      <image:caption>Suffer a Witch “grabbed me and wouldn’t let go.” “Suffer a Witch is spellbinding and impossible to put down.” On the anniversary of the first hanging, June 10, 2014, Emogene “Em” Peres (the name Martha Corey uses now) learns that a young man and a team of ghost hunters have dedicated themselves to finding the crevice where the Salem Twenty’s bodies were stuffed after hanging. The problem is that Em and the rest of the Salem Twenty are making full use of those skeletons. What starts with a young man with big ideas brings the Salem Witches face to face with their demons. In Suffer a Witch, you will meet the Salem Witches as you’ve never seen them. Through their eyes, you get a sense of what happened all those years ago. Their stories will move you to tears and make you laugh out loud. Join them as they face a battle they have prepared for their entire lives.

      <image:title>About Claudia - When you look around the web, you’ll likely see this photo of Claudia. It was taken one Halloween after a Devotchka concert. It’s a pretty good photo (for a photo), but not great as a professional photo.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Why aren’t there better professional photos of Claudia? Claudia hates to have her picture taken. She’s taken a few more professional photos and head shots, but this photo is closer to what she actually looks like than anything a professional photographer takes, even all these years later. The other reason is that Claudia grew up in a time when you could read everything someone wrote and know nothing about them. She believes that the work should speak for itself. In her mind, authors are fairly boring people. Prolific authors are even more boring than other authors because they spend most of their lives fussing over one story or another. So enjoy the work. Expect that Claudia is typing away somewhere right now.</image:caption>
