  The Misses Moffet Mend A Marriage: A Victorian San Francisco Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 44min

  This short story, set in 1879 San Francisco, features two elderly dressmakers, Miss Minnie and Miss Millie Moffet, who face a moral dilemma of no small dimensions. They turn for advice to Annie Fuller, a widowed boardinghouse owner who supplements her income as a clairvoyant, Madam Sibyl. For those who have read Locke's full-length Victorian San Francisco mysteries, Maids of Misfortune, Uneasy Spirits, and Bloody Lessons, or her other short story, "Dandy Detects", this is an amusing glimpse into the lives of Annie Fuller's two most eccentric boarders. For those unfamiliar with Locke's mysteries and the late 19th century world they portray, this is just a taste of things to come. Enjoy. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alexandra Haag.

  Confetti and Lemon Blossom: Wedding Stories from Don Pericle's Villa, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 150min

  For Don Pericle, wedding organizing is a calling, not just a career. Deep in the Sicilian countryside, between rose gardens and trellised balconies, up marble staircases and across damasked ballrooms, these charming stories unfold: stories of star-crossed love, of comedic misunderstandings and of deep friendships, of love triumphing in the face of adversity (pomegranate-stained dresses, overzealous photographers, missing string quartets, and even a case of sabotage!). To these brides and grooms-to-be, Don Pericle becomes a guru, a mentor, even a friend, solving problems, untangling knots, rearranging menus, and transforming lives. In “The Princess and the Pea”, Natalia wants a fairy-tale wedding, whatever the cost: But what does that mean for the rest of her life with Marco? Sophia and Isaias’ families, in “Be Our Guest”, have decided to boycott the wedding. How will they figure out a way to fill out the guest list? Meanwhile, in “Daniela’s Big Day”, the bride’s older sister is dreading the bouquet toss. Can Don Pericle find a way to ease her worries? Fishmongers and Ferrari drivers, dressmakers and divorcees, gardeners and grandmothers: Within the walls of Villa Lingualarga, all are offered a new chance at understanding each other - and maybe even finding true love. “A super read, and we all enjoyed the quirky, insightful style of storytelling.” (The People's Friend editorial team)"What a lovely story - so sweet and funny. Don Pericle is such an interesting character - we all need someone like that in our lives!" (Ewan Smith, author of pocket novels, short stories, and poems) ungekürzt. Language: English.
