@adberginwriter @HistoryRage Thank you so much! I've been diving into the horrific subject of prickers a bit more for my next book. I'm simply fascinated by the cruel, methodical way these trials were conducted - it's just wild! You book sounds amazing :)

@CL_Meadows I'm so glad you're enjoying so far, and hope the rest is good too. Rest assured I too felt my share of rage as I was working on that chapter. It's still hard to imagine women were actually sentenced to death for these so-called 'crimes'. Shameful.
