About the author
J Elizabeth Mills is the author of "Witches in America," published by Rosen Central as part of a young-adult nonfiction series. The book surveys the history and legend of witches in the United States, beginning with the 1692 Salem witch trials and tracing how that episode and related folklore have shaped later ideas about witches, spellcasting and the figure of the witch in American culture. Written for a school and library audience, it combines historical narrative with cultural commentary for younger readers encountering the subject for the first time. As the only title listed for this author, it positions her as a writer of accessible, fact-based introductions to witchcraft history rather than a practitioner's guide or an academic study, fitting within a wider catalogue of educational nonfiction on folklore and the supernatural for teenage readers.
