Among the key players in the upcoming Salvation series is the powerful witch, Hagatha Belfry. Mrs. Belfry first appeared in the 2016 novel, The Mourning Mansion (Franklin Stewart book 1). However, in timeline order, she appeared far earlier and plays a pivotal role in the Ghost Hunter Z trilogy.
Staff of Set (Ghost Hunter Z book 3): The mysterious and beautiful Hagatha Belfry arrives in the small relic shop owned by Ghost Hunter Z, not only to acquire the Magic Mirror of Agnes Waterhouse but also to hire Z to rid her house of a meddlesome spirit. Z travels to the secret town of Lilith's Hollow and faces off against the ghost of the very witch who created the mirror. Agnes Waterhouse will not leave without a fight.
Beyond the Hallow Grave: Editingle Halloween Anthology: I was honored to take part in Editingle's second annual Halloween anthology with my story The Absolute Fury of Hagatha Belfry. This short story follows the witch as she decides to take action in order to save her crumbling town from poor leadership. Although she tries to take a legitimate path to gain control of Lilith's Hollow, her anger ultimately gets the best of her, leading to a showdown with Claymore, the agoraphobic vampire in charge.
The Franklin Stewart Trilogy: Appearing in The Mourning Mansion, The Legend of Lilith's Hollow, and the upcoming third installment, The Queen of Halloween, Mrs. Belfry makes it her sworn duty to make life as difficult as possible for Franklin and Theo Stewart. The two boys are the nephews of her sworn enemy, Claymore, and have a way of sticking their noses where they don't belong. Still, the witch usually ends up on the right side of things, despite her apparent hatred for nearly everyone in town.
Hagatha Belfry will make her next appearance in book 2 of the Salvation series, though what part she'll play has yet to be determined.
