    Listen to the Signal: Short Stories, Volume 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 280min
    Back when I started this project, I was thinking what the heck, writing a few short stories will keep me fresh, let me try things I might not try otherwise, act as a sketch book of my story ideas: the funny, the weird, the scary, the sappy, and sometimes all of that mashed up together. Well, two years later, I had no idea how proud I would be of this body of work, and how genuinely psyched I am to be sharing these stories with you in this format. Going through these again for production, I felt like a proud papa, gathering up all my little babies, or like I was collecting a bag of gems. Wow, I just wrote “bag of gems” in all seriousness, like it’s a totally everyday phrase, like I might find myself out on horseback in some medieval European country and have the need to reach into my little leather sack for a gem to purchase an entire village.   ungekürzt.

    2018 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2. GRAND CRU CLASSÉ PAUILLAC A.C.
    Femme fatale, femme phénoménale,… die Comtesse ist ein Wein der Superlative, der den edlen Genießer verführt und mit einem Höchstmaß an Frucht, Charakter und Länge um den Finger wickelt. Der Nachhall ist phänomenal und schwingt unendlich nach! Decanter: 99/100 Punkte »This has to be up there with one of the most seductive Comtesses on record with layers of alternating softness and concentration combined with a lot of 2016’s elegance and power. The nose on this stands out a mile, getting it right up on the podium before you even take a sip. Rich raspberries combine with peonies and curls of woodsmoke while the appellation’s signature slate, cedar, liquorice and tannic grip slowly builds up on the palate. I’ve tasted this several times with each conveying a juiciness and elegance that is quite different in style to many in Pauillac this year - it's a 98-100 for me, and I'm already looking forward to re-tasting it in bottle. 1% Petit Verdot completes the blend. 60% new oak used. 13% press wine. 3.75pH, 88IPT – higher even than the 80IPT in 2016. Drinking Window 2026 - 2040«  Wine Spectator: 97-100/100 Punkte  »This one nails it in 2018, with saturated, almost sappy kirsch, plum and blackberry preserve flavors at the core, inlaid with sweet tobacco, singed vanilla, worn cedar and fresh earth notes. A bolt of graphite provides support. Concentrated, long and very complete. One of the high water marks of the vintage.« James Suckling: 98-99/100 Punkte »A deep and intense young red with blackberries and blueberries, as well as green olives and hints of fresh tobacco. But really black fruit. Full-bodied, tight and integrated with a refreshing and harmonious finish. Just floating on the palate. Great tannin backbone to this. A classic. Another flying carpet.« Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 97-99/100 Punkte »The grand vin represents 50% of the crop this year. The 2018 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is made up of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot with a pH of 3.85, an IPT (total polyphenol index) of 87 and 14% alcohol. Very deep purple-black colored, it is like hitting a brick wall to begin, needing considerable coaxing to start to reveal notes of crushed black cherries, warm blackberries, ripe blackcurrants and chocolate cake with nuances of violets, rose hip tea, charcuterie, tapenade and incense with wafts of new leather and iron ore. Full-bodied, concentrated and completely laden with tightly wound black fruit and savory layers, the palate gives a rock-solid backbone of firm, super ripe, super fine-grained tannins and soft background freshness, finishing very long with a veritable display of mineral fireworks.« Wine Enthusiast: 96-98/100 Punkte  »Barrel Sample. Ripe and stylish, it is elegance personified and will be a very fine wine to age. Its structure and tannins are generous yet gently handled, giving density while preserving the bright dark fruit flavors.« Falstaff: 96/100 Punkte »Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart floral unterlegte schwarze Kirschfrucht, feines Cassis, ein Hauch von Orangenzesten. Saftig, komplex, extraktsüß, elegant, reife, tragende Tannine, feiner Nougat im Abgang, bleibt sehr gut haften, sicheres Reifepotenzial.«  Weinwisser: 19,5/20 »71 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 23 % Merlot, 5 % Cabernet Franc, 1 % Petit Verdot, 35 hl/ha, 60 % Grand Vin. Undurchsichtiges Purpur mit schwarzer Mitte und violettem Rand. Ein zartes Parfüm nach Wildkirschen und Veilchen sowie Nougatpralinen. Im zweiten Ansatz Lakritze, Cassis und Heidelbeeren. Am kräftigen Gaumen mit cremiger Textur, perfekt ausgereiften Tanninen und süssem Extrakt, unglaubliche Eleganz aufweisend, dann packt dieses Finessenpaket zu. Im katapultartigen, langanhaltenden Finale mit blauen Beeren, stützender Mineralik, Graphit, endet mit edlen Bitternoten, die dem Wein eine gewisse Arroganz verleihen. Ein grandioser Pauillac, der auch in diesem Jahr zum Besten in der Appellation gehört! Für Nicolas Glumineau ist der 2018er eine Kombination aus 1989, 2010 und 2016. Wird in der perfekten Genussreife die Maximalnote erreichen. Trinken 2028 bis 2056«  Vinum: 18/20 Punkte »Hat es verstanden, trotz der wuchtigen Art des Jahres seine Harmonie zu halten, herrlich sanftes und doch mundfüllendes Tannin, grosse Frische und Geschmeidigkeit trotz der Tiefe, fleischiger Ausklang; einmal mehr hervorragend. 2030 bis 2050«  Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.

