    Downstairs at the White House: The Story of a Teenager, an Oval Office, and a Ringside Seat to Watergate , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 590min
    At the age of 17, Don Stinson accidentally landed a job in the White House during Watergate, the largest political scandal in American history. A truly insignificant member of the Nixon White House staff, he frequently loitered outside of the Oval Office to watch it unfold.  What he saw throughout the White House ran  the gamut from the deeply profound to the wildly hilarious. He was also a kid who did the same kind of harebrained things most teenagers do. Only steps away from the Oval Office, he fought with a foreign head of state for space in a restroom. He devised a shortcut that tripped countless alarms and summoned an agitated band of Secret Service agents. He spilled ice water on Frank Sinatra's sock. And that was just the small stuff. A funny, fast-paced memoir, Downstairs at the White House is richly decorated with presidents, first ladies, celebrities...and events that shook America.  ungekürzt.

    “It’s just life. Always. You’re either playing someone or you’re being played.” When wannabe criminal Jonathan hears about a life-changing amount of unprotected cash just begging to be stolen, the opportunity is too good to pass up. Problem is he can’t do it alone, so he ropes in a couple of low rent potheads, kicking off a whole bunch of trouble. It’s left to Nuke, a gangster with an explosive temper and marital difficulties, to sort out the mess, all the time dealing with his psychotic bosses, some dodgy cops, his bored wife, and of course Jonathan, the man with the plan. In the mould of Elmore Leonard or early Tarantino SCAM is an exciting crime comedy romp through five interconnected tales full of dumb criminals, harebrained schemes, formidable femme fatales, and even a sweet love story, all told with a distinctly Australian sensibility. So, if you enjoy your crime gritty, your humour dark and dry, and plots that twist and turn and keep you guessing right up to the very last second, you’ll love Jack Stroke’s debut novel SCAM. ungekürzt.

    Vertical: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1052min
    The follow-up novel to the blockbuster Sideways, the basis of a major motion picture, tracks the continuing story of Miles Raymond and his buddy Jack. It’s seven years later. Miles has written a novel that has been made into a wildly successful movie, and the movie has changed his life. Jack, contrarily, is divorced, has a kid, and is on the skids. Phyllis, Miles’ mom, has suffered a stroke that’s left her wheelchair-bound and wasting away in assisted living. She desperately wants to live with her sister in Wisconsin. When Miles gets invited to be master of ceremonies at the International Pinot Festival in Oregon, he hatches a harebrained road trip. With Jack as his copilot, he leases a handicapped-equipped van, hires a pot-smoking Filipina caretaker, and, with his mother’s rascally Yorkie in tow, they take off for Wisconsin via Oregon’s fabled Willamette Valley. This is a road novel for the smart set and wine lovers, and it is anything but predictable. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Brick.

    Megalodon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 174min

How much fame and fortune awaits the one who proves such a monster from the Pleistocene still exists? A video surfaces purporting to document a megalodon attacking an adult sperm whale. Treasure hunter and soldier of fortune Enzo Palmer becomes obsessed with proving it's real. With his voluptuous inamorata, skeptical partner, and his somewhat harebrained paramour, Enzo embarks on an around the world monster quest. From Key West to the Sea of Cortéz, the team dives, trolls and trawls in their high stakes voyage to prove the gigantic living fossil still lurks in the depths. However, there is competition on the horizon in the form of a slightly deranged megalodon enthusiast who has the support of environmental activists with malevolent intent. ungekürzt.

    Sedating Elaine (eBook, ePUB)
    An exuberant dark comedy about love, grief, sex, guilt, and one woman's harebrained scheme to tranquilize her voraciously amorous girlfriend for a few days so that she might pay off her drug dealer, make soup, and finally get some peace and quiet. Frances was not looking for a relationship when she met Elaine in a bar. She was, in fact, looking to drown her sorrows in a pint or twelve and nurse a broken heart, shattered by the gorgeous, electric Adrienne. But somehow (it involved a steady stream of beer and weed, as things often did with Frances) Elaine ended up in Frances's bed and never left. Now, faced with mounting pressure from her drug dealer, Dom (and his goon, Betty), Frances comes up with a terrible idea: She asks Elaine to move in with her for real. Unfortunately, this seemingly romantic overture makes Elaine even more sex-crazed and maniacal with love. Frances fears she may never escape the relationship, so, given no choice, she makes the obvious decision: She will sedate Elaine. A story as enthusiastically madcap and funny as it is smart and emotionally surprising, Sedating Elaine introduces a roster of unforgettable characters and an indelible, wildly exciting new voice in fiction.
