    A PENDLE WITCH SHORT STORY

    Inspired by the treacherous true events surrounding the Pendle Witch Trials, Divided by Witchcraft is a gripping historical short story, written with honesty and "audacious humour". Perfect for fans of Katherine Clements, Stacey Halls and Rowan Coleman.

    "The queen of this era, bar none" – Timothy Smith, amazon reviewer

    Lancashire, 1612: Fourteen-year-old Grace Sowerbutts is at a dangerous crossroads, caught between the righteous might of the local Pendle Protestants, the fury of their Catholic neighbours, and the insidious threat of witchcraft.

    Inspired by the true story of the Samlesbury Witches

    Desperate to do the right thing, Grace's family is torn apart as the local Jesuit priest in hiding – Father Christopher Southworth of Samlesbury Hall – uses her to further his personal vendetta against his nephew's widow, Jane Southworth.

    Jane's crime?

    To reject his Catholic faith and join her parish church.

    Therefore, she must be a witch.

    Now all he has to do is prove it...

      Librarians of the 21st Century: Worst Story Time Ever? (Or Best?)

      Mar 14, 2017

      Librarians, at cocktail parties and at work, are often asked whether anyone uses libraries anymore. This oblivious question has led many in the profession to insist, in marketing campaigns and in interviews, that libraries are “more than just books.” Which is, of course, true, and has been for many decades. But it also has the effect of eliding the important work libraries do to connect citizens with books and narrative. In this essay, David Wright reminds us of the power of story in the public library. –Stephanie Anderson, series editor This is going to be bad. It is noon on the Monday befo
