Reedsy review by USA Today Bestselling author Katherine Graham –

Loved it!
In a sweeping fantasy world, with magic and wives’ tales entwined, Burman’s River Witch will challenge the way readers look at ‘normalcy’ and gossip, while encouraging the best of what makes us human. A truly magical read!

Thrilled with reviews such as this-

This is a captivating story which had me hooked all the way through. The detailed descriptive narrative brought the setting vividly to life, making me feel immersed in the storyline. The plot twists kept me gripped, and I found myself reading late into the night, as I could not put this book down. The characters are so well defined, I felt like I was there alongside them, and I was left thinking about Hester, long after I had closed the book.’

A collection of historical short stories and flash fiction written over the past few years.

The past comes knocking with accusations of witchcraft. A child miner learns there is value even in cruel, skin-shredding work. A young girl tumbles into a storm from a sinking ship, while hundreds drown in an historic flood.
And more tales, most of them award winners, all inspired by historical events.
