Sissy Feminization - Controlling His Life (Volume 2) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 93min, (USK 18)
James nervously fastened the pink straps on his high heels and blinked as his sissy persona stared back at him in the full-length mirror. Within minutes, his wife was going to parade him across the Beach Beauty Contest, showing off the feminized and emasculated husband. James watched nervously as his wife submitted the completed form at the front desk. The curious cross dresser had been caught red-handed in his wife's underwear, and she'd been eager to parade him in front of their new neighbors, smiling as she watched him sweat in his maid's outfit. The once-confident husband had been transformed overnight into an obedient sissy maid, tending to his wife's every need. Kathryn pulled James into the lingerie shop, coercing him to try on various outfits as his alter-persona sissy, and when the dominant wife stumbled across a Beach Beauty Contest, she leaped at the chance to enter the highly anticipated weekend contest. The late evening Saturday beach contest was the state's biggest, presented in front of crowds of thousands and various photographers scattered across the audience capturing the beauty on display. James's sissy persona Jennifer is stretched far beyond any limits he ever imagined as his cruel and dominant wife showcases her sissy in the skimpiest and most revealing outfit to the thirsty crowd. This 15,000 word short contains explicit scenes and should be enjoyed by adults only. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Concha di Pastoro.

The City When It Rains , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 523min
On a rainy night in New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen, a woman throws a doll from the fifth-floor window of a gutted tenement, then leaps herself. From his own apartment a few blocks away, freelance photographer David Corman listens to the radio reports as they come over his headset. Corman is a man at the edge, threatened with eviction, besieged by his wife’s attempt to regain custody of their daughter, yet reluctant to give up the life that permits him to roam the night. In the woman’s dying fall, he sees the chance to sell a story and perhaps buy some time. So he starts to probe deeper. Nothing prepares him for the odyssey he is about to undertake. As the path leads, dark and twisted, from the meanest streets of New York to the homes of the rich, he struggles to uncover the life of the woman who leaped into the rain. The more layers he strips away, however, the more puzzles confront him, until ultimately, the search turns back onto himself: the dead woman’s true tale reveals shocking truths about his own life. At last, what began as a simple search for a story becomes a fight for his own soul. Rich in character, complex in plot, The City When It Rains is a haunting, suspenseful novel of uncommon force, written with the stark beauty of the city it describes - passionate, resonant, a mystery in the deepest sense of the word. ungekürzt.

What the hell had I been thinking? I leaped over the flames to land beside the beggar girl. I took the hand she offered, and though I only haltingly knew the steps, I stepped left with the music, expecting her to circle and step right. "What are you doing you nimrod?" she asked."Aren't we going to dance now?" I asked surprised. "Guards!" screamed the king. "Security! Get them! Arrest them! Taser them!""No, we are going to run for our lives now," she informed me gravely.Hands clasped, we ran for the exit. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Billie Fullford-Brown, Nick Mondelli.

The Children of the Roses , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 419min
Warren Adler's The War of the Roses leaped into the public consciousness and has since remained an essential thread in a wider tapestry of divorce iconography. Now Adler presents us with the chandelier-shattering legacy of Barbara and Jonathan Rose relived in their children, Josh and Evie, in a hilarious sequel to the original iconic tale about the perils of marriage, divorce, and the destructive power of materialism. Unlike the legendary Roses, Josh's marriage to Victoria should have all the qualities of an everlasting union. But when an innocent caper involving missing Milky Ways catapults out of control at their son's elite private school, they find themselves entering into a shattering warfare of a different kind. Armed with the emotional mayhem inherited from their parents as well as compounded pressures involving a depraved headmaster, clandestine affairs, and Victoria's male-hating mother, The Children of the Roses presents a gripping story of the lengths to which parents will go to protect their children. Little more than a child herself, Josh's ever-sympathetic and overstuffed sister, Evie, lavishes her "food is love" obsession on her beloved niece and nephew, who are coping with their own sense of loss. Meanwhile, Michael and Emily, soon-to-be children of divorce, orchestrate their own plan to keep their family together at all costs. Adler once again demonstrates his storytelling mastery by revealing the intricate blending of the past with the present and how time unravels all seemingly perfect things to be darkly and even comically dysfunctional. ungekürzt.

Epoch: The Future Templar, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 151min
His blaster ran dry as he made the top of the hill. He had a second to look behind him at the villagers that surrounded the base of the rise. Whatever was in the cave was worth dying for, he thought. His First had been right. Hundreds of bodies were around him, men, women, even children. All dead to stop his Troop from reaching the cave. He was the only one left. He dropped the empty pistol and drew his sword. They would kill him, he knew. He wasn't afraid to die. It was drilled in them from the beginning. It wasn't death that mattered, only how many enemies you could take with you. And he planned to take them all. A battle cry raged from his throat as he took a running start and leaped off the hill. A multicolored cloud opened in front of him, snatched him from the air and catapulted him through a vortex of swirling lights, sound and color. The Templar realized the sound was his own voice, dragged out and ragged. He plopped out onto a sterile lab floor, rage coursing through his veins. The villagers were gone, replaced by metal shelves, metal tables and two men in white coats who stared at him in fear and wonder. He screamed again, lifted the sword and attacked....Epoch is the sci-fi adventure about a warrior from the past kidnapped into a dystopian future where an AI rules with an iron fist. He's been brought to save the world, but does the Templar want to rule it instead? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Careaga.

