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.

Fight like a Man: A Post Apocalyptic Thriller: The SHTF Series, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 379min
As a prepper, Grayson Rowan was prepared for almost anything. ...anything other than being totally alone when the sh*t hits the fan. While he sat back and watched the United States rattle swords with Korea, play chicken with Russia, and strong-arm China, he felt sure if the lights went out that he and his family would be ready and safe - whether it was due to a natural disaster or a man-made event. They had everything they needed at their homestead. What he wasn't prepared for was his family not being home if it ever happened. Olivia Rowan is with her sisters, Gabby and Emma, on a girls-only trip to Myrtle Beach. When chaos erupts and there's no gas, their journey home is a nightmare, filled with predators and danger - and apparently, Olivia hadn't learned a thing her husband tried to teach her. When your neighbors run out of water and turn on each other, what will you do? Jake, a country boy mechanic, never believed in TEOTWAWKI, but he'd heard his brother-in-law preach about it many times. He knew what to do, but he didn't prepare. He lazily left it all up to Grayson - he was the prepper after all. When catastrophe strikes, will he continue to keep his head stuck in the sand while his clueless neighbors destroy each other, and his wife is stuck out on the road, or will he stand up and fight like a man? And if you're alone? Bug in or bug out? Graysie Rowan, a freshman at university, just wants to go home. When no word comes from the government, and the state capital is overrun with looters, chaos, and mayhem, the college administration puts the students on lockdown. But her dad, Grayson, had prepared her for this. Now, if she can only remember what it was he said to do.... If they want to survive this post-apocalyptic event, they'll all have to learn to fight like a man. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kevin Pierce.

Do You Have a Champion Team with a Champion Leader?: The Business Essentials Series, Hörbuch, Digital, 47min
Developing a loyal championship team that is willing to stand in the heat for you, win for you, follow you and rejoice with you is the result of directed, well-placed and guided intention and training. It doesn’t just happen. In fact look at a disjointed group of selfish employees who lazily hang about a workplace, trying to get away with producing as little as possible, and I’ll show you a team that lacks direction and leadership. This module is all about developing that champion team that will deliver, that will withstand difficulties for the sake of the business and for you. It’s no joke that your team is only as strong as its weakest link. Have a look at the ones on your team who are underperforming. This is how strong you are - or aren’t. In this module we will look at the five traits of a champion leader and evaluate the best ways in which you can adopt them so they become a daily part of your routines. We evaluate the best ways in which to apply these characteristics to your business and how to reap the results. The five traits of a champion leader. These five characteristics of a champion can be applied within businesses in two ways: as a standard against which leaders must be measured and as a standard against which all potential team members are measured and held accountable. 1. Commitment. leaders need to know how to gain commitment to a compelling vision and the strategies that are used to achieve it. This also includes investing the time and energy in creating that compelling vision and strategies and having the courage to ask for help in achieving it. This comes from leaders who know how to communicate in a way that influences their team members in a positive way. It’s a way of communicating that shows how each individual team member benefits when the organization fulfills its vision and strategy, gaining buy-in from all. 2. Humility. Leaders must lead by example in setting the expectation of c Language: English. Narrator: John L Millar. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/mplt/000009/bk_mplt_000009_sample.mp3.

Waking Up to Anal Sex! (The Virgin College Girl's First Sex Experience) (If I Can't Have Your Virginity, I'm Taking Your Ass) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 21min, (USK 18)
I thought it was a dream! There was a handsome man running his hands over my body, and it felt incredible. It was my very first time with a man, and I was upset when the alarm clock woke me up. That's when I discovered I wasn't really dreaming! There really was a man right there in bed with me, and I don't know why I couldn't resist him, but I couldn't. I told him I was a virgin and I wanted to stay that way, and he didn't mind. He just took my virgin ass instead! It was my first sexual experience ever, and it was first anal sex. What a way to be welcomed to college!Warning: This audiobook contains very explicit descriptions of sexual activity during a first anal sex encounter. It includes virgin sex, stranger sex, rough sex, first anal sex, deep throat, and forced semen swallowing. It is intended for mature readers who will not be offended by graphic depictions of sex acts between consenting adults.Here is a preview:She'd never even seen a boy's dick, unless you counted the time that Tommy tried to flash her at the Prom. She'd only allowed two boys to kiss her, and one boy got his hand on her breast briefly before she swatted it away. But right then, the feeling of this god touching her was amazing. She heard a buzzing that started out soft and grew louder and she realized that the alarm clock was waking her up. Still, the dream persisted, and she was thankful for that luscious state between sleep and wakefulness as the dream continued. Eventually, though, the buzzing got to be too strong and she reached out lazily with her hand to turn off the alarm.She only got about halfway there before her hand came in contact with a man's arm. Her eyes flew open and she turned around. There was a man of maybe five or six years older than her and he was naked and she was naked and they were on her bed, and it was his hand touching her breast, his hand between her legs. She looked at his muscular body and gasped. She had no idea who this was ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jennifer Saucedo.

