    Selene's Awakening , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 72min, (USK 18)
    Take a gorgeous, Canadian alpha male, who's fled the rat race and moved to the woods, and add an equally gorgeous, but spoiled, British woman with an attitude and buried submissive tendencies and what do you have? World War III? Love? Maybe a little of both? Disillusioned with the world and all its civilised gadgetry, David Wolf moves to the wilds of Western Canada's forests. Selene Jordan, one of the rich and infamous, is from the UK. She has it all and isn't afraid to show it off, or berate anyone who doesn't have as much. Selene is vacationing in Canada and manages to run her pretty blue sports car into a ditch, and knock herself out in the process. David finds and rescues her, much to his chagrin later. She tries ordering him around and refuses to do anything to help herself or make his life easier. Yet, David keeps his calm. After all, she's not going anywhere, and he's got a plan. Will Selene learn to pull her own weight? Or will David have to teach her a lesson in proper guest etiquette? Sparks fly and emotions run hot as these two vie for the alpha position. A position that only one of them really wants. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kaz Augustin. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/totl/000044/bk_totl_000044_sample.mp3.

    A Ghostly Murder: A Riverside Lodge and Kennel Cozy Mystery, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 100min
    Is the Riverside Lodge and Kennel cursed? Daphne Coleman, an expert in Greek and Roman mythology and a first-class skeptic, thinks it's just a charade. But when a publicity stunt turns deadly at the Riverside Lodge and Kennel, everyone is getting the heebie-jeebies. And, once again, all are suspects in a murder. To drum up business for the still faltering Lodge, new owner Jason Henning (and Daphne's long-time crush) has brought in a ghost hunting team to investigate the "haunted" areas of the building, with an unusual combination of high tech gadgetry and plan old-fashioned psychic know-how. He's even invited a local investigative reporter for credibility (and free publicity). But a brief power outage in the middle of the night's event kills the lights unexpectedly - and more. Renown psychic Diana Swanson is found dead in the middle of the séance circle. And suddenly the Lodge has a real publicity problem. Once again, Daphne puts her own analytical and creative powers to work as she digs into motives and methods, with zero encouragement from hot shot detective Hector Rine, who's hard at work on the case. Will Daphne's idea for a "spiritual cleansing" by the local pastor put any ghosts to rest? Or just create more havoc? And just who is the murderer? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: June Skye.

    The Laws of Simplicity: Design, Technology, Business, LifeDesign, Technology, Business, Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 164min
    Finally, we are learning that simplicity equals sanity. We’re rebelling against technology that’s too complicated, DVD players with too many menus, and software accompanied by 75-megabyte “read me” manuals. The iPod’s clean gadgetry has made simplicity hip. But sometimes we find ourselves caught up in the simplicity paradox: we want something that’s simple and easy to use, but also does all the complex things we might ever want it to do. In The Laws of Simplicity, John Maeda offers ten laws for balancing simplicity and complexity in business, technology, and design - guidelines for needing less and actually getting more. Maeda - a professor in MIT’s Media Lab and a world-renowned graphic designer - explores the question of how we can redefine the notion of “improved” so that it doesn’t always mean something more, something added on. Maeda’s first law of simplicity is reduce. It’s not necessarily beneficial to add technology features just because we can. And the features that we do have must be organized (Law 2) in a sensible hierarchy so users aren’t distracted by features and functions they don’t need. But simplicity is not less just for the sake of less. Skip ahead to Law 9: “failure: Some things can never be made simple.” Maeda’s concise guide to simplicity in the digital age shows us how this idea can be a cornerstone of organizations and their products - how it can drive both business and technology. We can learn to simplify without sacrificing comfort and meaning, and we can achieve the balance described in Law 10. This law, which Maeda calls “the one,” tells us: “Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious, and adding the meaningful.” ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nick Podehl.

    Barbican: A Sterling McQueen Spy Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 503min
    Sterling McQueen is a different kind of spy. He lives off the grid and below the radar. No computer. No cell phone. No fancy gadgets. Nothing that would allow his enemies to track him. He lives by his wits and the tradecraft he learned from the greatest of a lost generation of spies.  Instead of cyber hacks and geosynchronous satellite tracking, McQueen's world is one of dead drops, concealment devices, and black-bag jobs. In a world of Big Brother watching our every move, Sterling McQueen is invisible. He works for a super-secret intelligence agency, the Strategic Support Branch. The SSB relies primarily on the nearly lost art of human intelligence. They cultivate assets abroad to burrow deep down inside the organizations that pose the biggest threat to the US. What was old is now new again, and Sterling McQueen's special set of skills are once again in high demand. Super computers and stealth drones are no longer enough to keep the world safe. The world now needs Sterling McQueen. Let's face it, most works in the spy genre these days rely far too much on gadgetry and over-the-top stunts that only happen in the movies. Isn't it time someone returned to the vintage spy novel?  Barbican is a political thriller in the mold of the old spy classics. Our hero, Sterling McQueen, shuns modern technology in favor of the more reliable standbys of human intelligence and his own keen power of deduction. This is a mystery/thriller filled with intrigue, layered with nuance, and peppered with more twists and turns than an Alpine highway. Hostages are being snatched all across Europe. They come from different countries and different backgrounds, but they all have two traits in common: They're Jewish, and they're rich. German intelligence is close to solving the mystery when an asset - a professor of Middle Eastern studies - is kidnapped in Brussels. Sterling McQueen is dispatched by the Strategic Support Branch (SSB) in the US to assist ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Phil Valentine.

    Laura's Evolution (eBook, ePUB)
    Laura's Evolution by JG-Leathers Laura's desire for total subjugation runs deep, and when she meets Master Bernard, she believes she's found the man she's always dreamed of and slave life she desires. The two marry and begin their life together in a luxurious house that's discreetly located on 50 private acres, behind a high surrounding wall. Though they experience the usual up and downs of a new marriage, Laura settles in well to her unique lifestyle as her husband's submissive. However, toward the end of the second year, a decision is made to fit her with a full range of purpose-designed bondage 'jewellery' and custom-made restraints. Though excited to see her bondage fantasies fully realized, she has no clue that nearly all of the elaborate decorations her master orders cannot be removed! With specific plans in mind, Master Bernard takes Laura's transformation slowly: a physical exam, dental impressions, repeated piercings, even surgery to remove her floating ribs in order to better accommodate the strict corsetry he envisions. The experience is deeply arousing, though it's troubling too. She's dreamed of such extremes since puberty, but she has no idea how far her master plans to take their mutual fantasy, until it's too late to change her mind. She's fitted with a collar, ankle and wrist cuffs, and bands around her arms and legs. More restraints and odd devices follow as her subjugation becomes more intense and more invasive. She can barely even move! Soon she's living in a locked cell far from her husband's bed, where every physical requirement is taken care of by the master's elaborate gadgetry, including her sexual release. As the weeks go by, she sees little of the man she married and far more of the governess he hired to attend to her physical needs. With so little outside stimulation and no access to the natural world her days and weeks just blend into one. And still, she has yet to learn the ultimate truth of her incarceration and her master's plan for his future and hers. Another bondage masterpiece by JG-Leather, filled with the graphic details of Laura's systematic descent into extreme bondage. Includes high-tech body and dental restraints, body modification, strict corsetry, multiple piercings, dildos, feeding tubes, hobbling, orgasm control, physical exams, heavy exercise and humiliation.
