    Interlopers : The Strangers Bureau, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 191min
    Interlopers - book 1 of the Strangers Bureau Series is a novella introducing my new series of supernatural mysteries - The Strangers Bureau - featuring veteran Sûreté detective Eleanor Gerard and set in the now tranquil but historically blood soaked landscape of Northern France. Book 2 in The Strangers Bureau series - Pictures of Lily - is about the ghosts of the Western Front and the spirits of the ones they left behind. In Interlopers we discover that not all is well within the mysterious, ultra secretive Security Committee for Interloper Affairs.  For nearly a century, SCIA's work has remained a dark secret within the underbelly of French Governments through war and peace. Nominally acting under the direction of the Ministry of the Interior, the Security Committee for Interloper Affairs - the best kept secret of the Fifth Republic - has become a bloated, corrupt monster, a rogue organ of state whose senior officers are more preoccupied with their own personal aggrandisement and the preservation of SCIA's power, than any meaningful notion of service to the French state.  No French government has ever admitted the existence of SCIA and yet in Paris key members of the embattled socialist administration - confronted with poll ratings in free fall and a deepening economic crisis - has belatedly recognized that the Security Committee for Interloper Affairs is a loudly ticking time bomb. SCIA was created to quarantine, to hide, to render invisible a reality that no French Government has ever dared to confront.  Now is the time of reckoning when sooner rather than later, that reality will become public knowledge.  And when that happens, so too, will the scandal of the Security Committee for Interloper Affairs.  Acting under presidential decree three men meet clandestinely in a villa at Compiegne to belatedly begin to contemplate the unthinkable. ungekürzt.

"...the definitive philosophical and historical work about this movement that, belatedly, has transformed society. Language: English. Narrator: Gloria Steinem.

    Another London: International Photographers Capture City Life 1930-1980 - Through the Lens , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 8min
    Another London reviews a survey of international photographers at Tate Britain. It is an enthralling and unexpected selection, and the anthology resonates beyond this showing. It is from the Eric and Louise Franck collection, which has been donated to the Tate, and is part of the process by which the gallery has very belatedly, but with almost overwhelming enthusiasm, entered into collecting and showing photography as a medium in in its own right, with a very active patrons group supporting acquisitions. One of the benefits of Tate joining the fray is evident in the installation of this show, roughly chronological, and rhythmically paced throughout its seven sections, with images shown in clusters, and individual photographers in depth. Vitrines show a number of books with images from settlers, by such as the American Alvin Langdon Coburn, the German EO Hoppe, and passersby, (usually on the way to America), such as the Hungarian Moholy-Nagy. ungekürzt.

    Gemma Carlson didn't plan on waking up married. She also didn't count on running into her old flame - and her son's father turned country rock star - Travis Bowers, followed by a night of drunken dares. Apparently one of those involved a ring on her finger and a vow...neither of which she intends to keep. Now, with a hangover from hell, this good girl gone bad knows there's just one thing to do: run. Travis has been all over the world, but Gemma has never been far from his thoughts. So when they had the chance to catch up over a few drinks, he didn't hesitate. Of course, he didn't expect it would lead to marriage or a runaway bride! Travis finally has a second chance and doesn't plan on losing Gemma again - or the son he didn't know he had. He proposes, albeit belatedly, a date. Or, rather, a few. If they can make this marriage work by starting over, he stays. If not... Gemma's not interested; she's got a son to protect and a heart to heal. But having Travis around could make both a little easier. Still, good girls don't date rock stars...right? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sharmila Devar.

    With Open Arms: Short Stories of Misadventures in Morocco , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 159min
    When Matthew had to renew his European visa, his point of exit was obvious: he was going to Morocco. Memories of his previous trip filled him with anxiety. What was he thinking? After everything that had happened, did he really want to go back? Scams. Altercations. Mishaps. But also humor and beauty. His curiosity overcoming his fears, his second trip would prove as unforgettable as the first. "My reflexes belatedly kicking in, I couldn't help but flinch. The children cheered, relishing having reduced me to their plaything." "Our little spectacle having brought the night market to a standstill, we were now surrounded by about 50 men. I was living the chaotic mob scene from so many movies, and it was every bit as nightmarish as it had always looked on-screen." "As I was about to let out a desperate cry that would require no translation, the giant finished...leaving me flinching on the floor like a bug that's been smashed but isn't quite dead." "Amidst astonishingly beautiful, unsullied waves of sand, a lone figure squatted, holding a roll of toilet paper. It was a peculiar, paradoxical sight."   An Amazon.com best-selling collection of travel writing as entertaining for the armchair traveler as indispensable for anyone interested in adventure in North Africa. ungekürzt.
