Event description: 

Deborah Harkness grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia and has lived in western Massachusetts, the Chicago area, Northern California, upstate New York, and Southern California. For the past 28 years Deborah has been a student and scholar of history, and received degrees from Mount Holyoke College, Northwestern University, and the University of California at Davis. During that time she researched the history of magic and science in Europe, especially during the period from 1500 to 1700.

Deborah’s career in fiction began in September 2008 when she began to wonder “if there really are vampires, what do they do for a living?” “A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES” is the unexpected answer to that question. The book debuted at #2 on the New York Timesbestseller list, and was also a bestseller in the UK, France, and Germany.
