Description

In today's episode, I pull some cards and chat with author Cathryn Kemp, with whom I share an agent and a love for all things witchy.

Cathryn’s novel, A Poisoner’s Tale, is set in 17th-century Italy and explores the thrilling events leading up to the execution of a mysterious woman dubbed “The Poisoner of Palermo”. The heroine (or villain, you decide) at the heart of her tale isn’t just a poisoner, she's also a tarot reader. You can listen to our conversation for free on the latest audio episode of The Shuffle.
