Come in. Welcome to my home.  My name is Goody Winters, but most people call me the Old Wife. For more than 300 years, I have lived in a saltbox by the sea in Salem, Massachusetts, with my cat, Salem, who always seems to be getting into trouble. I am a wise woman, what some people would call a witch. When I'm not brewing magic potions or casting spells, I trade my wand for a quill and write stories of mystery, murder and the macabre (with a pinch of science fiction and fantasy).  Salem and I invite you to wander through our house and out onto our property and read some of the stories I've written.  If you enjoy your visit, feel free to return.  I add new stories to the site every month.
