I am the author of a book about Bridget Bishop. I spent two years on research. The dates and events of her life are accurate according to all remaining documents. I went to Salem, I looked in archives, I read every book written on the subject. I have spoken to historical societies, my book has been reviewed by legitimate sources and selected by book groups. Now this book has been removed from the Bridget Bishop page and cited as spam, because I published it through Authorhouse when pregnant with twins. I realize there is a campaign against self-publishing, and I was unaware of the lengths it would go to when I decided to go with a POD. The book is fiction, but it is also a great resource for anyone researching her life and the times. The fictionalized portions are what fill in blanks between an accurate account of her time in Salem and the circumstances surrounding her death.
