Sylvie Filliatreault of Montreal wrote a series of books about witches in medieval England. But forget about riding brooms and hot smoky cauldrons. She wrote those stories to showcase the Wiccan lifestyle of those days and tell a compelling story about four sisters being imprisoned by the new clergy for their beliefs. She took 10 years to write the first one and after being disappointed by the deals she was offered by publishers, she decided to create her own edition company and self-publish her three other books of the series. The first book is titled Four Sisters and the series is available on Amazon. (Photo credit : Maxime Myre)Sylvie Filliatreault of Montreal wrote a series of books about witches in medieval England.
