The Salem Witch Trials have always fascinated me…during my career teaching American Literature, I knew somehow, someday, I’d write a book about them. The Young Adult genre was the perfect venue. The best thing…it’s a book grownups can read too. Here’s the blurb. I’ll post an excerpt a bit later.

God will give you blood to drink. . .An ordinary teenager finds out what witch-hunting is all about””in her own everyday world.

When Deliverance “Delli” Willis, an ordinary, almost-sixteen-year-old, finds herself dreaming wild dreams, she’s amazed when some of the stuff appears during her classroom unit on the Salem Witch Trials: When a dream girl of 1692, who shares Deliverance’s name, finds herself entranced by a mysterious man in the woods, Delli finds a new neighbor walking through her family avocado grove.

Eager to share the handsome newcomer with her circle of friends, she doesn’t realize the danger of someone unique entering the closed loop. Fingers point, jealousies surge, lies are cast, sides taken””and people are out for blood. It’s a modern-day witch-hunt that collides with 1692 in ways Delli never dreamed.
