Beth’s first historical novel One of Windsor: The Untold Story of America’s First Witch Hanging (2015), tells the tale of Alice ‘Alse’ Young and the beginnings of New England’s colonial witch trials. The Salty Rose: Alchemists, Witches & A Tapper In New Amsterdam (2019) won the literary prize in Genre Fiction (2020) from IPNE (Independent Publishers of New England) and explores John Winthrop the Younger’s influence on stopping the witch trials in Connecticut, also giving an insider’s view of the takeover of the Dutch colony of New Netherland and the Hartford Witch Panic. Her latest novel, the final sequel to One of Windsor, titled Between Good & Evil: Curse of the Windsor Witch’s Daughter (2024) explores the trauma of Alice’s daughter, Alice Young Beamon, and Windsor’s second witch accusations against Lydia Gilbert.
Since 2015, Beth has been educating the public about the Connecticut witch trials through lectures, articles, and social media. Beth co-authored with historian, Dr. Katherine Hermes, the academic article “Between God and Satan: Thomas Thornton, Witch-Hunting, and Religious Mission in the English Atlantic World, 1647-1693.” which appeared in the Fall 2022 edition of Connecticut History Review (61:2).
In 2016, she co-founded CT WITCH Memorial with Tony Griego to raise awareness about the witch trials. She is also a co-founder of the Connecticut Witch Trial Exoneration Project that helped to pass Resolution HJ 34 in the Connecticut General Assembly in May 2023 to acknowledge Connecticut’s witch trial victims. Beth also serves on the board of End Witch Hunts, an advocacy group seeking recognition and justice for witch trial victims of past and present.
