    See Me, See Me Not : Gavert City, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 401min
    For fans of Criminal Minds....The second standalone novel in the YA romantic suspense Gavert City series. Six years ago, Tessa Gardner’s sister, Mellie, disappeared. Despite lingering guilt and the never-ending desire to find her, 17-year-old Tessa works hard to keep it together. Her grades are decent, and thanks to her part-time job, she can help pay her family’s bills. But when her childhood crush, 17-year-old Luke Simon, rolls back into her small Texan town, he threatens to topple the delicate balance she created. She’s drawn to him — and the way he makes her smile. He’s the only one who seems to understand her, but he’s got a dark past of his own. Even the fake psychic who swears Mellie is still alive tells Tessa that Luke will cause her pain. Luke Simon knows a thing or two about guilt. He moved in with his uncle to escape his past, but memories threaten to eat him alive. He does what he can to keep his anger in check — quieting his thoughts by making out with one meaningless girl after the next. Tessa, and her long legs and her hard-earned smiles and her kindness is the only girl who’s ever mattered. She’s the one untainted memory he has from his childhood and he could talk to her for hours. He could do anything with her for hours. But the truth about his past might send her running. Or worse. While Tessa and Luke try their hardest to live in the present, their pasts lurk in the shadows, more intertwined than they could imagine. And it may be too late to save Tessa's sister — and themselves.  ungekürzt.

    Kilimanjaro Diaries: Or, How I Spent a Week Dreaming of Toilets, Drinking Crappy Water, and Making Bad Jokes While Having the Time of My Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 407min
    When expat blogger and mother of four Eva Melusine Thieme first harbors the idea of ringing out her three years in Africa on the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, it sounds easy. In fact, it has all the trappings of a dream vacation: no cooking, no fighting kids, and an army of porters to lug everything up the mountain. What can go wrong? Tag along as Eva takes you on her journey up the slopes of Kilimanjaro together with her teenage son and a group of hilarious South African friends. From planning the trip to shopping for supplies to trudging uphill wishing with all her heart for an ice cold sip of water untainted by chlorination tablets, you will follow her step by step on her quest to scale the world's highest free-standing mountain. But the list of challenges is long: sub-zero temperatures, blistered feet, long drop toilets (of which, you may learn, the drops are not nearly as long as they had once been, if you get the drift), and the ever-threatening altitude sickness no one can quite escape from. Eva's climb turns into the most difficult test she has ever faced, and ultimately she must make a fateful decision on that mountain. Thieme's debut travel memoir is equally poignant and laugh-out-loud funny. Part guide book, part travel memoir, and part history lesson, her story will keep you hooked - whether you're a seasoned hiker nodding your head in recognition, an aspiring Kilimanjaro trekker searching for tips, or an armchair traveler reveling in adventure stories from the comfort of your home. ungekürzt.

    Appomattox: Victory, Defeat, and Freedom at the End of the Civil War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 611min
    Lee's surrender to Grant at Appomattox Court House evokes a highly gratifying image in the popular mind - it was, many believe, a moment that transcended politics, a moment of healing, a moment of patriotism untainted by ideology. But as Elizabeth Varon reveals in this vividly narrated history, this rosy image conceals a seething debate over precisely what the surrender meant and what kind of nation would emerge from war. The combatants in that debate included the iconic Lee and Grant, but they also included a cast of characters previously overlooked, who brought their own understanding of the war's causes, consequences, and meaning. In Appomattox, Varon deftly captures the events swirling around that well remembered - but not well understood - moment when the Civil War ended. She expertly depicts the final battles in Virginia, when Grant's troops surrounded Lee's half-starved army, the meeting of the generals at the McLean House, and the shocked reaction as news of the surrender spread like an electric charge throughout the nation. But as Varon shows, the ink had hardly dried before both sides launched a bitter debate over the meaning of the war. For Grant, and for most in the North, the Union victory was one of right over wrong, a vindication of free society; for many African Americans, the surrender marked the dawn of freedom itself. Lee, in contrast, believed that the Union victory was one of might over right: The vast impersonal Northern war machine had worn down a valorous and unbowed South. Lee was committed to peace, but committed, too, to the restoration of the South's political power within the Union and the perpetuation of white supremacy. Lee's vision of the war resonated broadly among Confederates and conservative northerners, and inspired Southern resistance to reconstruction. Did America's best days lie in the past or in the future? For Lee, it was the past, the era of the founding generation. For Grant, it was the future, represented ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Boy Who Walked a Way , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 313min
    In the year 2162, a young boy named Jal Valhyn is caught in a maelstrom of violence and conflict. His country is at war and the world government based on humanistic principles that had fulfilled its promise of a halcyon peace for over a century has fallen. Alone and helpless, he has an encounter with an invisible being that leads to a seven-day journey. With his two appointed companions he sets out for a safe haven far from the world of danger and turmoil. Each day's trek brings the gift of new friendships and a growing awareness that life has dimensions grounded in more than the material. He intuitively understands the faith that sustains the inhabitants of an enduring peaceable kingdom. The Boy Who Walked a Way is a touching literary fantasy novel by Nancy Janes about the true power of belief. Representing the child inside all of us that neither age nor time can eradicate, young Jal is a perfect personification to the untainted and wholehearted faith and belief in miracles that the innocence of childhood provides. With Bea and Sammie as correlating characters who impact Jal's present and future, the two companions teach him the importance of using his troubles as an asset in developing a sense of mastery over his circumstances and in turn give listeners a glimpse into the importance of trust in yourself and the personal conquering of adversity. With a deep and gentle meaning that is born of violent circumstances, The Boy Who Walked a Way is a rare young adult novel that appeals to both genders equally. Though born of Christian roots, this profound story is a perfect fit for listeners of all backgrounds and faiths that truly inspires with its touching journey of self-discovery, belief, and personal mastery. With a rich and detailed world that has descended into out-of-control chaos, this grand novel is an epic, touching fantasy that will inspire and entertain for years to come. ungekürzt.

