About The Author
The Male Witches of Salem is Clinton Elliott’s second book in a projected trilogy about dissident men. The first book, Hidden, was published in 2013 and consists of many short biographies of gay men throughout history. Elliott says that if his great age does not prevent it, the trilogy’s third book will be about pirates, a much more complicated subject than what we see in movies.
Born in 1927, Elliott earned degrees in music from Yale and Columbia and was a composer for many years in the music departments of both CBS and ABC. Before moving with his family to the Berkshire hills of Massachusetts, Elliott lived in Manhattan.
Elliott passed away on November 12, 2023.
