Do You Want to Know the Future?

What if you saw visions of upcoming disasters, but no one believed you when you tried to warn them?

Witch Trial Legacy: The Cassadaga Collection Book 1

Where paranormal romance collides with supernatural suspense

Release Date October 11, 2021

Sybilla Sanborn must break a centuries old curse before everything she cares about goes up in smoke.

Sybilla is a nurse gifted with the ability to heal with her touch but cursed with visions of future tragedies she cannot prevent because no one heeds her warnings. With help from the mediums of the spiritualist town of Cassadaga, Florida, she learns she is descended from both the first person executed for witchcraft in this country and the man who accused her.

Conn Ahern is an Iraq war vet dealing with pain and PTSD while working as a paramedic and struggling to save the ranch his grandmother founded. He’s an atheist who wants nothing to do with the people of the town.

When Conn and Sybilla meet, sparks fly, but not always in a good way, and their relationship fans the flames of jealousy and revenge in someone who doesn’t want them to work things out.

During a séance, her ancestor’s spirit reveals how Sybilla can rid herself of the curse and save Conn, but the price may be too high.

Perfect for fans of Tricia O'Malley and Christine Feehan.

A Note from Katherine Eddinger Smits

I am a direct descendant of Susannah Martin, who was found guilty of witchcraft and executed in Salem, Massachusetts on July 19, 1692.

Witch Trial Legacy was inspired by all who suffered and those who still do because of envy, fear, and hatred from others. 

My ancestor was one. 

Another was a character you will meet in this book as a spirit conjured by a medium. Her name was Alse (pronounced  Alice) Young. Alse was the first person executed for witchcraft in this country. She was hanged in Hartford, Connecticut in 1647, some 50 years before the Salem hysteria.

Little is known about her life. No one knows who accused her, or why, or what evidence was brought against her. She was probably married at the time of her trial. She had a daughter, also named Alse, who was also accused of witchcraft years later. Alse's daughter was not executed.

In my book, I take some liberties with Alse's story. I made her a widow and named her daughter Truth. The reason for making her a widow will be clear when you read the book. I changed her daughter's name because it would be confusing to have two characters, mother and daughter, with the same name, although that was a common practice at the time.
