The Book of Water: Healing, Regeneration and Recovery: The Elements Series, Volume 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1552min
In The Book of Water, award-winning astrologer Steven Forrest completes his epochal investigation of the four astrological elements. In this fourth volume of the series, he focuses on how people bounce back from hurt and tragedy. In the beginning, he invokes the haunting image of an old woman dancing on a moonlit beach. He writes, “Every line on the dancer’s face tells a story. Many of those stories are sad ones...and yet we are confronted with an inexplicable miracle: The old woman still dances. Of all of life’s mysteries, is there a deeper one? Not that terrible things happen, but that we dance, anyway. That we can recover. That spirit regenerates. Finding our way back to that dancer is what this book is about. Let’s meet the good medicine of the Water signs - the guardians of the sacred mysteries of healing, regeneration, and recovery.” In this audiobook, Forrest offers a detailed exploration of Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, along with their planetary rulers and their associated astrological houses: the fourth, the eighth, and the 12th. Together, these powerful words in astrology’s magical vocabulary are the key to returning to joy and wholeness, no matter what life throws at us. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Outlaws and Peace Officers: Memoirs of Crime and Punishment in the Old West , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 644min
The West's most prominent lawmen and criminals tell their stories of fight, death, and survival. In the romantic narrative of the Old West, two larger-than-life characters emerged as the perfect foils for each other - the rampant outlaw and the heroic peace officer. Without the villain, sheriffs would not have needed to uphold the law; and without the sheriff, villains would have had no law to break. Together, both personalities fought, lost, and triumphed amid shootouts, train robberies, and bank holdups against the backdrop of the lawless American frontier. This spectacular collection of true memoirs and autobiographies, told by the very people who lived these criminal and righteous lives during the Old West, reveal the outlaw and peace officer at their worst and best. Watch as Mark Twain introduces notorious gunslinger Jack Slade; hear about Theodore Roosevelt's encounters with men, women, and game from Roosevelt himself; listen to sheriff Pat Garrett's biography of Billy the Kid, the outlaw he killed; and listen as lawmen Bat Masterson and Wyatt Earp describe each other in their own accounts. Including other carefully curated stories by Tom Horn, Cole Younger, and more, Outlaws and Peace Officers invokes danger, honor, and the fight for survival during this perilous but exciting chapter in American history. ungekürzt.

Snare: The Falling Stars, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 663min
Sidra Campbell lives by a hump-him-and-dump-him rule. No love, no messy emotional strings, means no chance of losing control - again. She came to L.A. to support her cousin Liza, but she's also running from the vicious cycle she left behind in Pennsylvania. Unfortunately for her, two men aren't making life easy. One invokes the haunting nightmare of a past she's fought hard to be a survivor of, not a victim, and another is so tempting, so persuasive, she reinforces the wall around her heart and dons her mask to keep the behemoth out. To everyone else, she appears confident and happy, but inside, she's hiding the deepest pain. Xavier Stone, the former drummer to one of the greatest rock bands, Corrosive Velocity, has suffered loss after loss. Finding himself a full-time dad and in threat of losing once again, he's barely hanging on. There's one woman who creates a spark of interest so strong, he can't seem to keep his hands to himself. She hates him - at least, that's what the mask of insults and indifference she wears wants him to believe, but her kiss tells another story. Xavier has lost too much. She may not be happy about it and can run all she wants, but Xavier's done losing. When two explosive personalities collide, one runs and the other snares. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Lost Scrolls of the Holy Beclay: Lost Scrolls, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 245min
If you are reading this, then myself and my kind are long gone. And this book is most likely battered and torn and eroded from the dirt. I pray to Agodah (the creator of everything) that the words and meanings do not change because of translation and speculation or because this parchment is no longer whole or has been smudged in the sands of time. After discovering an ancient book that was frozen deep under the ice in Greenland, John and Sarah find themselves on a spectacular adventure. Bound together by fate, they are forced to solve a mystery that has been waiting for them for millennia. They soon find proof of an ancient civilization who lived here on Earth thousands of centuries before us. Searching for answers and finding only more questions, they realize that they just might be the only two people on the planet who can save mankind and the modern world from devastation and extinction. Throughout the Earth's history, it has been on a grand cycle of growth, cleansing and renewal, each era bringing new life and new beginnings to a new civilization. This is a fast-paced adventure that will captivate and intrigue you. You won’t want to put it down. It invokes vivid imagery as well as emotional connection to the characters, and it takes the listener on a grand adventure to save mankind. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Geoff Metcalf.

Portrait of an Eye (eBook, ePUB)
A collection of three early, self-published novels by the author of Empire of the Senseless. Beginning with The Childlike Life of the Black Tarantula in 1973, Kathy Acker set out on a brilliant journey toward the boundaries of modern fiction that has made her one of the most celebrated novelists of her generation. From the start, Kathy Acker created a brash and sexy female voice as shocking as the worlds she invokes. In Childlike Life she steps into the biography of a Mississippi murderess who falls in love with a famous lawyer. In I Dreamt I Was A Nymphomaniac she takes a man capable of deceiving both sexes as her lover in a dreamy odyssey through the labyrinth of her desires. In The Adult Life Toulouse Lautrec is a woman starved for love and sex. All of Acker's obsessions "the frenzy of sexual desire, the search for identity, the invention of a new literary language" are present here with savage purity and raw energy. Includes: The Childlike Life of the Black Tarantula by the Black Tarantula I Dreamt I Was a Nymphomaniac: Imagining The Adult Life of Toulouse Lautrec by Henri Toulouse Lautrec Praise for Kathy Acker and Portrait of an Eye "A countercultural hero who hybridized elements of punk, literary postmodernism, feminism, and critical theory in her public identity and in her literary works." -New Republic "For Kathy, the breakthrough was her first serial novel, The Childlike Life of the Black Tarantula... she lifts lines from old biographies of murderesses. She adopts their picaresque style and switches out I for she. And suddenly, she's off, and she can say anything." -Chris Kraus, Paris Review- Shop: buecher
