@ChrisBohjalian@RonCharles I'll be interviewing Chris Bohjalian for the Salem Athenaeum and just finished the novel. I think it's terrific, and I can be very picky about witch history. Can't wait to chat about it. Well done!
@animagus329 David, I’d love to hear more. Any time you want to talk about it, let me know. As you probably read, I have both accused and accisers hanging frim my family tree.
Wicked good time at the @SalemLitFest this past weekend. Loved discussing historical fiction w/ @BrunoniaBarry@juliettefay@drgillham@HealeyJane. And am still thinking about the energetic & inspiring talk by @HankPRyan: how the next best thing might be just around the corner🙌🏼
#OTD Sept. 19, 1692 Giles Cory was pressed to death. The Salem witch trials court makes an example of him for challenging its authority. After he pleaded not guilty, he refused to say if he accepted a trial by jury, bringing the proceedings to a halt.
@BrunoniaBarry just finished “The 5th Petal” after reading the first two books!!! That was amazing... I’ve always been fascinated by the Witch Trials and just learned that I have an ancestor accused of witch craft... this is so fascinating!! #readthisbook#doitnow
