    Only the Cat Knows (eBook, ePUB)
    A man infiltrates a tycoon's castle to find out who pushed his sister down a flight of stairs in this "enjoyable Gothic mystery that keeps you guessing" (Kirkus Reviews). Vance is an experienced female impersonator, so when his beloved twin sister, Vanessa, winds up in a coma after a suspicious fall, he has a unique way to investigate. Using her clothes and makeup-and his striking resemblance to his twin-he works his way into the remote castle of Vanessa's wealthy employer, along with a harem of other women. With help from a doctor, Vance poses as an amnesiac Vanessa and is able to fool everyone-with the exception of his sister's Angora cat. But will his masquerade be successful long enough for him to solve the mystery-before someone else tries to finish the job? "Diverting . . . will keep readers' attention." -Publishers Weekly "Marian Babson's name on a mystery is a guarantee of quality writing wrapped around an unusual crime." -Houston Chronicle

    Engines of Desire: Tales of Love & Other Horrors , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 630min
    Death and pleasure. Freud's Todestrieb, his statement that "libido has the task of making the destroying instinct innocuous, and it fulfils the task by diverting that instinct to a great extent outwards.... The instinct is then called the destructive instinct, the instinct for mastery, or the will to power." Few authors have spun stories of Thanatos and Eros as skillfully and powerfully as Livia Llewellyn. In his introduction to this volume, Laird Barron states, "Scant difference exists between exquisite pleasure and pain." An orphan girl with a mind for anthracite falls into the hands of a cult worshipping an entombed god. In the Pacific Northwest, evergreens lull prepubescent girls into their trunks to serve as wombs. A suburban housewife troubled by her present encounters the sixteen year-old girl she ached to touch in her dreams. These ten stories promise to indulge a listener's sensibilities, their fears and desires. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christy Lynn.

    Even and Odd
    A half-magic girl learns about heroism and taking action when she and her sister confront a wizard who endangers others for her own gain. Even and Odd are sisters who share magic. Lately, though, it seems like that's the only thing they have in common. Odd doesn't like magic, and Even practices it every chance she gets, dreaming of the day she'll be ready to be a hero. When the hidden border between the mundane world the sisters live in and the magical land they were born in shuts abruptly, the girls are trapped, unable to return home. With the help of a unicorn named Jeremy, they discover a wizard is diverting magic from the border to bolster her own power. Families are cut off from each other on both sides of the border, and an ecological disaster is brewing. But the wizard cares nothing for the calamitous effects her appropriation of magic is having. Someone has to do something to stop her, and Even realizes she can no longer wait until she's ready: she needs to be a hero now.
