Last year, prior to the premiere of Garage Sale Mystery: The Novel Murders, I had the extraordinary experience of interviewing Ken Tremblett. Up to that point, I had only known Ken as Grant Markham from Unleashing Mr. Darcy and Patrick from When Calls the Heart.

From around the time of the mid-15th century to that of the 17th, the European continent was plagued by what is now known to be ‘The Great Witch Craze’. Many were put to trial under the belief that they had been practising Satanic rituals that did not align with conventional Christianity. Now, as historians look…

In the late sixteenth and early seventeenth century the fear of witchcraft shook european society. Throughout England and other low countries of Europe, either the central control and government were in pieces or fear of witchcraft among religions grew out of control. Through irresponsible and unregulated accusation and execution, due to political hysteria, the lack of authority, and pure fear of the devil, we can clearly see this concept take place in Arthur Miller’s 1953 play, The Crucible.…

Introduction Early Puritans established many small towns in the new frontier which came to be known as New England. In these new towns, small commonwealths, otherwise known as families, created the framework for everyday life. The basic structure of a Puritan family was patriarchal.
