Geoff Taylor Turns to Fiction in Provocative New Novel Witch Hunt

Geoff Taylor, the former deputy editor of the Waikato Times and author of the investigative bestseller Goodnight Malaysian 370, is stepping into fiction with the release of his latest work, Witch Hunt.

The novel, described by Taylor as "part love story, part political warning," explores a nation unraveling under a wave of ideological fervor. Set in the fictional country of New Salem, the story follows journalist George Trainor and Nurse Laura Webster both trying to rebuild their lives after failed marriages who suddenly find themselves at odds with a new, uncompromising political regime. As public opinion shifts and the state clamps down on dissent, the couple faces losing their jobs, their children's education, and their freedom.

" It felt like I was watching my own country shift into something unrecognizable ," Taylor said when asked why he chose fiction after three nonfiction books. " People were scared to speak their minds. I had to get this anger out of my system, I guess. At the same time, I wanted to tell a good story. "

Taylor, who has drawn comparisons between today's ideological battles and the Salem witch trials, says the novel reflects concerns he has observed firsthand. " There's a growing hysteria against those with alternative views. This book tries to explore where that road might lead ."

Witch Hunt will be available soon on Amazon.
