Dear Friends Who Read and Readers Who Are Friends,
Yes, it's the spooky season.
So, I'm thrilled to share with you the news that this week you can download the eBook of Hour of the Witch for less than a cup of coffee.
Welcome to Boston, 1662. Mary Deerfield is twenty-four-years-old. Her skin is porcelain, her eyes delft blue, and in England she might have had many suitors. But here in the New World, amid this community of saints, Mary is the second wife of Thomas Deerfield, a man as cruel as he is powerful.
When Thomas, prone to drunken rage, drives a three-tined fork into the back of Mary’s hand, she resolves that she must divorce him to save her life. But in a world where every neighbor is watching for signs of the devil, a woman like Mary–a woman who harbors secret desires and finds it difficult to tolerate the brazen hypocrisy of so many men in the colony–soon finds herself the object of suspicion and rumor.
Then when tainted objects are discovered buried in Mary’s garden, when a boy she has treated with herbs and simples dies, and when their servant girl runs screaming in fright from her home, Mary must fight to not only escape her marriage, but also the gallows.
Hour of the Witch is a timely and terrifying novel of socially sanctioned brutality and the original American witch hunt -- and, yes, a tale inspired by the first divorce in North America for domestic violence.

That price is good, but I have never made it to the "sale" date waiting for one of your books. You've had me waiting for them ever since "The Double Bind."
