08 JANUARY 2026

In this episode of The Corner Bookstore, we welcome John Wolforth, an author, web developer, and community storyteller based in historic Ipswich, Massachusetts.
John shares how the eerie magic of Halloween and the rich history of New England’s coastal towns influence his writing, including The Witch’s Revenge, a revised edition of his first published work, and Santa’s Best Deal Ever. We explore how place, folklore, and local memory shape storytelling—and why New England continues to be such fertile ground for imaginative and atmospheric narratives.
The conversation also dives into John’s work beyond books: running a busy internet marketing agency, helping local businesses bring their stories to life online, and hosting The Sane Estate podcast, where local lore, community insight, and wit intersect.
At the heart of this discussion is a powerful theme that aligns deeply with The Corner Bookstore: everyone has a story to tell. Whether through writing, digital presence, podcasting, or simple neighborly conversation, John reminds us that meaningful connection begins when we slow down and truly listen.
This episode is a thoughtful exploration of storytelling, listening, community, and the enduring power of books to preserve and share the soul of a place.

ABOUT JOHN
John Wolforth is an author, web developer, and community storyteller based in historic Ipswich, Massachusetts. During the day, he runs a busy internet marketing agency, bringing local businesses’ visions to life online.

As an author, John draws inspiration from the eerie magic of Halloween and the rich history of New England’s coastal towns. His book The Witch’s Revenge is a revised version of his first published work, and he is also the author of Santa’s Best Deal Ever, among others.

A resident of Ipswich with his wife Joanne and their cat Grayson, John enjoys immersing himself in the stories that define coastal New England—and sharing them through both his writing and his podcast, The Sane Estate, a show that blends local lore, community insight, and a healthy dose of wit.

John is a believer that everyone has a story to tell; whether it be through their website, their writings or a neighborly conversation – we just need to listen.
