Local Author & Salem Witch Descendent Releases Second Book in Trilogy on Infamous Trials

MANCHESTER, N.H. - June 6, 2013 - PRLog -- Manchester, NH—The latest novel from former Boston TV reporter and current NH radio host, Jack Heath, is about to hit the Barnes & Noble bookshelves. The Salem VI Trilogy and Book II: Chain of Souls dare to ask: What if we have the story of the Salem witch trials all wrong, and what if the injustice of those trials, dormant for hundreds of years, resurfaced today?

Part historical whodunit, part paranormal thriller, Salem VI Book II: Chain of Souls mixes historical facts with the gripping fictional narrative of John Andrews, a Salem newspaper editor whose life becomes inextricably and horrifically entwined with the Coven, an international organization on a dark mission with an even darker past.

As a journalist, a Marblehead native and a direct descendent of both Rebecca Nurse (the last person to be tried and hanged during the witch trials in 1692) and Ann. R. Putnam (one of her accusers), Heath is uniquely positioned to tell this tale and incorporates compelling semi-autobiographical elements into the lead character of Andrews.

The Salem VI trilogy taps into piece of local history that remains endlessly intriguing and relevant. Upon the release of the first book, Rebecca’s Rising, in 2012, the Huffington Post reported new questions about a 320 year old witch’s mystery. See www.huffingtonpost.com/pat-lamarche/salem-witch-trials-_b_1905804.html.

Rebecca’s Rising was an Amazon Kindle bestseller and has been lauded by critics and respected authors such as Lois Duncan (Gallows Hill; Don’t Look Behind You; I Know What You Did Last Summer) who called it, “a fascinating read ... a book I was unable to put down.” For Chain of Souls, Heath continued his co-author collaboration with John Thompson. Heath’s current radio show, NH Today, is broadcast on WGIR-AM and WQSO-FM.