Night's Last Tomorrow
Review by Mick Mercer: 'The Night's Last Tomorrow' As satisfying as last year's darkly compelling 'A Southern Tale' this album relaxes in some comfort. Sinnis has achieved a type of decisive bleakness here which means he can do it almost softly, as the Gothic and Country influences melt lazily or hazily together. Where 'A Southern Tale' seemed a closeted collection, as though recorded indoors secretively, trying to keep something out and thoughts locked in, this album seems bathed in cool light, as though recorded outdoors. Never maudlin, while definitely moving on from glass-half-empty to gargling-poison-dismissively, it takes dark moods and lightens the load while you listen. 'The Night's Last Tomorrow' is a wonderfully drippy thing, the delicate balance seemingly suspended from the steel guitar, as quality lyrics also hover, Sinnis' vocals quivering somewhat but sticking to the point in a masterful display. It lulls you completely, because in another style it could be deeply depressing but here it's a curiously blissful opener. In the troubled '15 Miles To Hell's Gate' he's like a swashbuckling son of Johnny Cash, swaying and crooning dramatically, then we move towards an almost laconic 'Your Past May Come Back To Haunt Me' which unrolls a soothing red carpet beneath twisted, suspicious lyrics all demurely wrapped in a smartly delineated arrangement that harnesses past styles and modern attitudes, allowing menace to mellow. 'Fallible Friend' could just as easily go with some mariachi, or frisky acoustic, but it's a plain and simple song instead, moving at a steady grim pace, like a crotchety Clint Eastwood whittling his own wooden leg. Time slows, it's that stately. 'Follow the Line' is easier on the ear, lilting musically while the vocals threaten to tip over the edge, which is almost out of character in this setting. An unexpected and dignified cover of 'Nine While Nine' also works very well with a refined delivery. We slide down a creepy chute during 'The Fever' with some queasy imagery, then skate warily over a playful lake of doubt in 'Skeletons' with it's cunning use of organ. 'Scars' is odd, like an old Simon & Garfunkel melody squashed flat, a fridge over befuddled slaughter, and the traditional 'St. James Infirmary' is very strange as well, as befits a song so old the original creator isn't positively known. This is a melodramatic piece of doom, where the words clash with the properly agonised mood. The protagonist's love is dead, in the mortuary (I assume) and he's proudly proclaiming, 'she'll never find another man like me.' Well, how gallant, unless I'm missing something? We touch down again on a softly sentimental 'Out of Reach', and perk up during the fabulous 'Quiet Change' which has a rising commercial tug about it, and then during a brilliant 'Gloomy Sunday' you get to see what Sinnis can do when cooped up with an unlikely task, like Roy Orbison walking down subterranean corridors, alone in the dark. Rewriting a well known song he tinkers with certain lines and while he changes the end for what must have been a personal need, at one point he actually improves a line completely and there's not many people can do that, which may explain why on his website lyrics are referred to defiantly as poetry. 'In Harmony' will confuse as the churchy feel professes a quiet relief that death is approaching, as a friend, in catchy surroundings, then it all dies slowly away for good with the suitably sensitive 'When the Light Blinds and You Follow' A remarkably assured album this, and in many ways it must be quite funny for him, considering his punky past. I bet half his relatives are thinking, 'he was bound to come to his senses eventually.' Mature, melodic and at times as restful as it is haunting, this is really quite superb and as he's releasing an album ever year you wonder when he'll peak, because this is still just the ascent.- Shop: odax

Many Voices
I feel like I was caught between centuries. Those who were my teachers in the 1950's were themselves influenced by educators from the mid nineteenth century. Here I was in 5th grade leaning how to take cover under my desk in the event of a nuclear attack, while my teacher was born before the advent of the automobile. Events were turning over so rapidly. Change was riding a tsunami of technology that would forever change the landscape of civilization. I never quite got on board. I preferred my Grandfather's approach. While Rome was burning and decent men like Martin Luther King Jr and the Kennedys were being killed by the militant arm of the Oligarchy, he would take me out to the countryside to sit for a spell, listen to the American Songbook, and lazily throw stones into a meandering stream. I came to appreciate the natural world around me and decided someday I too would create music. The drone like buzzing of worker bees, the gentle whirring, flapping of a hummingbird's tiny wings, the squawk of the blue jays, the wind whispering through the trees, I heard music everywhere away from city strife. Last Summer I brought my student Yamaha 6 string (I love the antique sound), a couple of old Horner harmonicas, a little bread, a little wine, and a corner of cheese, up to the forest and cliffs of Mount Tom State Reservation in Western Massachusetts. Here at the 1200' level I could simultaneously view majestic hawks and eagles soaring far above sun drenched clouds, yet still see the buildings of Springfield and Hartford far in the distance. At this time I was intent upon listening to life's Many Voices.- Shop: odax
