Today I am starting the New year with Paulette Kennedy as we discuss her new book, "The Witch of Tin Mountain." This novel follows three generations of witches from the Ozarks, and the fundamentalist preachers bent on stripping them of their power and autonomy. We talk about the mystical gothic setting, how Paulette's personal family history is woven in the story, mass hysteria, political theater, and the glories and wisdom that come with entering the "crone" phase of life. You can pre-order your copy of "Witch of Tin Mountain" from my online bookshop at www.bookshop.org/shop/sheworeblack. Every purchase using my link helps both the podcast as well as independent bookstores nationwide. You can also help the show by following me on instagram, facebook and twitter, and leaving me a review wherever you get your podcasts. Thanks for joining me today!
