    At the turn of the century, there were many orphans, due in part to the fact that abortion was illegal, so women who had been indiscriminate or had other issues gave their children to the Catholics to raise in an orphanage. The nuns were good to the children, and the children enjoyed three wholesome meals each day, wore clean clothes, and slept in warm beds with 60 other boys in a dormitory. But when the good nuns had to deal with 500 boys, there was no time for love. I'll Love You Tomorrow follows Buddy Quinn and his search for how love might feel. It is a heartwarming story that explores sexual abuse when encountered by Buddy and how he dealt with his own sexuality. The subject is handled with all due respect that should be accorded the subject without addressing it, but addressing it by loving parents is essential in a society that has gone viral on the entire subject of child porn, child sexual abuse, slaves, and other unspeakable vulgarities that are being forced on sensitive children. ungekürzt.

    Destroyer finds Zed saying goodbye to one friend and pressing forward with two new ones to whom we are introduced in Book 2 - Infected. Mandi, whom Zed and Murphy rescued from the bunker, is immune to the virus. Russell, whose home the others plundered in search of food and other supplies, is also a slow burn, but lower-functioning, childlike, and docile. After seeing the carnage at the dormitory, a raging, vengeful Zed wants only to kill Mark, his nemesis and the former leader of the ROTC squad. Since Mark has disappeared, Zed unleashes his fury on untold numbers of infected in his path as he makes his way back to the hospital, in an attempt to rescue Steph, a nurse whom he befriended while seeking help for the feverish Murphy shortly after the prison riot. But the brave medical staff, holed up on the 10th floor of the hospital, and running out of provisions, has decided to take matters in hand by exposing themselves to the virus and shooting those who "turn".

    Former pop star Heather Wells has settled nicely into her new life as assistant dorm director at New York College -- a career that does not require her to drape her size 12 body in embarrassingly skimpy outfits. She can even cope (sort of) with her rocker ex-boyfriend's upcoming nuptials, which the press has dubbed The Celebrity Wedding of the Decade. But she's definitely having a hard time dealing with the situation in the dormitory kitchen, where a cheerleader has lost her head on the first day of the semester. (Actually, her head is accounted for; it's her torso that's AWOL.) Surrounded by hysterical students, and with her ex-con father on her doorstep and her ex-love bombarding her with unwanted phone calls, Heather welcomes the opportunity to play detective...again. If it gets her mind off her personal problems -- and teams her up again with the gorgeous P.I. who owns the brownstone where she lives -- it's all good. But the murder trail is leading the average-sized amateur investigator into a shadowy world. And if she doesn't watch her step, Heather will soon be singing her swan song! ungekürzt.

    In this conclusion of the Magic University series, Kyle begins his senior year full of doubt. For his junior thesis, he made a new translation of an ancient prophecy he believed to be about himself and his true love. Now other people are starting to believe it, too, as the signs of the Burning Days seem to be everywhere: people losing their magic, odd storms, and earthquakes. But although Kyle has many loving friends and eager acquaintances, he has no true love in sight. The only person in Kyle's heart is Frost, and the last time they laid eyes on each other, Frost punched Kyle in the face and teleported him halfway across Cambridge. Kyle begins to hope, though, when Frost moves back into the dormitory, and it appears they'll even be in a class together. A poetry class. Maybe Frost will start to thaw after all. That would be a good thing, since if the prophecy speaks true, the world will end if Kyle doesn't find true love. Our hero will need love to save the world, his friends, and himself from losing magic forever. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Radford.

    It was December 2011 when the body of Cadet Nicholas Argento was found lying facedown in the snow at the foot of his dormitory. Was his death the result of an accident, suicide, or murder? With the backdrop of the US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, investigators Captain Samantha Rodamsky, representing the academy's Office of Special Investigation, and Detectives Zach Fields and Mindy Reynolds from the El Paso sheriff's office are led through a series of twists and turns before they are able to uncover the cause of Cadet Argento's death. To complicate matters even further, there are political implications, since the victim was the son of Mario Argento, a prominent US senator from California. A turning point in the investigation occurs when Detective Fields is secretly given a diary written 45 years earlier by Cadet Anthony Alexander. This diary details four years in the life of Cadet Alexander. It deals with not only the rigorous physical and mental challenges but also his struggle to follow the honor code, which stated, "We shall not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate among us those who does". ungekürzt.

    Life is reasonably rosy for plus-size ex-pop star turned assistant dormitory director and sometime sleuth Heather Wells. Her freeloading ex-con dad is finally moving out. She still yearns for her hot landlord, Cooper Cartwright, but her relationship with "rebound beau", vigorous vegan math professor Tad Tocco, is more than satisfactory. Best of all, nobody has died lately in Death Dorm, the aptly nicknamed student residence that Heather assistant directs. Of course every silver lining ultimately has some black cloud attached. And when the latest murdered corpse to clutter up her jurisdiction turns out to be her exceedingly unlovable boss, Heather finds herself on the short list of prime suspects - along with the rabble-rousing boyfriend of her high-strung student assistant and an indecently handsome young campus minister who's been accused of taking liberties with certain girls choir members. With fame beckoning her back into show business (as the star of a new kids' show!), it's a really bad time to get wrapped up in another homicide. Plus Tad's been working himself up to ask her a Big Question, which Heather's not sure she has an answer for. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sandy Rustin.

    Jack McClure lost his daughter. Now it's his job to make sure the president-elect doesn't lose his. For eight years, America has been led by a president hell-bent on aggressive foreign policy and rebuilding the nation on Christian values. A new administration is on its way in, but the president has a few power moves left to see his legacy solidified. Moderate conservative Edward Carson is taking the reins, hoping to set America on a new course. But weeks before Inauguration Day, Carson's daughter, Alli, goes missing from her college dormitory. Jack McClure is an ATF agent who recently lost his daughter in a terrible accident...and Jack's daughter was Alli's roommate. When the president-elect chooses him to lead the search for the first daughter, Jack approaches the quest fiercely. The investigation leads him onto the path of a dangerous and calculating man - someone whose actions are as cold as they are intelligent, a man whose reach is seemingly infinite.

And Jack will soon discover that this man has affected his life in more ways than he ever realized. Language: English. Narrator: Mr. Richard Ferrone.