    Dead Butterflies (A Journey of The Forsaken, #1) (eBook, ePUB)
    From Lacee Hightower comes a new serial killer dark romance novel! My God, my forgiving God, why have you deserted this man who is so loving, so caring, and so generous? Why have you abandoned, betrayed, destroyed, and left him broken, bitter, and riddled with guilt? Grant mercy to this beautiful, tormented soul. Release him from this resentment and vengeance. Free his heart to love again. Forgive his sins of blood and lead him from the pathway of the forsaken. This connection between us was instant, eerily so. He set my body on fire, devoured me with his dark pleasures, and led me into a chilling territory of evil wrongdoings and burning passion. He had the power to seduce me, control me, and chew up my heart and spit it right back out at my feet without an ounce of remorse. I should have loathed Derek Kinnard and his vile, unforgivable, forbidden acts. Thoughts of any future with this vengeful man were preposterous, unethical, and against everything I'd ever believed in. When he claimed that we were nothing more than an insurmountable disaster, I should have run and never looked back. But I couldn't stay away. He was my addiction. He triggered parts of me that I'd kept locked and hidden, and taught me a whole new side to passion, love, and life. When the two of us were together, we were driven by our need and my heart didn't seem to care about what he'd done in the past. True love is taking the good with the bad, the darkness with the light, the dirty with the untainted, and never forsaking those who mean the most. The more Derek Kinnard tells me to walk away, the more I seem to persevere. Some risks are worth taking, and some secrets simply worth keeping hidden… REVIEWS: "This story grabs from the very first paragraph and refuses to let you go until the last words." Devlin Wylde "Ohh, Lacee ... that was a journey! Story-wise, it's basically perfection. Fantastic characters, brilliant plot with some surprises throughout." K. Sanders "This story is a terrifying look into the dark heart of a serial killer. Fantastic!" D. Appleby "Girl, you nailed it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was hooked by the prologue. The sex was hot of course, but I was more interested in how they would work out their differences." G. Churm

    Stellar Fire
    Stellar Fire has become a track title on another album. This album has been deleted due to technical issues. If these can be overcome it may be re-released one day, but until then most of the tracks are on Silk Stone and Silver Wood anyway. I've left the old description below just in case you (or me) needed to read it:)... While planet rock was erupting from the riffs, rock and roll of the 1960s, the music for this suite was being jammed in coal sheds in Yorkshire and the Streets of Paris. Bands were scraped together from among friends and battered used equipment. Talent mattered first, to survive where audiences could enjoy destruction as much as entertainment. With roots tangled across both sides of a meandering track, these songs draw inspiration from rock, blues and classical lore. They are untainted by tuition or formality and have easy, friendly vocals. With a guitar style born of 60s and 70s rock/blues, they were recorded and produced in a back bedroom, using Audacity software... The Aviator riff draws you into a refreshing yet familiar world. With Irish roots, it's beat nods and stomps, as a story based in the living lore of rock-pop from the 70s fires your imagination. The battered Fender Stratocaster guitar of Rory Gallagher is an adulated icon of rock and blues. Tribute is paid here both lyrically and tonally to the aching wonder that Leo Fender released to the public in 1954 - the year that Alex Oliver, the album's composer, was born. As he wrests the sound of singing winds and crying beasts from his own guitar, Alex calmly leads us through the song like an eminent sage. It's like we are sitting round a glowing fire. Good story teller that he is, you can feel the thunderbird rising as the tale unfolds. It is as if an alien has arrived - the feeling people got when the guitar was first electrified. May the dust never settle on your dreams. Comparing the guitar to a gamut of heroic devices (hence aviator), Aviator celebrates everything we love about our musical heritage, as it slid sensationally from blues through 60s pop to rock. It is anthemic and driving...it will compel air guitarists and dancers alike to enjoy it to the full. One (Stellar Fire) Then, as the ariel moan of a biplane sustains sweet memories of the mad biker that is aviator, we are