At 9:05 am Author L.L. Craft will discuss Abigail

To the city of Chicago, Abigail Lefay is the eccentric owner of the infamous fetish club, The Black Flame. A strange recluse with ties to the occult crowd, she is seen as no more than a woman with a 'gimmick'.

But what only a select few know is Abigail is a powerful witch and next in line to lead the ancient-and deadly-Lefay coven. That however, is her dying mother, Lorena's wish for her as Abigail wants nothing more than to be left alone in the club she created as her own private world.

But when a local Mafioso breaks a truce established with her mother Lorena years ago and tries to begin a sex trafficking operation, abducting teenage girls to sell them, Abigail must come forward to deal with it.

Having once been a young girl in the hellish existence the Mafia would subject these girls to; Abigail is more than ready to teach the mob they’re not the only family that should be feared in Chicago.

How Money Works

When it comes to finances, how much do you know?

If you’re like most people, you probably know little about personal finance. Perhaps you think long-term security is impossible on your income. But, the truth is, no matter what your income level, you can achieve financial security. You just have to take the time to learn a few simple principles about how money works.

Financial education is for everyone

Primerica is about education. We believe that there are no “secrets” to financial security… and financial education isn’t just for the wealthy. Primerica’s goal is to educate hardworking families — just like yours — on simple concepts that can change your financial future forever.
Do you know when you need life insurance the most? How about saving for retirement? Do you know how much something really costs when you put it on your credit card? Taking a few moments to learn some simple concepts about how money works can save you from financial headaches later. Learn more about how money works with the financial concepts to your right —they’re simple!

Paul is scheduled for the Authors Hour Radio Broadcast at 9:35 am

Well, my latest book, co-authored by Thomas Blacke, is in the final stages of publication and should be released in the next few days. The tales of the corrupt acts revealed in Scoundrels: Defining Corruption Through Tales of Political Intrigue in Rhode Island, have infuriated those who read advanced copies.
Following is a description on the book's back cover. Please share this post so others wi...ll know of the books eminent release.

It has been said that political corruption is as old as government itself. Yet despite its timeless nature and its devastating impact on society, "political corruption" remains an elusive term that is difficult to define. In order to fully grasp its impact on government and society as a whole, it is critical to first have at least a cursory understanding of what corruption is and how it is measured.
Using several infamous instances of corruption in Rhode Island politics as its framework (considered by many to be one of our nation's most corrupt states), Scoundrels: Defining Corruption Through Tales of Political Intrigue in Rhode Island attempts to define what has not always been easily recognized and for years, has eluded traditional definition. This book examines and categorizes various forms of corruption - including both active and passive practices - that have negative and deteriorating affects not only on the individuals who fall victim to the corrupt acts, but on society as a whole.
Scoundrels is an unsettling chronicle of corruption in our times. And the authors warn that until all citizens unite in their opposition to, and the exposing of, all government corruption, nothing in our society will change, and our government of the people, by the people and for the people will continue to hurt the people it was intended to help.
