The Witch of Maple Park is compelling fiction inspired by a true story.

Mallory's Manly Methods (eBook, ePUB)

Kevin Mallory is so good at lying he has convinced himself he has an almost average life. He tries to use his exceptional skill at prevarication to hang onto his job without doing any work, win the love of his co-worker without recognizing who she really is, take advantage of the young Black man who moves in next door, and manipulate the police and the courts into accepting his warped idea of justice Mallory pursues his co-worker, Nell, even as his supervisor at the UniCast Cable Company attempts to prove he is cutting off customers' calls. He joins Nell's dysfunctional Employee Cheer Committee as it tries to avoid disaster at the upcoming holiday party. He agrees to cat sit for Nell while she goes on a series of girls' nights out. He buys a rifle for protection from imaginary hoodlums but cannot get the box of bullets open. When Thomas, his neighbor, is assaulted by the police, Mallory impersonates a lawyer and represents him. When he is later criminally charged himself, he summons Nell as a witness, brings his rifle to court, and parks in a handicapped parking spot. "An exceedingly kooky protagonist drives this touching, silly adventure." - Kirkus Reviews.

Nixon's Back Channel to Moscow: Confidential Diplomacy and Detente (Studies In Conflict Diplomacy Peace) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 777min

Most Americans consider détente, the reduction of tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union, to be among the Nixon administration's most significant foreign policy successes. The diplomatic back channel that national security advisor Henry Kissinger established with Soviet ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin, became the most important method of achieving this thaw in the Cold War. Kissinger praised back channels for preventing leaks, streamlining communications, and circumventing what he perceived to be the US State Department's unresponsive and self-interested bureaucracy. Nixon and Kissinger's methods however, were widely criticized by State Department officials left out of the loop, and by an American press and public weary of executive branch prevarication and secrecy. Richard A. Moss's penetrating study documents and analyzes US-Soviet back channels from Nixon's inauguration, through what has widely been heralded as the apex of détente, the May 1972 Moscow Summit. He traces the evolution of confidential-channel diplomacy and examines major flashpoints, including the 1970 crisis over Cienfuegos, Cuba, the Strategic Arms Limitations Talks (SALT), US dealings with China, deescalating tensions in Berlin, and the Vietnam War. Moss argues that while the back channels improved US-Soviet relations in the short term, the Nixon-Kissinger methods provided a poor foundation for lasting policy.

Jason and the Golden Fleece: The Argonautica , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 377min

Jason and the Golden Fleece is one of the finest tales of Ancient Greece, an epic journey of adventure and trial standing beside similar stories of Perseus, Theseus and the Labours of Heracles. The finest classic account comes from Apollonius of Rhodes, the Greek poet of the 3rd century BCE and librarian at Alexandria. Though less well-known than Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, and much shorter, it is an epic poem which is both exciting and moving, with remarkably vivid portraits of the main characters, Jason and Medea. In the hands of Apollonius, these are far from one-dimensional figures of ancient myth. Jason is a very human hero, forced to undertake the quest by a vengeful ruler, and though he leads a ship full of heroes - Heracles, Peleus, Caster and Polydeuces among them - he has moments of doubt and prevarication which he has to overcome in order to ultimately grasp the Golden Fleece. And Medea, a virgin witch possessing consummate skill with spells and an ability to be cruel, is shown here with some sympathy, for she is under the sway of the immortals Hera and Athena. Succumbing to their machinations and Eros's arrow, she finds herself on a dangerous path, flouting the will of her powerful father Aeetes, King of the Colchians, to help the Argonauts. And then there is the ship itself, Argo, wrought with the help of Athena to survive the challenges of a distant voyage past Scylla and Charybdis into the Black Sea. Apollonius weaves plot and poetry, courage and boldness, tenderness and sympathy, to fashion one of the greatest monuments of Western literature. R. C. Seaton's classic translation has been considerably revised for this recording by Nicolas Soames, and it is read with verve by Jonathan Keeble. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonathan Keeble.

Obama's Deadliest Cover-Up: They All Have Blood on Their Hands , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 979min

Obama’s Deadliest Cover-Up goes beyond the official narrative of the 2010 Upper Big Branch (UBB) Mine disaster to disclose the dark truth. In this daring exposé, Don Blankenship reveals how far the government will go to keep its dirty secrets, even if it means disparaging deceased miners and sending innocent Americans to prison. Using government documents, witness testimony, and science, Blankenship pieces together the Obama-Biden administration’s responsibility for the explosion. Blankenship explains how the government used prevarication, lies, and document destruction to bury the truth. Blankenship calls the American media "Pinocchio" and backs it up. Blankenship presents compelling proof that America’s elite, America’s media, and America’s DOJ hid the UBB truth and says, “They all have blood on their hands.” An unflinching look at corruption in America, Obama’s Deadliest Cover-Up issues a dire warning: Our government will do anything to “get what it wants.Don Blankenship was “born into a poor house, dined at the White House, and spent time in the big house.” Blankenship grew up in Central Appalachia, worked as a teenage coal miner, and became CEO of Massey Energy Company, a then publicly traded Fortune 600 company. Blankenship was sent to Taft federal prison for a misdemeanor following an explosion at a Massey Energy coal mine in which 29 miners died. Blankenship was the only misdemeanant at Taft where he served ten months with 2400 felons. US Magistrate Judge Omar J. Aboulhosn recommended that Blankenship's conviction should be thrown out because the prosecution withheld favorable evidence that could have exonerated Blankenship. Even so, nefarious US District Judge Irene Berger upheld the wrongful conviction and is now denying Blankenship a “certificate of appeal.” Blankenship ran for a seat in the US Senate in 2018 and was leading in the polls before Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and President Dona ungekürzt.

Liar Liar: Short Stories by Members of the Liar's Club , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 598min

Liar [ˈlī(-ə)r] (n): 1. A person who tells lies. 2. A writer. “Lying is essential to good storytelling. Daily, we writers sit at our computers - or legal tablets or Underwoods - and write down a bunch of untruths, piling one on top of the other, page after paltering page. We compound them, massage them, edit them, spin them, cut-and-paste them, until we’re satisfied that, despite how outlandish or otherworldly these lies are, you, the reader, will swallow them. “In that, we’re like politicians. Except that we’re spared the hassle of running for elected office.” (Sandra Brown) In this gripping new audio collection you’ll find 15 tales of deceit and deception, perjury and prevarication, falsehoods and fibs, spun by some of the finest liars in the business: Keith R.
