    The Woman Who Gave Birth to Rabbits , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 472min
    Emma Donoghue vividly brings to life stories inspired by her discoveries of fascinating, hidden scraps of the past. Here, an engraving of a woman giving birth to rabbits, a plague ballad, surgical case notes, theological pamphlets, and an articulated skeleton are ingeniously fleshed out into rollicking, full-bodied fictions. Whether she's spinning the tale of an English soldier tricked into marrying a dowdy spinster, a Victorian surgeon's attempts to "improve" women, a 17th-century Irish countess who ran away to Italy disguised as a man, or an "undead" murderess returning for the maid she left behind to be executed in her place, Emma Donoghue brings to her tales a colorful, elegant prose filled with the sights and smells and sounds of the period. She summons the ghosts of those men and women who counted for nothing in their own day and brings them to unforgettable life in fiction. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jilly Bond.

    The Pewter Scarab , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 54min
    The Pewter Scarab is a fictional novelette. Oddly enough, I wrote the book based on a dream. I dreamt of the whole story, characters, plot twists, and all. I woke up, wrote the dream down, outlined the story, and fleshed it out from there. I think it’s like a parable with the characters reflecting religious characters from the stories of old, while the story itself provides a modern backdrop with an interesting twist on the science of genetics.The story is about a financial analyst who discovers some anomalies in his reporting and is sent to Singapore to research the aberrant data. Upon his arrival at the company called Scarab Inc, he finds out that they are conducting illegal DNA research to manipulate human emotions.During his adventure, he finds a guru in the form of a genetics engineer employee and discovers newfound abilities thrust upon him to thwart the Scarab Inc.'s diabolical aims. ungekürzt.

    Her Kind of Case: A Lee Isaacs, Esq. Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 750min
    Her Kind of Case is a legal drama that centers on Lee Isaacs, a female defense attorney on the cusp of turning 60, who, out of curiosity, determination, and desire for a big, even impossible professional challenge, chooses to take on a tough murder case in which a largely uncooperative young man is accused of helping kill a gay gang member. This beautifully written novel, which earned a starred review from Kirkus, is built around not only a gradually resolving mystery, but by fully fleshed-out characters, particularly the strong-willed and sharp-witted Lee. It is a breath of fresh air to see someone of Lee's standing achieve career and personal success as an older single woman who grieves the recent loss of her husband, but continues her daily routine of law and karate, fighting tooth and nail to prove her client not guilty. (Note: The author, Jeanne Winer, is herself a longtime defense attorney in Boulder, Colorado, and a black-belt karate expert.) ungekürzt.

Each story is redolent with romance, great sex, and characters who are fully fleshed out in more ways than one. Sometimes rowdy, always randy, and surprisingly tender, these tales celebrate the coming together of souls as well as bodies. Whether happily ever after or just a happy ending, Labonté continues to raise the bar on gay love stories. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Drake Stone.

    The Only War We Had: A Platoon Leader's Journal of Vietnam , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 575min
    In my year in Vietnam, I walked the booby-trapped rice paddies of the Delta, searching for the elusive Viet Cong, and later macheted my way through the triple-canopy jungle, fighting the North Vietnamese Regulars…I sweated, thirsted, hunted, killed. Somewhere in all my experiences, I overlapped the situations of nearly every infantryman and many others who served. Michael Lee Lanning's journal of his first tour of duty in Vietnam provides an unvarnished daily account of life in the field. The blood, fear, camaraderie, and tedium of combat and maneuver. Fleshed out with narrative and detail years later, the pages of this memorable book, first published in 1987, show an eager young recruit growing before the reader's eyes into a proud but bloodied combat veteran. Subsequent volumes in his Vietnam Trilogy will detail Lanning's tour as a company commander and his post-war investigation into the mind of the enemy. Through his eyes, readers see the reality of a war that did not always receive glory but was, in his words, "the only war we had." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alexander MacDonald.

    Sweet Dirty Wolf , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 116min
    Back when Natie was a biker club's girl, she'd get attached to every cheating throttle jockey who gave her the time of day. Rinse and repeat. At 37, it seems she still hasn't learned. A handsome wolf in leathers like Dirty would eat her alive, then walk into the bar the next night and treat her like yesterday's drink. It's not as if he can help it, and Natie can't help but let him. About a year ago, when Dirty's pack plowed through the local biker gang like a buzzsaw, he lost a few brain cells in a massive hemorrhage. Now he's got CRS - can't remember squat. Natie? He never forgot her name, nor the curves that make him sweat. When Dirty finally gets her alone, he recognizes his mate. This is more than a case of potential morning-after awkward. If he can't remember who she is before he can imprint on her, it'll not only break her heart, it could break him.

    The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 192min
    “In all this world, there is nothing so beautiful as a happy child.” (Santa Claus)The architect of The Wizard of Oz delves into the mythological beginnings of the jolly old elf himself. Baum created a mythological world in which the magical forest of Burzee, created at the beginning of time, is the main source of all otherworldly magical power. Ak, the Master Woodsman, ruled the forests; Kern, the Master Husbandman of the World, ruled the food crops; Bo, the Master Mariner of the World, ruled the seas. All other immortals are subject to these three. Baum also created Ryls as guardians of the flowers and Knooks as guardians of the animals of the world. Baum first introduced Ryls and Knooks in his collection of short stories, American Fairy Tales. In The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus, his mythology is more fleshed out, comprising a rich enchanted world, which also includes the more traditional nymphs, guardians of the trees and fairies, and guardians of humans. Later, when Baum’s creation of Oz became his main focus, he placed all of his fantastical realms around Oz, yet designated that the forest of Burzee was the source of the magic of Oz itself. ungekürzt.
