Broke: Poetry & Lyrics : Poetry Collection, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 84min
These poems were mostly written in 1987 while recovering in Clifton, Bristol, in England. It heralded the start of a huge change for me, and I felt broken. The love of my life had just come to a messy end, and I’d been hitting the LSD too hard. Things felt beyond my control, and I now had to learn how to wait out the wounds for the first time. I began to write, to compensate for the anxiety and emotional state that I was struggling with. Bullets of Madness I’m standing awaitingcaught in commotionas the voices call through a veilI hear them and fear themeven need rescuingthey make me aware of the nailthat drives through our senseswhen alone it commencesto obsess me in sweet delusionsthe nail it piercesmy heart as it fleecesthe last of courage from my mansionas I tasted the appleI quaked and my rattlefell out from my innocent handI learnt of your lessonsobeyed your deceptionsand was made to fit into your plansand now I can feelthe noise of the voidas the motion slows to a haltfeels like I’m dyingI’m scared of tryingto make sense just to please them allI was shot downas the black limousineslowed to a glistening haltthe devil climbed outhis gestures obscenemy fears all came bleeding outI knew he would laughas I fell to the groundhe had won the final boutshot with bullets of madnessor bullets of sadnessmy heart ached ‘til it wanted to stopI can’t understand youmy mind burns with fireI always just wished to belongalone is no homejust broken desireI’ve been shot down for being in love ungekürzt.

Surrender to the Nightmare: Dark Protector: Legacy of the Goddess, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 69min
In this contemporary new adult paranormal romance, author Morgana Patrick explores the lives and fantasies of two college freshmen just learning to live on their own, discovering just how "different" they are, and their mysterious dark protectors.... Anna's bags were packed and ready to go. She had the same hesitation all students had before they headed off to their first year of college. The nightmares of a dark and mysterious lover, waking her each night, leaving her trembling and desperately needing more, were one concern she felt sure most other new students didn't have to worry about hiding from their new roommates. She had no idea her roommate had more than one dark and delicious secret of her own. Starting college wasn't going to be the hardest thing Anna would have to take when she arrived at Saint George's University. "Hush", he said in a smooth low tone, its bass rumbling through her body like little waves. Anna instantly fell silent, her mouth still hanging open. "I don't have a lot of time. I'm not supposed to be here", he said. His eyes, were they brown, were they black? She couldn't really tell. They looked down at her so intently that she knew she couldn't look away. His hand came up to her chin and slowly pushed her mouth closed. His touch was deceitfully warm for the cold color of his complexion. His fingers opened and the palm of his hand slid across her face. Anna melted into his touch and her eyes fell closed. The rumbling started in his chest, she could hear it before his words even came out. "Anna, listen to me", he said as he drew his hand away. She ached for it the second it left her. She needed his touch. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kristy DeChamps.

Night Slashers: An Agnes McCall Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 328min
Daniel Montague has a secret. A secret so dark, so disturbing that he's pushed it to the back of his psyche and moved on. Unfortunately for him, it's itching to find the light. Down in New Orleans, Daniel finds solace in the winding waters of the Mississippi River. He's found a place that he can put his past behind him, a place that he can call home. He thinks he's finally found peace, but when his past comes knocking on his front door and the town erupts in a wave of brutal murders, he is forced to face a harsh reality. You can forget the past, but that doesn't mean it will forget you. Night Slashers, a gripping thriller riddled with twists, turns and the ultimate betrayal. Excerpt: The sound of water sloshing around echoed like a distant whisper. The wind whistled a muted lullaby as it blew through the trees. A soft gurgle grew louder and louder in Daniel's ears until he realized he wasn't dreaming. A slow, suffocating feeling burned his lungs, robbing him of air. Each breath he took was raspy and shallow like he was sucking through a broken straw. As he lazily opened his eyes, he spit out mud and wiped his face. His soaked t-shirt clung to his back, the other side was glued to him with mud. He was face down in a puddle of rainwater and his own vomit. Shivering, he rolled onto his side and curled into a ball. His head ached like it'd been slammed in between the trunk of a car. The constant pounding kept him from moving any further. His bones felt frozen and he was certain he was suffering from hypothermia. The cold wind breathed the smell of death over his face, sticking to his waterlogged skin. It reeked of spoiled milk and rotten fish. Daniel gagged as he sucked in the foul air. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Paul Woodson.

Lust in Space , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 56min, (USK 18)
Toman is in for the surprise of his life when he begins exploring a destroyed planet and discovers an amazingly gorgeous girl living alone in the colony's abandoned spaceship. But Iliana isn't quite what she seems. She might be an innocent virgin, but she's a skilled genetic engineer who's created an incredibly powerful aphrodisiac...and she can't wait to try it out on him! Great stars, she was gorgeous! So petite he'd initially mistaken her for a child, but now that he'd seen every luscious inch of her lush, ripe body...she was clearly no child. Her full breasts were gorgeous, her waist was amazingly narrow, and her gently curving hips issued an alluring invitation every time she moved. The soft curls between her thighs were captivating, hinting at the sweet untouched delights he ached right down to the bone to taste and plunder. She was totally innocent, though. He must keep remembering that! No matter how much he yearned to rip that seductive film off her quivering body and plunge deep inside her tight little core, he absolutely must keep his distance! She'd nearly run her hands over his surging length before he'd grabbed them and tugged them away. Surely she hadn't realized how provocative her innocent curiosity had been! If she'd actually touched him...no way could he have controlled his lustful desire! While her back was turned, he shifted uncomfortably on the couch, and tried to push his jutting shaft down so it wouldn't be so blatantly visible. As if mocking him, it thrust up even higher, and slick moisture began to spurt from its swollen crest. He wanted to groan with aching frustration. Iliana turned at that moment, and he jolted. If he yanked his hand away, it would be obvious that he'd been trying to hide his arousal. If he left his hand on his crotch, would she think he was some kind of lewd pervert? Or...if she was that totally innocent, would she even know what he was so desperately trying to hide? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Persephone Rose.

Where the Three Worlds Meet , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 57min
The seal's head bobbed quietly in the still water. It looked around at the brightly lit world around him. He had just surfaced for air after foraging for his food in the undersea world beneath him. He was a large Atlantic seal known as a gray seal. At eight feet in length and over eight pounds, he was surprisingly fast and agile.Wet, grey whiskers dripping from the salty sea protruded from his massive cow-like head. His home, St. Margaret’s Bay, is a quaint coastal bay with lots of islands, beaches, wildlife, and a history closely tied to the sea.Not far away from the seal, on a grassy shore, a shiny yellow kayak sat in the shade of a crab apple tree. It’s yellow color is obscured by dust and fallen leaves. It hadn’t moved since the day it was purchased a decade ago. Near its bow, if one looked carefully enough, the picture of a mermaid was painted. She had once adorned the bows of pirate ships, dangling proudly above the water. Today she was only barely noticeable.Back in the bay, guided by its large whiskers and amazing sense of smell, the seal hung suspended upside down in the clear water. Long strands of kelp swayed like snakes from the seabed around him. A lobster futilely attempted to back itself deeper and deeper into a crevice. However, it soon ended up in the jaws of the hungry seal. The seal seemed to be having a hard time moving today. It’s back throbbed painfully in the cold waters.One fall afternoon, an old man paddling by in his kayak noticed a boy named Shannon quietly sitting on the wharf. He had seen him before but had only waved as he paddled by. Today, however, the old man decided to do something different. Something he just had to do. His wide-brimmed hat sat low over his tanned features. His tired back ached. He pulled his kayak in alongside the dock, laid his paddle across his knees, and took a deep breath. ungekürzt.
