The Sisterhood – Curse of Abbot Hewitt: Who said all the members of a witches’ covenant were the best of friends?
Before being unjustly hanged, Abbot John Hewitt places a malediction on Margaret Dymock, the newly born baby of reputed warlock, Einyon Dymock.
Eighty-four years later, and with their contract with the ‘Master’ about to expire, three old witches battle for survival, and the only guarantee of success is the sacrificial deflowering of a virgin. Without conscience, the three hags set their sights on Lavinia Ashmore, a pretty maiden and the granddaughter of Margaret Dymock.
The village of Holton bears the brunt of the feuding forces, and then one of the witches renounces her former life. She goes into hiding, unaware that she has fallen under the protection of Abbot Hewitt, or more accurately, his ghost. But the prelate’s agenda is not strictly benevolent, for the man who hanged him, Einyon Dymock, is now a sex-crazed demonic entity.
Meanwhile, an obnoxious solicitor, Horace Twissleton, is determined to execute every witch in the area…even if he has to fabricate the evidence. His incompetence and zealousness spark a series of horrific and disastrous events, the ramifications of which are destined to endure for centuries.

About Me
For those of you who have not yet made my acquaintance, my name is Annette Siketa, and I am totally blind. Were you aware that most blind and visually impaired people are extraordinarily perceptive? To sighted people, this ability must seem like ESP, and I suppose to a certain extent, it is. (I'm referring to the literal meaning of Extra Sensory Perception, not the spooky interpretation.) To compensate for the lack of vision, the brain and the other four senses become sharper, so that we can discern a smell or the identity of an object. I promise you, there's no trickery involved. It's simply a matter of adapting the body to ‘think’ in another way.
Being blind is no barrier to creativity. Like most things in this world, life is what you make of it, and after losing my sight due to an eye operation that went terribly wrong, I became a writer, and have now produced a wide variety of books and short stories, primarily of the ghost/supernatural/things that go bump in the night genre.
So, how does a blind person write a book?
On the practical side, I use a text-to-speech program called ‘Jaws’, which enables me to use and navigate around a computer, including the Internet, with considerable ease. Information on Jaws can be found at www.freedomscientific.com
On the creative side…well, that’s a little more difficult to explain. Try this experiment. Put on your favourite movie and watch it blindfolded. As you already ‘know’ the movie – who does what where & when etc, your mind compensates for the lack of visualisation by filling in the ‘blanks’. Now try it with something you’ve never seen before, even the six o'clock news. Not so easy to fill in the blanks now is it?
By this point you’re probably going bonkers with frustration – hee hee, welcome to my world! Do not remove the blindfold. Instead, allow your imagination to compensate for the lack of visualization, and this will give you an idea of how I create my stories. Oh, if only Steven Spielberg could read my mind.
