    Good Bye Job, Hello Life: Finding Purpose Beyond Work , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 419min
    Mira Tasich, a loyal, hardworking, and devoted employee of several large corporations, finds herself unemployed, a victim of the recession. As a young teenager, she moved to America, learned a new language, and gained prestige and career success only to get laid off in a corporate downsizing. Frustrated, angry, and confused, she struggles to justify the familial and personal sacrifices made over the years for her employers, including a 2,141-mile move away from family and friends to the Southwest. Her focus on slowing down her life and enjoying the immediate, rather than worrying about the future, will inspire listeners. Mira writes that "we are conditioned to believe repetition is immutable", and she proves that change is what energizes her and holds the potential to energize others. Her journey of self-discovery and compromise provides insight to all listeners experiencing similar periods of identity crisis and priority reevaluation. With her self-deprecating sense of humor and undeterred determination, she offers a road map to her listeners as she evolves from a woman married to her job to a woman married to her passions. ungekürzt.

    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. Now Nancy finds herself fumbling through exorcisms and sorting applications for a new apprentice. 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. This episode includes two short stories:Family Affairs:Nancy’s ongoing issues with her apprentice’s dead mother take a back seat to an escaped demon that falls into her lap (well, actually, falls into the roof of the car in front of her). Now she has to track it down before it jumps into a new body or evolves into a more dangerous species. The Gremlin: For 12 years, Nancy’s mother had performed “exorcisms” for the local Department of Public Works just before the annual Fourth of July fireworks display to provide the workers with peace of mind. When Nancy agreed to continue the tradition, she didn’t expect an actual gremlin to show up. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Priscilla Finch.

    The Versions of Us , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 764min
    Some moments can change your life forever. Have you ever wondered, what if...? A man is walking down a country lane. A woman, cycling towards him, swerves to avoid a dog. On that moment, their future hinges. There are three possible outcomes, three small decisions that could determine the rest of their life. Eva and Jim are 19 and students at Cambridge when their paths first cross in 1958. And then there is David, Eva's then lover, an ambitious actor who loves Eva deeply. The Versions of Us follows the three different courses their lives could take following this first meeting. Lives filled with love, betrayal, ambition but through it all is a deep connection that endures whatever fate might throw at them. The Versions of Us explores the idea that there are moments when our lives might have turned out differently, the tiny factors or decisions that could determine our fate, and the precarious nature of the foundations upon which we build our lives. It is also a story about the nature of love and how it grows, changes and evolves as we go through the vagaries of life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Clare Corbett, Daniel Weyman.

    Global Warming: A Love Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 322min
    A romance at the surface, but look closer, and you'll see this hybrid love story also addresses the fate of the planet.  Julian, a workaholic-romantic, returns to school and falls head-over-heels for Allison, a lithe and lovely twenty-year-old college student while taking a course that examines the nuances of global warming.  In class, they pass notes, flirt, and slowly a relationship evolves. When Julian discovers that Allison is due to marry her high school sweetheart, he risks all-including his job-to impress her, seduce her and steal her away. During a final exam, dressed as a dictator, he reads a treaty on the social economics of climate change, threaded with stanzas from a divine poem written centuries ago by Sappho. Allison is moved by his courtship. Includes bikers, twisted fairytales, whiskey-drinking poets and a cynical, Kerouac-loving friend who can cite passages with a cigarette hanging from his mouth and a beer in hand. It has foreplay, after-play, rejection, respite, acceptance, and rejection again. A fast-paced, witty and smart read that gives a gritty, behind the scenes look at seduction. ungekürzt.

    Noumenon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 866min
    With nods to Arthur C. Clarke's Rama series, the real science of Neal Stephenson's Seveneves and a touch of Hugh Howey's Wool, this is a powerful tale of space travel, adventure, discovery and humanity. In 2088 humankind is at last ready to explore beyond Earth's solar system, and astrophysicist Reggie Straifer knows where we should go. He's discovered a distant anomalous star that appears to defy the laws of physics. It could be a weird natural phenomenon, or it could be alien. Convoy 7's mission to discern the nature of the star's strange qualities will use vast resources and take centuries, so in order to maintain the genetic talent of the first crew, clones will be used for the expedition. But a clone is not a perfect copy, and each generation has its own quirks, desires, and neuroses. As the centuries pass, their society changes and evolves, but their mission remains the same: to reach Reggie's mysterious star and explore its origins - and implications. A mosaic of discovery, Noumenon successfully examines aspects of the human condition with a touch that is both thrilling and poignant. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Premise: A Novel to Save the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 750min
    I believe a scientific discovery has been made that will change everyone's very existence, even upend the economy. If I'm right, this discovery will cause people to rethink what they are doing with their lives and how they relate to their neighbors and change the future course of humanity itself! (Jack Colder, The Premise) Andy Crossfield is a first-time author, a fact that may seem hard to believe to the listeners of The Premise. Set in the very near future, the plot evolves quickly, moving from a scientist who finds himself killing his coconspirator to a prison corporation CEO who devises the deaths of 13 inmates in order to cover up his larger crimes to a famous criminologist/mystery writer who becomes entangled with a beautiful, violet-eyed geneticist and tries to uncover why she is being targeted. The Premise explores the extremes of human nature and ingenuity and, through its many twists and didn't-see-that-coming revelations, convincingly makes the case that humanity can indeed create a better future. Strap yourself in for one helluva ride. The Premise is an adventure you won't want to turn off! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Anthony LeRoy Lovato, Britany Dean Fullmer.
