It’s been a while since I posted a snippet, and I am in a mood today, so here is a dark snippet for my dark mood. Witchhunters can be so testy. . . . #yaauthor #yaauthorsofinstagram #urbanfantasy #urbanfantasybooks #urbanfantasyauthor #bookstagram #books #indiebookstores #indieauthor #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #witchesofinstagram #witchcraft #witch #witchythings #salemmassachusetts #salemwitchtrials (at Salem, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwpL_mPlhQS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kif7hbd2klgc

I have no idea how to take a selfie. I really just wanted to show off my beautiful haircut from @jessica.kachmar @thebeautyparlor_ny . How does this work? Where does my other hand go? I would also like to thank @instagram for creating filters that make me look my best self, always. #authorsofinstagram #yaauthors #writersofinsta #writersofinstagram #selfie #selfies https://www.instagram.com/p/BvXXR2ngM8E/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4yxzl98nci3z

Grace Hopkins isn’t your typical mean girl. Sure, she’s blonde, beautiful, and manipulative, but there is so much more to her. Like the fact that she hunts witches. 😈. . . . #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #writer #authorsofinstagram #author #yaauthors #yaauthorsofinstagram #urbanfantasy #urbanfantasynovels #witchesofinstagram #witches #witchy #witchythings #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #bookobsessed (at Salem, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu4GteWFVtk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=e1kjcqu86u1f

On this date nearly 330 years ago, three women were accused of witchcraft. This began what we know today as the Salem Witch Trials. Within the next year, twenty people would be executed on accusations of witchcraft. This tragedy has always intrigued me, partly because it feels very close to home having occurred only about three hours from where I live, but mostly because of the young women that took to accusing their fellow neighbors, friends and family members. Why did they do it? I researched countless articles providing political, social and economic reasons for the entire occurrence of the Witch Trials, but the thought still occurred to me: these were young girls. They knew the consequences of their actions resulted in death. Yet, that did not stop them. What was the reason? It was from this question that my debut novel was born. I wanted to provide an answer to my own question and in doing so, fell into a new world of magic, mayhem and murder. I cannot wait to share it with you all. . . . #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #urbanfantasy #urbanfantasybooks #urbanfantasyauthor #novel19s #debutauthors19 #debutauthor #somethingwicked #salemwitchtrials #witchesofinstagram #witchythings #witchcraft (at Salem, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/BueOJiZAHlp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19ngx6fw6i9nv
