  Once, there was power in her magick. Now, she must find magick in her power. 
  Claire Emerson has lost her magick—and with it, her place among the Crones. It should spell the end of her involvement in their centuries-old war against the dark god, Morok, but it can’t. Because Claire knows something the others don’t—Morok has become an imposter in the Crones’ midst, and their destruction is imminent. 
  To stop the dark god’s nefarious plan, Claire will have to find her missing powers. But neither she nor her allies have a clue where to start—and that’s the easy part. The hard part? Getting past Morok’s monsters in time to rescue the Crones. Especially when she comes face to face with Morok himself. 
  Will Claire’s powers be enough to defeat a god and save her companions—and the world?

  Arnold Bennett was born in 1867 in Hanley one of the six towns that formed the Potteries that later joined together to become Stoke on Trent; the area in which most of his works are located. For a short time he worked for his solicitor father before realising that to advance his life he would need to become his own man. Moving to London at twenty-one he obtained work as a solicitor’s clerk and gradually moved into a career of journalism. At the turn of the century he turned full time to writing and shortly thereafter in 1903 he moved to Paris and in 1908 published to great acclaim The Old Wives Tale. With this his reputation was set. Clayhanger and The Old Wives Tale are perhaps his greatest and most lauded novels.

  The story I tell is from my own casino High Roller gambling experiences in the early 80s when casino gambling became legal in Atlantic City. At that time only Nevada and New Jersey had commercial casinos. Today there are 44 states with some form of casino gambling. Some states have commercial and tribal casinos. I’ve written “COMPED” as fiction because if I would have written as nonfiction, what is known today as the Gaming industry would have stopped its publication. That may sound like a robust claim, but after you read or listen to “COMPED” you will understand why. What I've written won't teach you how to beat the casinos it will teach you why you shouldn't try. It will also enlighten you on how we ended up with casinos in most of our backyards along with how a casino operator became our 45th president.

  Numbers rule Dr. Mei Sharpe's life. She has no husband, one friend, two daughters, and three random meetings with the same woman within four weeks. Once is chance, twice is coincidence, but upon the third meeting, even Mei in all her empirical rigidness must admit that perhaps the universe is giving her a nudge. A nudge that lands her directly in the path of Lieutenant Morgan Kelly—an affable, charming detective for the Sheriff Department's brand-new cold case team working down the hall from Mei's morgue. 
   
   
   
  More golden retriever than hard-boiled detective, Morgan is determined to pull the asocial widow out of her shell. As the icy scientist warms to her cheerful new friend, an irrepressible chemistry develops, and Mei begins to realize she's perhaps a different number on the Kinsey scale than previously considered. 
   
   
   
  As Mei and Morgan struggle with guilt and grief, drama and desires, Mei finds her scientific austerity is no match for the universe and its nudges toward the startling revelation of what her heart really wants. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.
