Sinopsis

To this day nobody pretends to understand the Devil of East Lupton, Vermont. There are even differences of opinion about the end to which that devil came. Mr. Tedder is sure he was the fiend in question, and that he ceased to be fiendish when he rid himself of the pot over his head.
 
Other authorities believe that heavy ordnance did the trick and point to a quarter-mile crater for proof. It takes close reasoning to decide.
 
But if by the Devil of East Lupton you mean the Whatever-it-was that came out of Somewhere to Here, and caused all the catastrophes by his mere arrival—why—then the Devil was the Whatever-it-was in the leathery, hide-like covering on the morning Mr. Tedder ran away from the constable.

In the year of grace 1345, as Sir Roger Baron de Tourneville is gathering an army to join King Edward III in the war against France, a most astonishing event occurs: a huge silver ship descends through the sky and lands in a pasture beside the little village of Ansby in North East Lincolnshire. 
 
The Wersgorix, whose scouting ship it is, are quite expert at taking conquering planets, and having determined from orbit that this one is suitable, they initiate standard procedure. Their ship carries guided missiles and nuclear weaponry - but they have long since lost the art (and weapons) of hand-to-hand fighting. And this time it's no mere primitives the Wersgorix seek to enslave - they've launched their invasion against Englishmen! 
 
In the end, only one alien is left alive - and Sir Roger's grand vision is born. He intends for the creature to fly the ship first to France to aid his King, then on to the Holy Land to vanquish the infidel. And then . . . ?

Vonda Winterbourne is, sadly, a lady. Much to her regret. And her parents expect her to act like one. That includes marrying a nice white witch who can provide her safety, companionship, and all the comforts one could desire in their gilded cage. 
 
 
 
Hiram Nádasdy is no gentleman. He's a black witch with a reputation that strikes terror in the hearts of his enemies. But not in the girl. No, the girl is fearless, reckless, and determined to know him. He ought to reveal the darkness lurking in his heart and scare her away before it's too late, but he's curious about her as well. And, frankly, he's not sure it would work. 
 
 
 
Black witches don't befriend white witches, and white witches don't fall in love with black witches. They certainly don't marry them. 
 
 
 
Or do they? 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.

It was perfect! When he bought the old Victorian style country home known as Weatherton Estate, he didn’t believe in the supernatural. But it didn’t take him long to realize that he was not alone in the house! 
At first, the manifestations were frightening. But once he realized the entity desperately wanted to communicate, he enlisted the assistance of his psychic housekeeper, Martha. She had been taking care of the house for years, but she had never tried to contact the ghost or find out why it was haunting Weatherton Estate. The mystery deepens even more when they learn that the answer to the puzzle is hidden in a diary lost for decades.  
Come along with James and Martha on a journey of fear and self discovery, as they try to right a heinous wrong and free a tortured soul. The old Weatherton house will make you a believer too, when you discover the mystery that lies Behind the Wainscoting!