    Inked Passions: A Love Struck Bad Boys Romance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 284min
    Biker and tattoo artist Cade Winters isn't much for weddings or other sappy celebrations. He prefers dive bars, his beloved bike, and fighting at underground clubs; the last of which lands him in the hospital after a sore loser attacks Cade in an alley. However, when his best friend Tommy asked Cade to be his best man, Cade didn't hesitate. Growing up without a family to call his own, Cade would do anything, even attend a wedding, for those he now considers his family. Uncharacteristically dressed up, his tattoos barely covered and shaggy beard neatly groomed, Cade meets Cindy; the maid of honor at Tommy's wedding. Cindy is the opposite of anything Cade has ever looked for in a woman, yet he finds himself falling helplessly in love with her. Determined to make Cindy his, Cade must not only win her over but also her controlling and disapproving parents, who will stop at nothing to convince their daughter that a shaggy tattoo artist is not the one for her. ungekürzt.

    The More the Merrier: A Naughty Nights Novella , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 186min
    This would be Lowen Westmon’s first Christimas since the passing of her father. She decides she'll make the most of it and spend her holiday with nothing more than sappy Christmas movies and a ton of alcohol to get her through it. However, her plans are derailed when the second half of her duplex cabin gets rented out for the next two weeks by three sexy men who are in town for an all-male, holiday strip show. At first, she's thrilled to have such hot man candy right next door. But between their loud music, incessant need to use all the hot water, and constant badgering for her to join in on the fun, Lowen might just lose her mind instead. That is, if she doesn't lose her heart to them first. Naughty Santas, blizzards, and one too many spiked egg nogs, are just a few of the things in store for Lowen on this holiday. But the question still stands: What will happen after Christmas is over? Recommended for ages 18+ for strong sexual situations and language. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Denise Black.

    Daddies Shouldn't Breakdance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 142min
    As the head writer for Shadowbox Live, a theater company in Columbus, Ohio, Jimmy Mak often mines his life for comedic material. Now, for the first time, he's compiled his thoughts on those silly, serious, and sappy moments in one place. Daddies Shouldn't Breakdance takes us on a highly entertaining tour of the high points in Mak's life: his first day on the planet (what kind of monster would give birth to a child two days before Christmas?), his exploits as a secret young superhero, his experiences as a father raising charming but rambunctious daughters, and more. Mak packs in the laughs but also makes room for solemn and poignant observations about the state of the world and the difficult times his own family has experienced. Mak's daughters, Riley and Roz, star not only in some of his stellar stories and sweet poems but also in their own section dedicated to their observations about life. Daddies Shouldn't Breakdance is perfect for the breakdancing fathers of the world who follow their dreams, even when those dreams are embarrassing and based on an obsessive knowledge of '80s dance movies! ungekürzt.

