    Empire of Night: A Christopher Marlowe Cobb Thriller, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 744min
    In the first two books of his acclaimed Christopher Marlowe Cobb series, The Hot Country and The Star of Istanbul, Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Olen Butler captured the hearts of historical crime fiction fans with the artfulness of his World War I settings and his charismatic leading man, a Chicago journalist recruited by American intelligence. In The Empire of Night, it is 1915, and President Woodrow Wilson is still assessing the war's threat to the United States. After proving himself during the Lusitania mission, Kit is now a full-blown spy, working undercover in a castle on the Kentish coast owned by a suspected British government mole named Sir Albert Stockman. And Kit is again thrown together with a female spy - his own mother, the beautiful and mercurial Isabel Cobb, who also happens to be a world-famous stage actress. Starring in a touring production of Hamlet, Isabel's offstage role is to keep tabs on the supposed mole, an ardent fan of hers, while Kit tries to figure out Stockman's secret agenda. Following his mother and her escort from the relative safety of Britain into the lion's den of Berlin, Kit must remain in character, even under the very nose of the Kaiser. ungekürzt.

    Lies My Mother Told Me (eBook, ePUB)
    If you think Joan Rivers said funny, outrageous, and ridiculous things ONSTAGE, wait 'til you read the funny, outrageous, and ridiculous things she said OFFSTAGE…things that will make you laugh out loud…and keep Melissa in therapy for the foreseeable future.

This book contains some of those stories. ***************** "When Joan told a story, the truth disappeared faster than I did." - Jimmy Hoffa "If you thought Dante's Inferno was hot, read Lies My Mother Told Me; it's a five-alarmer." - Dante's second wife, Allie "Twelve of my twenty-six personalities loved this book." - Sybil "The words on the page absolutely crackle and spark; I burned my fingers reading it!" - Annie Sullivan "The Bible may be the good book, but Lies My Mother Told Me is way funnier." - Matthew 2:14 The Jets. 7 "Lies My Mother Told Me is the feel-good book of 2022." - Torquemada "All's not well that ends well. I've had massages with happier endings." - Wm. Shakespeare "Melissa, I don't care what your mother said in this book, I LOVE your bangs." - Mamie Eisenhower "Lies My Mother Told Me is so funny even those 'woke' m***********s will laugh." - Lenny Bruce

    Rethinking Reputation: How PR Trumps Marketing and Advertising in the New Media World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 445min
    Good public relations is no longer just icing - it's a strategic imperative more important to your competitive success than even advertising or marketing. This is true whether you're a century-old multibillion-dollar corporation or a penniless startup. In Rethinking Reputation, public relations guru Fraser Seitel and John Doorley, founder of the Academy for Communication Excellence and Leadership at Johnson & Johnson, examine a fascinating new set of case studies - including the BP oil spill and the launch of CitySlips - to glean the PR dos and don’ts for the new media world, covering both standard reputation maintenance and crisis management. They also show start-up companies and entrenched organizations how to use the power of word-of-mouth to jump-start business like never before. This is a wake-up call from two industry legends - for public relations professionals as well as entrepreneurs, CEOs, and anyone else tasked with representing their organization to the world. These new media lessons include: Remember that research is cheaper, and more critical, than ever. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good - launch your idea before someone else does. Don't get so excited about social media that you forget about traditional media. In a crisis, you are never offstage. Never lie, never whine, and never try to predict the future! ungekürzt.

    American Legends: The Life of Michael Jackson , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 97min
    pGuinness Book of World Records, overnight they called me a freak. They called me a homosexual. They called me a child molester. They said I bleached my skin. They made everything to turn the public against me." (Michael Jackson) In the majority of cases, a pop or rock fan who is asked about a particular celebrity will answer in unambiguous terms. Artists such as Elvis Presley engage the public in their entirety, their personae fully revealed as onstage and offstage personalities. Most artists are judged by what they say of themselves and their art, and fans can express in distinct terms why they like or do not like them or their music. Michael Jackson, on the other hand, projected a different sort of fascination to the global public, based upon his many contradictions and hidden characteristics. The unorthodox artist was described by one author as "paradoxical and incomplete", and while audiences attended a Presley event to revel in a known quantity, Jackson's charisma depended in part on the audience's need "to understand, or fill in the knowledge that was missing". If anything the mystical, half-revealed Jackson was as strong an attraction as his more forceful and renowned colleagues, for by the end of his career he was "arguably the most notable popular culture virtuoso of the late 20th century" and had set almost every record known to his industry, all in an age that featured not only Presley but The Beatles, Barbara Streisand, and other superstars. ungekürzt.

    Dedicated: A Rhythm of Love Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 539min
    “Our greatest hit is a love song I wrote for my bandmate. And he has no idea.”Messy-haired, soulful-eyed, off-kilter lyricist Les Graves holds tight to the hedonist’s credo of consumption in every avenue of life. He has trouble staying still, trouble staying sober, trouble turning down a good time - but put a pen in his hand, and he’ll set a page on fire.Music was Evan Porter’s ticket out of the backwater mud puddle he was born in, the passion keeping him warm as he busked on street corners. Every chord, every song, every ounce of sweat has been devoted to making Porter & Graves a success. He’s the level-head, the quiet maestro, the seatbelt that keeps Les from flying too far out of control. And he’s getting pretty tired of playing savior.Their onstage chemistry is electric, offstage it's… complicated.After Porter & Graves’s third album bombs, the pressure is on for the duo to redeem themselves with their fourth. While sequestered in an East Tennessee cabin to compose, things take a turn for the worse when an event from their past comes back to haunt them in an embarrassingly public fashion and forces them into an unusual position that tests a partnership already hanging by its bloody roots.Can Evan and Les find harmony or will they - and their music career - go down in flames?Dedicated, the first standalone in the Rhythm of Love series, is a steamy, bisexual friends-to-lovers romance featuring semi-kinda forced proximity, a fake relationship, angst, snark, a cock-blocking greenhouse, really poor decisions involving social media, and a HEA guarantee. ungekürzt.
