She's been fending off golf-ball-size bugs on the sweltering tropical island and having her patience tested by an irritable production crew and the fierce contestants who will do anything to get their prince. But Jaine never expected murder to enter the script. When one of the finalists dies in a freak accident, it's clear someone wanted the woman out of the race for good - and the police won't allow a soul off the island until they seize the culprit.

    Audible Technology Review, September 2014, Hörbuch, Digital, 70min
    In this Special Issue, Technology Review’s 35 Innovators Under 35. All 35 of these people are doing exciting work that could shape their fields for decades. But they’re solving problems in remarkably different ways. We consider some of them to be primarily Inventors; they're immersed in building new technologies. Others we call Visionaries, because they're showing how technologies could be put to new or better uses. Humanitarians are using technology to expand opportunities or inform public policy. Pioneers are doing fundamental work that will spawn future innovations; such breakthroughs will be taken up by tomorrow’s Entrepreneurs, people who are building new tech businesses. Everyone on the list was nominated either by the public or by MIT Technology Review’s editors. Some got our attention when they were picked by our international publishing partners as Innovators Under 35 for their regions. After our editors pared the roughly 500 nominees to 80 finalists, outside judges rated the originality and impact, or potential impact, of their work; those scores guided the editors as they crafted the list.

    Publishing: A Writer's Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 273min
    Publishing is a personal story of a writer's hunger to be published, the pursuit of that goal, and then the long haul - for Gail Godwin, 45 years of being a published writer and all that goes with it. A student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1958, Godwin met with Knopf scouts who came to campus every spring in search of new talent. Though her five pages of Windy Peaks were turned down and the novel never completed, she would go on to publish two story collections and 14 novels, three of which were National Book Award finalists, five of which were New York Times best sellers. Publishing reflects on the influence of her mother's writing hopes and accomplishments, and recalls Godwin's experiences with teachers Kurt Vonnegut and Robert Coover at the Iowa Writers' Workshop; with John Hawkins, her literary agent for five decades; with John Irving and other luminaries; and with her editors and publishers. Recollecting her long and storied career, Godwin maps the publishing industry over the last 50 years, a time of great upheaval and ingenuity. There have been memoirs about writing and memoirs about being an editor, but there is no other book quite like Publishing for aspiring writers and book lovers everywhere. ungekürzt.

    Moonmallow Smoothie , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 100min
    In May 2006, BBC Audiobooks ran a competition to search for the "Young Voice of Bath". Twelve finalists attended workshops held by Lorelei King and Simon Shepherd, and later auditioned for the chance to feature in the recording of an audiobook. Fighting off strong competition, Andrew Dennis impressed the judges with his energetic style and thoughtful characterisations, and became the overall winner. Here, Andrew reads Moonmallow Smoothie by Philip Wooderson. Moonmallow Smoothie is a story about Sam and his struggle to help his dad save his Ice Cream Parlour, which is steadily going bankrupt, thanks to competition from Karbunkle's mega-emporiums. Mum's getting fed up with Dad's dreams of making money, and moves out. Sam longs for Dad's luck to change when, suddenly one night, a large meteorite comes thumping down into their garden. But it isn't any old meteorite; this one has super freezing qualities, which make it perfect for making ice-cream. Everyone loves Dad's fab new recipe, and a famous hotel even asks him to make a special batch in the shape of a poodle for a rock star's party. But Dad's old enemies are determined to spoil his success. Sam sniffs a rat, but can he act in time and save the day? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andrew Dennis.
