    New England Bound: Slavery and Colonization in Early America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 604min
    In a work that fundamentally recasts the history of colonial America, Wendy Warren shows how the institution of slavery was inexorably linked with the first century of English colonization of New England. While most histories of slavery in early America confine themselves to the Southern colonies and the Caribbean, New England Bound forcefully widens the historical aperture to include the entirety of English North America. Using original research culled from dozens of archives, Warren conclusively links the growth of the northern colonies to the Atlantic slave trade, showing how 17th-century New England's fledgling economy derived its vitality from the profusion of ships that coursed through its ports, passing through on their way to and from the West Indian sugar colonies. What's more, leading New England families like the Winthrops and Pynchons invested heavily in the West Indies, owning both land and human property, the profits of which eventually wended their way back north. That money, New England Bound shows, was the tragic fuel for the colonial wars of removal and replacement of New England Indians that characterized the initial colonization of the region. ungekürzt.

    Why Me? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 173min
    In the blink of an eye, Mom ran up behind me and pushed me into the fence. Instinctively, I reached out my arms to stop my fall and ended up grabbing the live fence. My hands clamped around the thin wires, and my body collapsed to the ground as the electricity coursed through it. I opened my eyes and saw my mother standing over me with the strangest smile on her face. "Oh, my God, I’m going to die!" I thought in panic. Imagine never being able to close your eyes and remember the feel of your mother’s arms wrapped around you. Now imagine closing your eyes and remembering your mother’s tears splashing down on your face as she is on top of you, crying as she is trying to choke you to death. My mother left me these memories and many more during my traumatic childhood. After many years of struggling with trying to understand "Why me?" I took back control of my life and started saying, "It was me, now what am I going to do?" The answer is my book, "Why Me?" It is my childhood journey through the terrors of physical and mental abuse from first grade until the day I moved out. It is my way of letting the world know what was really going on behind closed doors. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tanya Eby.

    Long Man: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 651min
    From the critically acclaimed author of Bloodroot, a gripping, wondrously evocative novel of a family in turmoil, set against the backdrop of real-life historical event - the story of three days in the summer of 1936, as a government-built dam is about to flood an Appalachian town, and a little girl goes missing. A river called Long Man has coursed through East Tennessee from time immemorial, bringing sustenance to the people who farm along its banks and who trade among its small towns. But as Long Man opens, the Tennessee Valley Authority’s plans to dam the river and flood the town of Yuneetah for the sake of progress - to bring electricity and jobs to the region - are about to take effect. Just a few days remain before the river will rise, and most of the town has been evacuated. Among the holdouts is a young, headstrong mother, Annie Clyde Dodson, whose ancestors have lived for generations on her mountaintop farm; she’ll do anything to ensure that her three-year-old daughter, Gracie, will inherit the family’s land. But her husband wants to make a fresh start in Michigan, where he’s found work that will bring the family a more secure future. As the deadline looms, a storm as powerful as the emotions between them rages outside their door. Suddenly they realize that Gracie is nowhere to be found. Has the little girl simply wandered off into the rain? Or has she been taken by Amos, the mysterious drifter who has come back to Yuneetah, perhaps to save his hometown in a last, desperate act of violence? Suspenseful, visceral, gorgeously told, Long Man is a searing portrait of a tight-knit community brought together by change and crisis, and of one family facing a terrifying ticking clock. A novel set in history that resonates with our own times, it is a dazzling and unforgettable tour de force. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dale Dickey.

    My Guy on the 9th Floor: Radical Enlightenment, A Handbook for Leveling-Up Your Consciousness, Fulfillment, and Connection to Your Higher Self , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 218min
    It happened in an instant but the feeling lasted more than an hour. Wave after wave of glowing, humming energy coursed through me. I remember crying…or was it laughing? No, it was cry-laughing. Luckily, I was lying down because otherwise, I would have collapsed. It was like pure love and pure energy had been injected into my veins and was flooding every atom of my body. My eyes were closed, and I had a blackout-mask on, but I needed to squint because the white-hot light that shone behind my closed eyes was as bright as the noonday sun.I had been on a personal journey for a few years, looking for answers to something that I knew was there, but was just out of reach. The funny thing is, this was not the destination I had expected or even knew I was looking for. I think that was why I was laughing. The crying? That was because I had never felt more complete, more whole, or more "at home" at any other time in my life. This was the moment that I met my higher-self for the very first time.Radical Enlightenment: My Guy on the 9th Floor is a practical, step-by-step user’s guide on how to free yourself from the prison of our 3-dimensional world, expand into new dimensions of consciousness, and "hack" inner-peace to never again suffer a bad day. Interspersed with stories of my own experiences, this manual is a handbook and reference guide for thriving in our entangled, energetic, and interconnected world. A world we are all part of and intrinsically connected to, but a world that is just beyond our 3-dimensional perceptions. Built on a foundation of ancient wisdom and contemporary 21st-century science, Radical Enlightenment: My Guy on the 9th Floor delivers end-to-end insights, actions, ideas, and practices that anyone can employ on their own journey of expansion towards mastering their own energy, thriving in our messy, beautiful, tragic, and wonderful world, and connecting to their own personal interpretation of higher-self.Take wh ungekürzt.