    Shafted: Cautionary Tales in Business , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 358min
    If you are looking for a relief from reality, a rose-colored view of the world, blithe inspiration, and sappy-happy endings, Shafted: Cautionary Tales in Business is not for you. Shafted will not put a tear on your cheek, restore your faith in human nature, or give you goosebumps of sweetness and light. They will, more likely, piss you off and make you angry for the rest of the day, if not the week.Shafted offers you the other side of the coin - unsweetened, dismayingly true stories from real life. Shafted takes off your rose-colored glasses and exposes the mean-spirited, greedy side of human behavior. Shafted is the antidote to Chicken Soup. The tales are not framed in a judgmental mode that bemoans the loss of high moral standards and golden rule ethics of yesteryear. Shafted just tells the stories straight up and true, and lets you come to your own conclusions.The premise of Shafted comes from the proverb, “Praemonitus, praemunitus,” or “Forewarned is forearmed.” But it probably goes back even further, to the earliest clans of homo sapiens of Eurasia, who were subject to the earliest iterations of human nature, which even then must have enabled those who were forewarned and forearmed to anticipate, survive, and prevail! ungekürzt.

    Mad About Men: A Menmoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 372min
    Mad About Men is: A (mostly) true, laugh-out-loud account of a successful executive single mother's search for love. "Racy, raw, sometimes vulgar, always hilarious," according to a guy in Chapter 32 who actually read it. An account of dating and sex from a liberated, confident, unapologetic MILF in her 40s. A warmly relatable story, even though it sounds like a sordid, lustful tale of promiscuity (which it also is, the author admits). Mad About Men is not: A self-help book about relationships. About a woman who finds herself after some extreme, soul-searching, incredible journey. A sticking-finger-in-throat sappy account of finding true love and living happily ever after. Only for women. Madelyn gains a new perspective on relationships after a series of major losses (some devastating, some not so much). Root for her as she entertains each potential suitor, and laugh with her (or at her) as she tries to make sense of what she wants, what men want, and what to do next. Whether or not you've ever swiped right, match'ed, or flirted with the flight attendant, you'll relate to Madelyn's search for love and (hot) sex - not necessarily in that order. Go ahead and judge her, she won't mind. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Madelyn Morgan. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/078628/bk_acx0_078628_sample.mp3.

    Undeniable: Undeniable, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 411min
    Warning: This is not a typical, sappy love story. This is an all-consuming, soul-crushing, tear-your-heart-into-pieces story. It's intense, gritty and raw, dark and disturbing, and it doesn't happen overnight. This is an epic love story that knows no boundaries and has no time limits. It grows and develops - with hurt, sacrifice, and heartache - over the span of a lifetime. Eva Fox is the princess of the Silver Demons Motorcycle Club. Growing up with the bikers in the club, this is the only lifestyle she knows. When she's a young girl, Eva meets the reason for her existence. Deuce West is the sexy biker bad-ass of the Hell's Horsemen Motorcycle Club. Like Eva, he was born and raised in the club - but that's where the similarities end. Their first meeting is innocent, but as Eva matures into a woman, their chance reunions evolve into a fit of lust and love. Fate continues to bring them together time and time again, but their twisted journey is filled with pain, betrayal, and bloodshed that could tear them apart. Eva sees in Deuce what he cannot see in himself - a man worthy of love - and Eva spends her lifetime proving to him that her undeniable love is the one thing he can't live without. This is Eva and Deuce's story. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tatiana Sokolov. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/tant/003161/bk_tant_003161_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
