Book Launch for The Strange Woman
“A beautiful 3D crow animation and a thousand flowers blooming herald the launch of The Strange Woman. Historical fiction, modern romance and magical realism. A Faustian pact, the Timble Witch trial of 1622, hedge-witchery and herbalism, sheep farming and feminism, and a less than pious poet – in a place where past and present meet. The women of a remote Yorkshire village call ‘Time’s Up’ for the returning demon, to try to save the seventeenth century seven. Time is up, but for whom? You are invited to join author Stephanie Shields and poet James Nash in discussion about this remarkable novel called The Strange Woman.”
Launch Video for The Strange Woman
“The magical 3D crow animation with a thousand flowers blooming – a trailer for the launch of The Strange Woman, a novel by Stephanie Shields, inspired by the Timble Witch trials of 1622.”
