  1. Puritan Witch; The Redemption of Rebecca Eames

    9781491705933_COVER.inddAbout Puritan Witch; The Redemption of Rebecca Eames:

    “On a cold night in 1692, two young girls are caught up in the divining games of a slave woman-and then begin to act very strangely when the game goes wrong. Suddenly, Salem Village is turned upside down as everyone fears that witches may be involved. Six months later, as news of the girls’ strange behavior becomes known, fear and suspicion overwhelm a nearby farming community, pitting neighbors against neighbors and turning friends into enemies. When Rebecca Eames makes one careless utterance during a verbal attack on her family, she is falsely accused of witchcraft. After her fate is decided by three magistrates, Rebecca must endure a prison sentence during which she and her fellow captives have no choice but to valiantly struggle to find humanity and camaraderie among dire conditions. In this novel based on a true story, a woman wrongly imprisoned during the seventeenth-century witchcraft trials comes full circle where she must determine if she can somehow resume her life, despite all she has endured.”

    So reads the back blurb of my debut novel. It’s based on the true ordeal my 9th-great grandmother, Rebecca Eames, went through during the 1692 Salem Witchcraft Hysteria.

    Author Bio:
    Originally from North Dakota, I have lived in Maryland since 1988. My love of writing was awakened from a 25-year dormancy after a third cousin of mine told me about a common ancestor of ours, Rebecca Eames, who was one of over 140 people accused and imprisoned during the 1692 Salem Witchcraft hysteria. Her son Daniel was also accused and imprisoned, and I am currently writing a sequel, telling his story. I enjoy spinning wool and crocheting items with my own handspun yarn. I love books, cats, strong coffee and great friends! I may be contacted at puritanwitch@gmail.com .

    A #1 Kindle Books Best Seller (Coming of Age)!

    A #1 Kindle Books Best Seller (Romance/Young Adult and College)!

    An Amazon UK Top 100 Best Seller (Romance)!

    High school drop-out, full time novelist, and now mother–and father–to her younger brother, Jenn Reynolds doesn’t have time for anything anymore but work, work, work. Not school. And definitely not a social life. Dating? Yeah, right. No matter how hard she tries to put her life back together, it keeps crumbling apart. The first blow–the sudden death of her parents–started the destruction. Now, her life is spinning out of control, and she has no one to turn to. She is about to lose the only thing that matters anymore–her brother.

    But there’s one option–one incredibly risky, terrifying solution. If Jenn can find someone she can trust, he just might be able to help her stem the devastation.

    Maybe.

    But who would it be? Aeron, the totally mysterious, totally dangerous stranger she has just met? Or Bobby, the devastatingly gorgeous guy who has already broken her heart once?

    Depending upon what their secrets are, they both might make things worse. Much, much worse.

    Genre: New Adult Romance with minor paranormal elements

    Author Bio:
    Tamryn Ward is the alter-ego of New York Times and USA Today Bestselling erotic romance author Tawny Taylor. Tamryn is an Amazon bestselling author of New Adult/Mature Young Adult fiction. She turned to writing after deciding being an engineer without an engineering degree wasn’t a great way to make a living. Writing, on the other hand, is her passion, especially writing romantic stories with an edge. She has an absolutely useless bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts, and when she isn’t writing, she spends her time hiking in the woods with her (not so cooperative) husband and kids, and snapping photographs of anything or anyone willing to sit still long enough for her to get a decent shot. She’s still a little slow with the photography thing. Thus, her favorite model is, of course, the slug–though you would be surprised by how fast those little buggers can move.
