    Asian Shorts: Short Stories About Asia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 229min
    Asian Shorts came about because of a sequence of events on one weekend in May 2015. A friend was telling me that he had several short stories with Asia as a backdrop, I was saying that I had a few as well, another friend sent me an email that he wanted to write a short on Pattaya, and one of my Thai cousins sent me her latest photo, the one on the cover of this book. It was like somebody was trying to tell me something, or several were anyway. The 19 stories by nine authors in this anthology were sent to me in one month, but are as varied as their writers. The stipulation was that Asia or an Asian had to feature strongly in the story. We have stories featuring Cambodia, China, Laos, Malaysia, Pakistan, Thailand, the USA, and Vietnam, by Asian and non-Asian authors who live in or come from Britain, Malaysia, Thailand, the USA, and Vietnam. Some of these writers are well-known as writers, some are better known in other spheres, some have written a lot before and been published in the traditional sense, others are traveling the indie publishing path and for yet others this is the very first time they or you will have seen their stories in print of any kind. ungekürzt.

    Middlemarch , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1851min
    In George Eliot's Middlemarch, the idea of marriage and vocation are explored through a small town's community of ordinary people. One of the main characters, Dorothea Brooke, is a kind and good-hearted woman who gives to the poor and helps to rebuild cottages of poor farmers. However, she is also stubborn and very strong-willed. Despite objections from nearly everyone around her, Brooke still chooses to marry the much older Casaubon. Although she enjoys learning from him, she is ultimately heartbroken when he dies and an unknown stipulation in the will that states that she can't marry Will Ladislaw, Casaubon's cousin, makes Brooke feel betrayed by Casaubon's previously unknown mistrust. Reverting back to her strong-willed personality, Brooke decides to marry Ladislaw and give up the inheritance from Casaubon's will. One of the other main characters, Tertius Lydgate, also starts the story as a kind-hearted person whose main calling is to help the town by practicing as a medical doctor to the locals. However, when he falls in love with Rosamond Vincy, his marriage to her ends up ruining his finances, and he becomes caught between caring for Rosamond and blaming her for his downfall. The novel includes the intertwined lives of several other townspeople, which includes a murder plot and social politics that make for a very interesting listen. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    A Dead Bore: John Pickett Mysteries, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 375min
    Eager to escape London following the scandal of her husband's death, Lady Fieldhurst accepts an invitation to spend the summer in rural Yorkshire as the guest of Sir Gerald and Lady Hollingshead. She soon discovers, however, that country life is not the panacea she had hoped for. Tension reigns and tempers flare at Hollingshead Place, due in large part to Lady Hollingshead's ambitions for her daughter, a lovely young lady destined for a brilliant marriage in spite of her love for a penniless curate. When a dinner party ends with the death of the vicar - a kindly old soul whose only sin appears to be the authorship of a dull local history - Lady Fieldhurst suspects foul play and sends for Bow Street Runner John Pickett, with one stipulation: since she is a guest in the house, Picket must keep his connection to Bow Street a secret. Pickett obliges by presenting himself as her footman, complete with livery and powdered hair. But Pickett soon has his white-gloved hands full sifting through old secrets, uncovering hidden passions, and dealing with a demanding housekeeper - not to mention avoiding the younger daughter of the house, a precocious 14-year-old with a school girl infatuation for the faux footman. Then there is the problem of Lady Fieldhurst herself, at once an able assistant and an all too pleasant distraction. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joel Froomkin.

    One Plus One Plus One , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 63min
    A lighthearted listen and complete silliness three-in-one short story in less than 10,000 words. (Think of it as an adult coloring-in exercise for the idle mind.)  It started during one of those boring never-ending commuting journeys shared with my publishing agent and lifelong friend Jan. Jan suggested an easy-to-listen, on-the-go detective lose-hanging piece to kill start-stop commuting time. Maybe a bit of light-hearted investigator reading/listening fun that one could start and then put down with your train timetable and front door key just to be picked up again tomorrow morning. A who-done-it story, or stories, that I would begin in some detail and then allow to fizzle out, never to finish, with only a vague catch-all author’s synopsis. It sounded tempting; my publisher bought the idea and advanced 30,000 oounds. Not that I was in need of the money. Of course not.  The only stipulation - it had to be less than 10,000 words. Story 1: A Pair of Two’sThe man with No Mission: a man more interested in playing poker that solving cases. Story 2: Blame the RainShe was the one reminding her husband to tell Tom McBride of the telephone call on the night of the murder that only said “It was the rain”.Story 3: ini mini mino moCatch a serial killer by his toe.

If I can't keep my heart under lock and key, I risk losing the relationship I need the most.   Jake has his own reasons for granting my baby wish.

    Out of the Wilderness: A Western Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 553min
    Peter Dunstan is a big rancher who wants to become bigger, to control more land. So when he buys Dr. Henry Morgan's ranchland that has been unsuccessfully converted to farming, it is his intention to return it to open range. The only stipulation the doctor makes is that Dunstan must retain Sandy Sweyn, who has more or less been Dr. Morgan's ward. Though the man is of age, he is generally considered a half-wit, even by the doctor. Still, Sandy has a fabulous gift: He can communicate with animals. The most refractory and savage bronco will yield to his subtly persuasive methods even when expert horse breakers have failed. After Sandy gentles the totally recalcitrant gelding that Dunstan has been trying to break to the reins, he claims that his mare, Cleo, though used only for drudgery, could easily outrun the gelding in a race. Dunstan is so contemptuous of this boast that he bets $5,000 and ownership of the gelding if he loses the race. As it turns out, Cleo readily wins. Rather than indulging his anger, Dunstan decides to use Sandy's gifts to his advantage by getting him seemingly impossible tasks. The problem is that after each of these incredible tasks is accomplished, some personal misfortune befalls Dunstan. Finally Dunstan drives Sandy into the mountain wilderness, where his prowess eventually becomes legendary. But banishment is no solution for Dunstan when he comes to need Sandy more than ever, and his only way of getting him back is to resort to trickery. ungekürzt. Language: English.
