E.K. Prescott, Ph.D., has been an educator for almost 30 years, and has taught at the college level for the past 15 years. Among her many accomplishments, she has been awarded research grants, named director of a research institute, and her work was published by the S-STEP group of the American Educators Research Association. She was also asked to present her research in London, England at an S-Step conference.
Her new fictional mystery, The Ivy League Chronicles: 9 Squares, is filled with historical facts and events that were very real in New Haven, CT in the 1920’s. The book explores the truths about the ruling class of the United States and gives the reader a sense that there is a lot more to the world than what is actually seen. She brilliantly weaves together the threads of New World Order, metaphysics, witchcraft, conspiracy, and good and evil into this first installment of the Ivy League Chronicles series.
Dr. Prescott lives in a log cabin nestled in the mountains of northern Arizona with her husband, four horses, and two black labs. She connects with fans via social media on Facebook.com/EKPrescottWritesMystery and on Twitter @ekprescottwrite, as well as sharing insights on writing, her book tour and historical fiction on her blog.

I’ve been told that my first novel, The Ivy League Chronicles: 9 Squares lies somewhere between The Da Vinci Code and National Treasure. The history revisits the turbulent times of our 1920s, and provides scientific answers to a somewhat illusionary set of events. It gives us a good look into the United States Watergate of the time, the possibility of a ruling elite class, and a well developed mystery which leaves the reader wanting to find more answers to be revealed in Book Two.
When I’m asked about crafting a story with paranormal elements from historical events, my response usually surprises people. This is because it was actually quite easy to add a metaphysical theme, as it was an every day accepted practice in the 20s. Séances, and consulting a psychic, were just a few of the attractions the elite provided at every event, if you were to be anybody that is.
Take for example the widow of the inventor of the Winchester Rifle (which was originally made in New Haven, CT), who consulted a medium after his death. She was told to build a house for the dead souls killed by her husband’s rifles. And, that she should not stop building this house or she would die. She then moved to California and never stopped building until her death. The house is now a tourist stop…Winchester Mystery House in San Jose. When it comes from weaving a story from history, I had to ask myself many times while I wrote the first book in my series, “Why try to make stuff up when the real stuff is so good?”