    Space Girls Are Easy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 103min, (USK 18)
    Scout Lieutenant Shaydra den'Kurona was trying to escape the stifling responsibilities of her homeworld. But a quick stop on an out-of-the way planet brought her face-to-face with her own desires.Mark Paxton was stuck in a dead-end job in a small town. But one night a starship landed next to him. Now a sexy alien is living with him. One magic night he will find out that space girls are easy!~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~They didn’t quite fall into each others’ arms when the door to his bedroom closed behind them. It was more like a mutual tackle; fierce and almost violent. Shayla climbed him like a tree, her arms wrapping around his neck, and she kissed him, kissed him hard, her tongue forcing itself between his lips and searching his out. When they met, it was as if a jolt of electricity coursed through their paired bodies. He groaned, opening his mouth wide, his hands clutching the curves of her rear.“The bed,” he panted. “On the bed. If we keep this up, we’ll fall down, and I’ll be damned if I make love to you on a hardwood floor.”He staggered over to the bed and fell backwards onto it, cushioning her fall with his body. For a second she simply lay on his chest, enjoying the feel of his strong body under hers. But after a moment she slithered higher, then sat up on her heels. Catching his eye, she raised her hands to the shirt-cord, tied in a low knot just above her breasts. Moving slowly, she undid the knot, then pulled the cord out of the lace-holes, one at a time, until her shirt was hanging open, barely hiding her chest.As she teased him, he put his hands on her hips, his thumbs stroking the flat planes of her stomach. When the garment was finally undone, she slipped it off, eyes shining with pride as she watched his face change.His hand curved up her back, then settled bare inches away from her breast. She swallowed at the heat of his touch. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Aiden Black. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/127812/bk_acx0_127812_sample.mp3.

    Hot Sex With The Family Dog 3: Caught Mom Banging The Dog (eBook, ePUB)
    I never expected to catch mom in such a compromising position. Cheating on dad - with the family dog? That was sick. But what I made her do next was even sicker… Excerpt: I'll admit it. It was an unannounced visit. But that still didn't excuse mom's behavior. "Oh my God, Billy! What are you doing? You're not supposed to be here!" Mom looked up from the sofa. I swear to God that she had Roy's majestic, German Shepherd cock stuck right in her mouth. Mom looked frantic as she quickly pulled the dog's cock from between her lips. But it was too late. I'd seen everything. I stared, open-mouthed, at my mother for several minutes before advancing on her. Seeing her with a large, throbbing dog cock in her mouth made me unreasonably angry. And horny. "What...what are you doing?" She started to back up, but I grabbed her wrist. "I could ask you the same..." I growled. Mom was completely naked and for the first time I saw her large knockers hanging down lewdly. They were large and hefty and my cock jerked in my pants. "I...I..." She hung her head in shame. "Okay, I'll admit it. I've been having an affair with the dog." The words hung heavily in the air for several minutes before she followed them up. "You're not...gonna tell your father, are you?" Her voice quivered as a tear threatened to spill down her cheeks. I'll tell you what, mom looked so fucking sexy right then that I just wanted to wrap my arms around her and kiss her. My cock grew harder and more impatient in my pants. I had to make my move. "Maybe..." Mom's eyes flew open wide and she gasped. "But maybe not..." I reached out and fondled her hanging breasts. They were so soft and motherly that I couldn't believe they were real. "Oh son, please! Your father can't find out! This would ruin me." She sobbed, not bothering to stop me from molesting her boobies. "Say the words..." I brushed a tear from mom's face. Power coursed through me and I was going to take full advantage of the situation.

