LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, September 29, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Author S.A. Sizemore’s award-winning debut novel, Whispers of the Pale Witch, the first book in the Beckett Coven series, will be released September 29, 2026, on all major U.S. bookselling platforms by Rowan Prose Publishing.
After learning her family played a major role during the Salem Witch Trials, S.A. Sizemore was inspired to write her new book series. Extensive genealogical and historical research led to a book akin to Dan Brown’s Robert Langdon thriller series, blurring the lines of fact and fiction, but with a healthy dose of Practical Magic family saga and a villain you won’t soon forget.
Book Blurb: Forensic photographer Kylie Beckett returns home to Salem, MA, hoping to find answers about her mother’s disappearance decades ago. A series of murders and the theft of a dangerous obsidian relic forces Kylie to uncover dark truths about her family’s history. Now she must stop the vengeful Pale Witch of Salem before she kills yet again, but this time it’s someone Kylie can’t afford to lose.
Shall we begin?
Short Excerpt: Just as she was in life, Deliverance was a demon in death. Her cruel whispers invaded quiet conversations. her hate-filled face raced past in the shadows. Destroying the body didn’t end her baneful abuses. Instead, she became limitless and everywhere, always.
