    The Knight's Chain (A Chained Gods Series Story): The Chained Gods Series, Book 1.5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 23min
    The Akita was massive, a fine example of the breed - with the single exception of his current physical state: skeletal, matted, and attached to a cement post by a thick logging chain. He refused to let those things bother him, however; they were mere nuisances, after all.What mattered most to him was that any of his captors - the men in black - who crossed his path would die. Simple as that. He was done with the torture, had enough of the domination; who were these men to treat him as a mongrel, a cur? Where was the respect he instinctively knew he’d earned and demanded in better days?His mind may have been jumbled, with memories of the past escaping him - but he knew one thing for sure: he was more than this beast on a chain. Knew he was born for greater things, knew he mattered somewhere; if only he could get back to wherever, whatever, whenever that was. For now, he would wait....The Knight’s Chain, a short story, precedes The Curse of Cur, and can be listened to before book two of The Chained Gods Series or after to flesh out the character of the knight. ungekürzt.

Elsie watched in horror, but remained firm in her place. Were the children sending her clues or taunting their mother? It couldn't be.

    Dead of Night: Hidden Faces, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 566min
    All words fell away. I pushed myself off the path, noticing for the first time the signs of earlier passage - the matted earth, broken twigs. And I knew. My mouth turned cottony. I licked my lips, took three halting steps. My maddening, visual brain churned out pictures of colorless faces on a cold slab - Debbie Lille, victim number one; Wanda Deminger, number three.... He'd been here. Dragged this one right where I now stumbled. I'd entered a crime scene, and I could not bear to see what lay at the end...." This is a story about evil. This is a story about God's power. A string of murders terrorizes citizens in the Redding, California, area. The serial killer is cunning, stealthy. Masked by day, unmasked by night.

Dread mounts. Who will be taken next? Under a crushing oppression, Annie and other Christians are driven to pray for God's intervention as they've never prayed before. With pause-resistant intensity, Dead of Night dares to pry open the mind of evil. Twisted actions can wreak havoc on earth, but the source of wickedness lies beyond this world. Annie learns where the real battle takes place - and that a Christian's authority through prayer is the ultimate, unyielding weapon. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gabrielle de Cuir.

    A Marked Woman , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 515min
    A Marked Woman is based on a true story of a husband's betrayal. It takes place in central Pennsylvania when Naomi Bryar awakens in a mental institution. Trapped behind closed doors, her attempt to escape fails. She fights back as attendants force a straitjacket over her head, pull her arms tight across her chest, and drag her to a padded cell.Exhausted, she lay helpless on the matted floor. Sobbing till her voice is but a whisper, she recalls her early years during the 1929 Depression, the happy times raising her two children in the Pennsylvania woods, and the difficulties World War II brought about during her 23 years of marriage.Naomi did her best to follow her religious up-bringing. There were many twists and turns during her 43 years of life, but what did she do so wrong that landed her here?"In Joan Foor's gripping novel A Marked Woman, we relive a time in recent history when a philandering husband could commit his wife to a life of torture, a time when misdiagnosis was rampant and straitjackets and shock therapy were accepted medical "treatments". We share a daughter and son's frustration, knowing the truth about their father's mistress yet unable to rescue their mother. The story grabs and does not let go, and the charming 1940s romance of the fated couple only makes the outcome more painful. A haunting, unforgettable must-read."

Longlisted for the Theakstons Old Peculiar Crime Novel of the Year. He was definitely dead, whoever he was. He wore a once-black jumper and a pair of shiny tracksuit bottoms. The back of his head was cracked and his hair matted, but it had been foxy before that. A tall man, a skinny rake, another string of piss, now departed. She hadn't gotten a look at his face before she flaked him with the Holy Stone, and she couldn't bring herself to turn him over. One messy murder affects the lives of five misfits who exist on the fringes of Ireland's postcrash society.

In seeking atonement for the murder and a multitude of other perceived sins, Maureen threatens to destroy everything her son has worked so hard for while her actions risk bringing the intertwined lives of the Irish underworld into the spotlight....

    The Life of the Buddha , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 965min
    This unique biography, told in a lively manner through six 'voices', presents the Buddha's revolutionary solution for humanity that lends to the end of ill will, craving and delusion. It goes back to the earliest sources of the Buddha's life and teachings, drawing as it does from the Pali Canon which was said to record the words that the Buddha spoke, the events that happened, and his specific teachings on which the world-wide religion was based. It is an absorbing, edifying and even entertaining collection of reportage, myths, wisdom, kindness, human insight - and decisiveness. For 45 years after his enlightenment he walked around North-Eastern India, encountering and teaching kings, courtesans, matted-hair ascetics, murderers, men and women on spiritual quests - and many ordinary people living ordinary lives in 5th century BCE, but who were grateful for his compassion and advice. Sometimes he teaches through rich metaphors. Sometimes he teaches through scientific analyses of mental states. In one tender moment, he helps his own son, Rahula, to gain enlightenment. The Buddha was not only clear about life, and how, and why, it should be lived, but endeavoured to create a practical framework that monks, nuns and laymen and laywomen could follow to 'disentangle the tangle' and reach enlightenment. Not a god or a divine, but a truly remarkable and fulfilled human being. Bhikkhu Ñanamoli's remarkable work - an innovative biography that has become a classic treasured by Buddhists of all traditions - speaks directly, giving us a flavour of what it was like to be around Siddhattha Gotama, the Buddha. Bhikkhu Ñanamoli (Osbert Moore) was born in England in 1905 and graduated from Exeter College, Oxford. In 1948 he came to Sri Lanka to be ordained as a monk. During his 11 years as a monk, he translated some of the most difficult texts of Theravada Buddhism. In The Life of the Buddha, however, he made the teachings acce ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Rain of Terror: A Blacklick Valley Mystery, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 549min
    The child ran through the dark forest, sobbing, breathless, oblivious to the driving rain that soaked his matted hair and plastered the flimsy shirt against his skin. Jagged streaks of lightning cut across the night sky, creating a stark backdrop for the swaying black oaks silhouetted above him. He ran, stumbled, fell, and ran again, heart pounding in his thin chest, the sound of his own blood roaring in his ears...driven not by reason or logic, but by basic primal instinct - the instinct to survive. A child vanishes on his way home from school as thunder rumbles in the western horizon. Another is abducted from his bedroom on a dark and storm-filled night. A young mother is murdered in her bed as lightning flashes across the Valley. Who will be next? And why? When the tranquil community of Blacklick Valley, tucked into the dark, pine-forested mountains of western Pennsylvania, explodes in murder and missing children and terror sweeps across the Valley, Sheriff Jed Tyler is faced with the most challenging case of his career. Who would steal away innocent children as if they never existed? Why do the violent thunderstorms that rip across these Pennsylvania mountains ignite a fury in the mind of the killer that fuels his madness? And...why target Blacklick Valley? In his quest, will Tyler discover the answer to a dark secret hidden deep in his past? Will newcomer Jenny McConnell capture his free-spirited heart or plunge him into greater danger? With time running out, will Tyler unmask the identity of this madman, untangle the web of mystery, before another victim is taken, another murdered? From fear-ridden Blacklick Valley to a diabolical satanic cult in the distant Sierra Nevadas, Tyler is swept across the country in his relentless determination to learn the fate of the kidnapped children as well as find resolution to the black abyss in his own soul. ungekürzt.
