Escape from Witchwood Hollow by Jordan Elizabeth Mierek 4 out of 5 Synopsis Everyone in Arnn - a small farming town with more legends than residents - knows the story of Witchwood Hollow: if you venture into the whispering forest, the witch will trap your soul among the shadowed trees. After losing her parents in a horrific terrorist attack on the Twin Towers, fifteen-year-old Honoria and her older brother escape New York City to Arnn. In the lure of that perpetual darkness, Honoria finds hope, when she should be afraid. Perhaps the witch can reunite her with her lost parents. Awakening the witch, however, brings more than salvation from mourning, for Honoria discovers a past of missing children and broken promises. To save the citizens of Arnn from becoming the witch’s next victims, she must find the truth behind the woman’s madness. How deep into Witchwood Hollow does Honoria dare venture?

My writing hasn't ventured into the Steampunk genre yet, but it's a fun foray into Fantasy and Witchcraft. I personally love the whole Goth vibe, especially the music and fashions - it just seemed to strike a chord when I was younger.