    Raped By The Pound Dogs (eBook, ePUB)
    "Help!" Dakota raced down the long corridor of the pound. Six large dogs bounded after the fleeing 18-year-old woman, hunting her like she was a frightened doe. If she could only get to the door, then she'd be safe. The dogs were close behind her, she could tell by their claws clicking on the cold floor, getting closer and closer. Their hot breath brushed against her smooth legs. No! Excerpt: "Help!" Dakota raced down the long corridor of the pound. Six large dogs bounded after the fleeing 18-year-old woman, hunting her like she was a frightened doe. If she could only get to the door, then she'd be safe. The dogs were close behind her, she could tell by their claws clicking on the cold floor, getting closer and closer. Their hot breath brushed against her smooth legs. No! Dakota pushed her complaining, burning legs faster. The door was within a few feet and she could taste her freedom. Suddenly, just as she reached for the handle, there was a sharp pain which streaked through her leg, toppling her to the floor. The air rushed from her lungs as all six dogs pounced on her. She screamed as terror coursed through her. They ripped her clothes off. Dakota couldn't escape now and she curled up in a fetal position. What did they want? She was too scared to think. "What should we do to her?" Killer, the Doberman, growled, gazing at the leader. "We are going to have fun with her!" Kahn, the Akita, barked a laugh. "Yeah!" The rest of the pack barked, wagging their tails. "Brutus. Demon. Fangs. Spider. Killer." Kahn called out their names. They snapped to attention. Brutus, the large Rottweiler, grabbed one of her arms. Demon, the Pit Bull, grabbed the other. Fangs, the big German Shepherd, and Spider the tall Great Dane grabbed her legs. "Drag her to the center of the hallway. Our prey shouldn't escape." Kahn smiled. "Drop her." Dakota looked up, her eyes so wide she thought they'd pop out and roll down the long corridor. Staring at the large dogs glaring hungrily at her, she shivered, knowing she was their prey, to do with as they wished. They ran their tongues over their lips as a different sort of hunger filled them, she knew not what it was. Why had they dropped her? She sprang to her feet as fear overtook her.

    Mentor
    Working with Ceiri Torjussen on the score for MENTOR: Among the challenges we faced as we began to envision a score for "Mentor" was that we felt strongly that the music needed to combine two very disparate emotions that coursed through the film: Carter's joy and excitement in his relationships with both Julia and Sanford and his early success as a writer, as well as a sense of unsettledness and foreboding about where those relationships were actually leading. Since most of the story is told in flashback, we felt that the music would also play an important role not only in delineating the past from the present, but also in supporting the notion that Carter's past, with Julia and Sanford, was actually more vibrant and alive than his present. Finally, as with any film, we wanted the music to help define the significant themes in the script and aid in the evolution of the characters and the story. When we began working with our composer, Ceiri Torjussen, he immediately came up with a variety of options that dealt head-on with these challenges. In our discussions with him, we decided that the score should have an ambient quality, and that it should, at the same time be unusual and distinctive. He capitalized on what we imagined were contradictory goals, in part through the use of specific instruments. He went out and purchased a variety of African thumb pianos, for example, which feature prominently in the score. He also decided to feature guitars, and brought on a phenomenal young guitarist, Andrew Synowiec, for whom he wrote terrific parts. For us, Ceiri's score was a spectacular success, helping to bring out subtleties of story, character and structure that supported and enhanced all of our efforts in writing, producing, and editing the film. -William Whitehurst (Writer/Producer, MENTOR) -Simeon Hutner (Editor/Co-Producer, MENTOR) ABOUT THE COMPOSER: Ceiri Torjussen's music was described by the Los Angeles Times as a "sudden bolt of creative lightning". Hailing from Wales but now based in Los Angeles, in the last few years, he has made a sudden but marked impact on the world of film music, with an enviable list of high-profile credits to his name. He has scored six feature films to date. In 2006 UNDOING, a noir-thriller, premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival, and MENTOR, starring Rutger Hauer, premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. Most recently he composed additional, heart-thumping action music for the 2007 blockbuster, LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD, starring Bruce Willis. His music demonstrates an expansive creative range and versatility, being at home in many arenas, including horror (DRACULA III: LEGACY, SOUL'S MIDNIGHT, and additional music for UNDERWORLD: EVOLUTION) and comedy (FUNKY MONKEY and additional music for SCARY MOVIE II). No stranger to television, he provided additional music for the WB TV show GLORY DAYS, the CBS network shows COLD CASE and CLOSE TO HOME, and for the series DEAD LIKE ME, on Showtime. Torjussen has also worked extensively in animation, composing music for high-profile animated shows such as NI HAO KAILAN (Nickelodeon), and for Mike Young Productions' MAX AND THE MECHANICALS, THE MR. MEN and DIVE OLLY DIVE for which he received a 2007 DAYTIME EMMY NOMINATION for Best Original Score. Torjussen has also orchestrated and conducted on numerous studio feature films such as THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW, I-ROBOT, HELLBOY, CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN, JOYRIDE, BLADE 2, WHEN A STRANGER CALLS, DRACULA 2000 and TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES. He is equally at home with the orchestra as he is with electronic music. His Wenallt Studios is fully equipped with 96-bit digital recording capabilities, state-of-the-art sound synthesis software, and an additional room dedicated to tracking live ensembles and vocals. He resides in Los Angeles.
