The Porchlight: Episode 19 with Cory Putman Oakes

In this Writing Barn Words and Wine event, Program Manager Claire Campbell talks with author Cory Putman Oakes about her latest book, Witchtown (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Books For Young Readers) takes place in the wake of the Second Inquisition, in which modern day witches live in witch-only communities called Havens. Cory discusses her process of research for the book including watching Bewitched, studying herbs, and Wiccan theology. Kirkus Reviews said, "This uncomplicated, romantic story will charm reluctant readers who want a little magic." and Booklist said, "This genre-blender - think Ocean's 11 meets Charmed – is an enjoyable coming-of-age tale sure to be a hit with readers who like their romance or mystery with a hint of the paranormal."
