    A Private Life of Michael Foot , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 625min
    The late Michael Foot, once leader of the Labour party, lives on as a major figure in British political history, although he is best remembered as a fiery and eloquent standard-bearer for socialist beliefs and policies. But what of the man behind the politics? In this new biography, Carl Rollyson chronicles the intricacies and intimacies of the life Michael Foot led away from the public eye. Fashioned from transcripts of more than 200 conversations between author and subject that took place during three years Rollyson spent researching the life of Foot's wife, Jill Craigie, this book presents a portrait that contrasts starkly with Foot's public image. In the manner of Boswell, Rollyson presents us with a man who-for all his public oratory-in private often found himself lost for words. A Private Life of Michael Foot adopts a no holds barred approach to biography, leaving a political figure stripped bare, and revealing a deeply complex, introverted man for all to see. ungekürzt.

    Only I Can Hear , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 34min
    A collection of poetry. Only I Hear. Only I hear the air kisses and giggles I missed When I was too busy marking off my checklist Only I hear the words he might have said As my father fought for life on his death bed Only I hear time laughing as it slips away Adding wrinkles and gray hair into the fray Only I hear my sorrows as they gather around Their cries and moans create the saddest sound Only I hear the moments I threw away like trash Because I didn't understand or was too rash Only I hear the things I wished I could redo I would cherish the time I hurried through I would stop and listen to my babies coos and cries I would linger over conversations, hugs and sighs I would stop and smell the flowers and fresh air I would accept my failings and loose every care So the next time I think I'm the only one who hears I won't be ashamed to expose my heart or show my tears ungekürzt.

    Vendetta , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 773min
    Betrayal. Murder. Revenge. Just another day in medieval Italy. The year is 1377. Angelo Anchioni has served in the Hospitaller Order for fourteen years. Determination, diligence and skill have made him a squire, but he remains unaware of the evil that those closest to him have within them. Returning home after a long absence, he finds his beloved family has been savagely murdered by the fickle decree of Bernabo Visconti, the lord of Milan and one of the most powerful men in Europe. Enraged, Anchioni sets out on a reckless quest through the deadly and dangerous landscape of 14th century Italy. As Anchioni and his fellow squire, Stuart Heton, become embroiled in the simmering feud between Visconti and the ruthless English mercenary, Sir John Hawkwood, the young men discover they are ill-equipped to survive for long in a land torn asunder by conflict. Anchioni must pursue vengeance and thus forfeit all he holds dear, or he must become a willing pawn in a violent struggle that may very well redefine the balance of power throughout Christendom. ungekürzt.

    The Gatehouse: Lady Eleanor Mysteries, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 499min
    A deaf aristocrat fights to protect all he loves from a killer he cannot hear Moments before the wedding, Christopher Sterry finds the groom, his twin brother, murdered. One would expect Christopher to become the next Earl of Longford. No one would be surprised if he married his twin's almost-bride, Helen Grove. She is, after all, his closest friend and confidante. Except Christopher is deaf in an inflexible world that believes a deaf mute is no better than a barbaric half-wit, unfit to be an earl and quite capable of murdering his brother. Helen waits at the altar while her groom lies murdered in the folly. But there is no time to mourn. Christopher is in danger and so, it appears, is she. Born to marry the earl of Longford, whoever that may be, Helen ignores her own risks and crosses into the line of fire to protect the man who holds her heart. Lady Eleanor solves crimes more thoroughly than any male magistrate. So when Christopher, her godson, is condemned without evidence, she sets out to prove both his innocence and his competence as earl. If she fails, Christopher will die...or be returned to an asylum worse than hell. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mary Sarah Agliotta.

    Asian Shorts: Short Stories About Asia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 229min
    Asian Shorts came about because of a sequence of events on one weekend in May 2015. A friend was telling me that he had several short stories with Asia as a backdrop, I was saying that I had a few as well, another friend sent me an email that he wanted to write a short on Pattaya, and one of my Thai cousins sent me her latest photo, the one on the cover of this book. It was like somebody was trying to tell me something, or several were anyway. The 19 stories by nine authors in this anthology were sent to me in one month, but are as varied as their writers. The stipulation was that Asia or an Asian had to feature strongly in the story. We have stories featuring Cambodia, China, Laos, Malaysia, Pakistan, Thailand, the USA, and Vietnam, by Asian and non-Asian authors who live in or come from Britain, Malaysia, Thailand, the USA, and Vietnam. Some of these writers are well-known as writers, some are better known in other spheres, some have written a lot before and been published in the traditional sense, others are traveling the indie publishing path and for yet others this is the very first time they or you will have seen their stories in print of any kind. ungekürzt.
