    Synopsis

    An ancient line of witches . . .
    An undying love . . .
    A coming revolution . . .
    One woman in the center of it all . . .

    London, England. Mysterious. Beautiful. Full of legends and lore. It is home and a safe place for Amelia Pivens Kreutzer. For an ancient society of witch hunters, and practitioners, it is an easy place to go unnoticed. And for Scotland Yard's Denny Carlisle, on All Hallows Eve, when the Full Blood Moon reaches its highest point in the sky, it will become a city of awe and mayhem as the most powerful witch in modern history rises to avenge her lost love and forever end the ancient war among the witches and those who hunt them.

    Blood Moon is the first book in A.W. Gryphon's Witches Moon Series.

    Blood Moon, by A.W.Gryphon, is a wonderfully engaging story that will pull you in and become incredibly believable. Gryphon has woven a love story,a mystery,a timeless tale that all readers can relate to into an intriguing storyline that not only is readable to anyone, it is close enough to real life for a witch to read and be able to enjoy without having to self-edit untruths. There are no hocus pocus, lightning bolts from fingertips, love spells or cackling within these pages. The first thing that struck me was how seamlessly the ideas and ritual of being a witch are explained in the story itself. The main character, Amelia, starts out as a young girl and her story quickly changes from just a day to a drama that follows her throughout her life. This is not just about a story about being a witch. Gryphon has provided enough twists and turns to keep even the most clever mystery reader guessing the outcome. The best mysteries are those that connect all the story's threads and leave you wanting more. Blood Moon is certainly that sort of story. I would recommend reading this book. It is a great escape, as fiction should be. It is also wonderful to read a book full of what we witches already know in our lives: spellwork, balance, the power of history and the connection between what is and what will become. Blood Moon by A.W. Gryphon, belongs on every witch's bookshelf. It is not everyday that a book can be a work of fiction and still have such strong ties to reality in it that I find myself feeling pulled into the story because of the familiarity of the subject. Especially since the subject is witchcraft.

    October 29, 2008: I had the opportunity to read this book and interview the author over lunch. I love where she creates a world bound in historical accounts, her own imagination and no hocus pocus or spells. Seamlessly, A W Gryphon brings us from the time of the Druids to the 80's of San Francisco and then to London present day. The characters are fashionable, cultural people that happen to be fighting an age old battle between good and evil and witches and wiccans. This book is apart of a Trilogy and I can't wait for the next one, this is an absolute must read.

    September 24, 2008: In the spirit of The Mayfair Witch books by Anne Rice, but with a style all of her own, A.W. Gryphon has given us a great first novel. I reference the Mayfair Witch Chronicles not to imply that this author has modeled herself after Anne Rice, but to let fans of that series know that if you loved those stories, you will love 'Blood Moon.' There are few gifts in the historcal witch genre and this is certainly one of them.
