The Witches of Culross
.jpg)
The Witches of Culross was inspired by the true story of a mother and daughter who were accused of witchcraft in 17th-century Scotland.
The book is a weaving of historical fact and fiction that tells the story of a mother and daughter from a small Scottish town, with the curse of second sight running through their salty veins. It is an inky cauldron that is bubbling with witch persecution, strange superstitions, curious customs, and salacious notions of demonic pacts. A folk magic grimoire, of stones, bones, herbs, and healing threads with roots in the heart of a dark past.
Written by a storytelling-wise-woman, who gives voice to the accused witches through her visceral tales of the burning times. The book is in English, with some old Scots dialogue for authenticity, and includes a dictionary with English translations.
You can buy it on Amazon as a Kindle, paperback and hardback copy, or buy a signed copy from me and prepare to be transported back to the burning times.

Handmade Bookmarks
A book is a magical object and deserves to be adorned with an enchanted bookmark that can journey with you at each turn of the page to ensure you never lose your place amongst the pages of words, commas and full stops.
The handmade linen bookmark with printed historical text has been fringed with red Harris tweed wool. The linen bookmark is backed with hessian, the fabric that the accused witches were forced to wear during their incarceration. If you are anything like me, you will be reading more than one book, so buy both for a reduced cost and have a bookmark made with materials that are historically connected to the burning times. ​​
