I’m glad I saw this in my Twitter feed! As it so happens, one of the projects I’m working on is a historically-based novel about Salem, inspired by various members of my family who lived (well, most did) through it.
Oh that’s so interesting Katja! I love combining family history with historical fiction – do stay in touch!
