General, Matthew Hopkins, roamed the countryside on a mission to root out and cleanse the country of witches. Casting a shadow over the land, these hunts scarred generations of women for centuries, leaving many afraid to acknowledge or nurture their healing powers and intuitive gifts.
Caught amidst this frenzy, three sisters, Alexa, Iris, and Hattie Wardwell, fight to keep their coven intact to keep their knowledge of the old ways alive for future generations. Despite their vows to only wield
their powers for good, these sisters find themselves ensnared in the deadly web of accusations and persecution that grips their village.
As whispers of witchcraft spread like wildfire, a rival witch with a vendetta that spans lifetimes aids the Witchfinder General in hunting Alexa and her sisters down. As the flames of paranoia rage, these
sisters face heart-wrenching choices while weighing the value of their lives and those they’ve sworn to protect, knowing all can’t be saved.
The Witchfinder General has met his match in Alexa Wardwell, and he has no idea how to handle her when their paths finally cross. Alexa is by far the most formidable protagonist I’ve written yet! It was a joy to write
her into existence and to give the witchfinder a fight he won’t soon forget.
I wrote it as a standalone novel with a complete, self-contained story for those not interested in a series. It is a prequel of sorts to the Divining Sisters Series because it chronicles a past witch life of the characters in my series. If you are interested in reading all my books, I would suggest reading them in the order I wrote them starting with Book 1 in The Divining Sisters Series – The Call of the Cards. I say that because I think
it’s more fun and interesting to discover the past lives as the characters discover them on their awakening journey. But if you want to just dive into Here There Be Witches, by all means go where you feel led.
