Havana, Oklahoma is the kind of place where doors are left unbolted at night and children play carefree during the day. Neighbors take time to genuinely get to know one another, and crime is nonexistent. Life is certainly ideal in this small town. Almost. In Jeff Brown’s new novel, Witching Water, death has found its way into peaceful Havana in the form of a leather-clad phantom who haunts the midnight highways late on an antique Indian motorcycle. Three citizens have mysteriously died, and the town’s beloved doctor is missing. Assistant District Attorney Mike Wind suspects these tragic deaths are not mere coincidences. Teamed with brilliant chemist Allie Lamareaux, Wind is ill-prepared for the bizarre tale of environmental crime, insanity and murder that unfolds in front of him. Jeff Brown is a direct descendant of Oklahoma’s infamous pre-statehood outlaws. Proud of his natural narrative abilities and rural values, Brown has found it easy to bring his past to life through writing. Witching Water, Brown’s first novel, combines his instinctive knowledge of storytelling with his rural roots. Witching Water is available in softcover (ISBN 1-58939-507-7) from Virtualbookworm.com, Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com. The book can also be ordered from most bookstores around the United States and the United Kingdom. More information about the book and author can also be found at www.witchingwater.com. -30-
