About this ebook

Based on the improbable true story of the last woman found guilty of being a witch. Helen knew all of the tricks: the trances, the seances, the ectoplasm made of cheese cloth. As performing mediums go, she wasn't half bad. When people want to believe, it doesn't take much, after all. But this time felt entirely different. It was the height of WWII in England and this time images of the ship going down - the massive, earth-rattling explosion, the faces of young, terrified sailors sinking to their death – this time, it was like she was actually being haunted. And when word got out, she didn't just attract crowds of the sailors' family members. She caught the attention of Winston Churchill himself. Helen was describing, in extraordinary detail, the highly classified sinking of the HMS Barham, a military secret guarded with extraordinary care. As the invasion of Normandy was secretly being planned, fear swept through the administration that Helen Duncan, the prickly Scottish mother of 6, might actually have the power to predict and to reveal details about the invasion. So, to silence her, she was hunted down, arrested, tried and jailed... for being a witch.

About the author

When Harper graduated from Brown University with a history degree, there was no inkling that a career as a writer would follow. After running a successful business for years, then launching the Social Impact Conference to support business owners, artists and activists dedicated to positive social change, Harper realized that story-telling was fundamental to changing the world and that history housed the greatest stories of them all.
Harper especially enjoys finding important but forgotten, or misunderstood, figures from history and bringing them back to life so that the reader can learn about them firsthand. Some recent favorite books include Strange Angel (George Pendle), Billion Dollar Whale (Bradley Hope, et. al), and Revolution (Russell Brand).
Why don't you join Harper on a "roller coaster ride through history" that you never knew existed?