swiftly introduced to a guitar fanfare announcing a softer mood. With lyrics taken from Celtic, Gael and Manx myths (with a bit of Patrick Moore thrown in), One - Stellar Fire is not what you'd immediately guess to be a love song. Giving us the album title, this tale speaks of how forces beyond human reckoning enrich our lives and loves. An unashamed tenderness is evident in the conversations that two guitars enjoy in the intro, softly swished along on cymbals. The Hispano-Irish anthem then moves along with the rhythm, which is wrought purely from an acoustic guitar. Peruvian influence can be traced in the vocal harmonies that are eased along with bright arpeggios. The lyric of One tells us that love which comes to us is a gift of the universe, and maybe we should learn to live with it and not fight it. ...where two riders meet, in the skies over love... Whilst we contemplate the somewhat deep opening lyric for such an airy piece, an Appalachian guitar solo echoes as if played in woodlands. It stirs primeval spirits that move softly, yet unstoppably through every cell of our being. Then with a joyous, almost Christmassy feel, a violin technique on the guitar takes the riff towards a concluding verse. The cosmic undertone in this lyric enforces the album's theme, telling of stars that hide from the day... 1960s pop music influences the design this piece, which now runs to the close with a sustained uplifting chant, riding on the chorus. A gentle fade brings closure, not to one, but two tracks. Distant guitars emulate the image of the vocal line - love is like a comet flight. They finally recede into silence, allowing an important moment of contemplation between tracks. Son of The Night Having effortlessly flowed from rock and blues to pop, the mood suddenly changes. Son of the Night comes in through a door we did not know existed. At first, we feel continuity as Tibetan chants and mountain horns instil a quiet inner mood - like a soft conclusion to the work. You can almost feel the pull of distant planets, as your mind floats into Himalayan serenity. Then the drums, bass and guitar release their fury into the mythical calm. It is as if the powers of meditation have suddenly cracked a cosmic whip - brought you back to the here and now, in the entity of an album that reads like a painted cave. Son of the Night flies like a dragon through dark Tolkeinesque skies. It is the beast of human consciousness, telling us with an inner voice about how much we have achieved - and deceived for ourselves. Ranging from the right to wander wherever we like on this and other planets, to the fact that we barely understand ourselves, this song's lyrics enjoy a pure, unadulterated rock foundation. It is a driven thing - with vigour Vivaldi might use. An unexpected tumultuous end to the album, this is a vehicle for the free voice of the electric guitar, to soar in ways that release and inspire us. From the coarse driven rhythm to the sweeter, haunting lead guitars, we are allowed to experience extremes of emotion. The chaos of the first break sorts itself into patterns we barely understand, creating melody from a myriad notes, showering like sparks from a blade. It's Eastern mystery and promise settle the unrest, just long enough for us to hear the next part of the saga. 'Illuminated views across eternal rivers gleam', it sings, taunting the cowardice our forefathers and some latter-day leaders have shown. Fear of the truth is not just the domain of the wrong-doer, people are often mislead by their good intentions. A second guitar solo is one of the composer's favourite traits. They allow his music to go to higher plains of enjoyment, enforcing the mood of a lyric or riff. The second break in Son of the Night follows a breathy moment of spiritual realisation, where suddenly we can see our potential and our soul screams for it to be realised. This time the guitar has an orgiastic resolve, the sweetness of on old lover revisiting our bosom, the excitement of a new one... Just as the album started with an old familiar feel - like you'd known it all your life - so too it seems it might leave us with a refrain as familiar as our favourite t-shirt. But in the last moment, conscious perhaps that we can be forgetful, an a capella line shouts and hisses vengeance, like something escaped from a horror movie. With that, the album is gone from our speakers, gone from our headphones - gone from the air we breath, yet it remains with us like the feeling we get as we leave a cinema... ...Inspired by heroes, thrilled by beauty, invincible, strong, yet philanthropic. Thanks to Stellar Fire, now we can all feel like super heroes.
