When skeptic and author George Drake sets out to debunk the legend of the Witch’s Throne—a cursed tree said to kill anyone who sits upon it—he vanishes under mysterious circumstances. His widow, Thea, returns to their haunted Victorian home to pick up the pieces of her life… only to find that the curse may not have ended with him.
In a town where every believer has a secret and every skeptic has something to lose, The Witch’s Throne asks: how far will we go to prove what we believe?

For Writers
Writing a mystery, gothic, horror, supernatural, or speculative novel?
A compelling premise is not always a functioning story engine. If you are unsure whether your draft has a clear central question, enough pressure on the protagonist, escalating consequences, and a strong promise to the reader, start with a focused self-audit.
