    About this ebook

    Marriage counselor Nancy Werlock didn't want to take over the family business. Unfortunately for her fate, and a bunch of conniving but well-meaning spirits, have other plans. Because for Werlock women, the family business is demonology. And at the Three Wishes Boutique, the customer may not always be right, but he may very well be possessed.

    Episode Thirteen of the series includes two stories (estimated word count 7400 words)

    Blame Games: A formal investigation from the Justicars into the attempt on Nancy’s life reveals unexpected information.

    Judgement Day: The trap has been set for Chana Magus, but will it catch her?

      Nancy Werlock's Diary - Julie Ann Dawson

      Blame Games

      October 27th,

      I open the front door to find Justicar Stewart Hannity standing on my porch. Madame Warlock, my apologies for the early call. I was asked to come speak with you regarding the incident at your shop.

      The incident in question was the widow of the man who killed my mother in a drunk driving accident deciding that the whole Thou shall not suffer a witch to live thing was an actual thing. She showed up at the shop a couple of days ago and tried to stab me. While disconcerting, I was never in any real danger. I’m proficient in defending myself so the only real damage was to a display case. But she made very public rants about witchcraft and devil worship and my mother returning from the grave for revenge before committing suicide in jail.

      So I’m not surprised to find a Justicar at my door.

      Potential breaches are a huge risk to the magical community. Some people don’t understand why we have to go to such lengths to prevent mundanes from learning the truth about magic. There are even some vocal factions that think going public with the truth might actually be a good thing. These people have a naïve view of human nature. Individuals, under the right circumstances, can come to terms with the existence of the supernatural. Houston’s Aunt Ruth is an example. She knew her sister was a psion and she knows that Houston has powers. But it took her a long time to come to terms with that knowledge.

      But humanity as a whole? I didn’t live through the Inquisition, but as a member of the College of Evocation it is a required field of study. Tens of thousands of people, both witches and mundanes, were murdered. And while the root causes of these atrocities were complex, those complexities don’t change the reality that people were murdered simply because others felt comfortable with the idea of slaughtering witches. And the fact that someone tried to stab me to death for being a witch only proves those people still exist.

      I let Justicar Hannity in and offer him some coffee. We sit down at the kitchen table and he pulls out his tablet and a silvery metal sphere from his briefcase. He twists open the sphere to activate the secretary spider. The glasslike figure twitches for a second and then