The Gift of Valor: A War Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 445min
Every day ordinary young Americans are fighting and dying in Iraq, with the same bravery, honor, and sense of duty that have distinguished American troops throughout history. One of these is Jason Dunham, a 22-year-old Marine corporal from the one-stoplight town of Scio, New York, whose stunning story reporter Michael M. Phillips discovered while he was embedded with a Marine infantry battalion in the Iraqi desert. Corporal Dunham was on patrol near the Syrian border on April 14, 2004, when a black-clad Iraqi leaped out of a car and grabbed him around his neck. Fighting hand-to-hand in the dirt, Dunham saw his attacker drop a grenade and made the instantaneous decision to place his own helmet over the explosive in the hope of containing the blast and protecting his men. When the smoke cleared, Dunham's helmet was in shreds, and the corporal lay face down in his own blood. The Marines beside him were seriously wounded. Dunham was subsequently nominated for the Congressional Medal of Honor, the nation's highest award for military valor. Phillips's minute-by-minute chronicle of the chaotic fighting that raged throughout the area and culminated in Dunham's injury provides a grunt's-eye view of war as it's being fought today: fear, confusion, bravery, and suffering set against a brotherhood forged in combat. His account of Dunham's eight-day journey home and of his parents' heartrending reunion with their son powerfully illustrates the cold brutality of war and the fragile humanity of those who fight it. Dunham leaves an indelible mark upon all who know his story, from the doctors and nurses who treat him, to the readers of the original Wall Street Journal article that told of his singular act of valor. ungekürzt.

The Adventures of the Lone Jack Kid , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 402min
Join the fun. Ride along with Jesse and Frank James and the Younger brothers as they share in the adventures of The Lone Jack Kid.This was wartime and men lived and died fighting their enemy...and sometimes they died fighting each other. Cole looked at the men, raised his hand, and said in a voice loud enough for everyone in the room to hear, “Don’t do it, boys. Sturman was a yellow cur, and a deserter, and you don’t have to die trying to avenge the likes of him." There were seven Indians and they were standing around two semi-naked white women who appeared to be a mother and daughter. Charlie took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Then he aimed - and fired, and fired, and fired again, repeatedly. He dropped four of the Indians before they knew what hit them. Then he charged into the clearing and shot another Indian reaching for his gun. “My name is Charles Longstreet.” The men looked at each other as recognition set in. “You’re the Lone Jack Kid?” The Kid smiled. “The one and only.” He pulled his hat off of his head and waved it in the air, then he gave the Rebel yell. “See you money grubbers in hell, boys.” He jerked the reins, and nudged Comet with his heals. She turned her head and leaped into the bubbling stream with water as high as the stirrups, and dashed across, splashing tendrils of water high in the air on both sides of her. It was an impressive display of horsemanship, and the toll collectors watched with grudging admiration. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Slone.

The Blissful Longing of Rumi , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 116min
I first came upon the magnificent Divani Shamsi Tabriz at the now defunct Bodhi Tree bookstore on Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood. I was 17 years old and I used to haunt that bookstore like a ghost who overstayed his welcome, primarily because they allowed its patrons to sit comfortably and read whatever was on their shelves for offer. I have a very fond memory of reading Rumi's deeply moving paens to his deceased mentor and friend, Shams of Tabriz. I eventually bought the paperback edition of the book and read it daily for years. Even today nearly five decades later my eyes moisten whenever I read anew the infinite longing that Rumi had for his beloved teacher, particularly when he could plaintively write, "Love's fingers tear up, root and stem, every house where sunbeams fall from love. When my heart saw love's sea, of a sudden it left me and leaped in, crying, find me. The face of Shamsi Din, Tabriz's glory, is the sun in whose track the cloud-like hearts are moving." Reynold A. Nicholson has done us all in the English speaking world a wonderful service by translating from the original Persian much of Rumi's writings. The following excerpted poems provide a glimpse into the heart and mind of the one world's greatest mystic poets. It is my hope that a new cadre of listeners will be moved and touched by Rumi's poems, which each have a universal import that transcends both religion and cultural boundaries. Though Rumi was a Muslim and wrote within the context of a believer in Islam, his message goes to the heart of all spiritual inquiries - regardless of whether one is a Jew, a Christian, or a Hindu. ungekürzt.
