Gold Winner in Humor at National IPPY Book Awards Silver medals in Memoir & Illustration at CIPA EVVY Book Awards Finalist in Humor at USA Book Awards Finalist in Humor at Indy Excellence Awards Goat Lips delivers a thought-provoking romp through a lapsed Englishman's life, who - after a quarter century of living in the United States - realized he'd neglected to renew his subscription to England.

His ability to question the assumptions of everyday life with a wry grin, tender touch, and a twinkle in his kind eyes makes Matthew's tales endlessly entertaining.

Blind Bombing: How Microwave Radar Brought the Allies to D-Day and Victory in World War II , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 558min
Awarded the silver medal in History (World) Category in the 2020 IPPY Awards Since the discovery of radar early in the 20th century, development across most of the world had progressed only incrementally. Germany and Japan had radar as well, but in just three years, the Allies’ new radar, incorporating the top-secret cavity magnetron, turned the tide of war from doubtful to a known conclusion before the enemy even figured out how. The tactical difference between the enemy’s primitive radar and the Allies’ new radar was similar to that between a musket and a rifle. The cavity magnetron proved to be the single most influential new invention contributing to winning the war in Europe.Norman Fine tells the relatively unknown story of radar’s transformation from a technical curiosity to a previously unimaginable offensive weapon. We meet scientists and warriors critical to the story of radar and its pressure-filled development and implementation. Blind Bombing brings to light two characters who played an integral role in the story as it unfolded: one, a brilliant and opinionated scientist, the other, an easygoing 21-year-old caught up in the peacetime draft.This unlikely pair and a handful of their cohorts pioneered a revolution in warfare. They formulated new offensive tactics by trying, failing, and persevering, ultimately overcoming the naysayers and obstructionists on their own side and finally the enemy.The book is published by University of Nebraska Press.

Knuckle Supper: Ultimate Gutter Fix Edition , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 658min
When heroin-addicted vampire and gang leader, RJ, reluctantly takes in a 12-year-old prostitute called Bait, humanity is introduced to his otherwise lifeless existence. An unforgiving, vicious, and realistic horror story, Knuckle Supper explores chemical dependency, inner-city brutality, religion, molestation, abortion, and the very nature of evil itself. In 2010, Knuckle Supper was called “The Anti-Twilight”. Now, re-edited and re-mixed as the new “Ultimate Gutter Fix Edition”, 2011's gold medal, IPPY award-winning “Best Horror Novel” paves the way to the much anticipated sequel, Knuckle Balled. Unlike anything you've ever heard, Knuckle Supper is a bone-smashing vampire story...built for the 21st century. "Combining the slick Hollywood decadence of a Bret Easton Ellis novel and the drug-addled realism of Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting, author Drew Stepek gleefully takes the piss out of the staid troupes of the genre by injecting LA's seedy underbelly with heroin-addicted vampires.” (Rue Morgue)"Even though there are various types of exploitation involved in the lives/backgrounds of almost all the players in this blood fest, Stepek is masterful in enabling the reader to actually feel sorrow and empathy for a few of the characters (not only RJ and Bait) and to see the human in the monsters and the monster in the humans.” (Fangoria Magazine) “It’s a drug-fueled, modern-day vampire saga that reads like a bloodsucking sequel to 1979‘s The Warriors written by James Ellroy. And fans of hardcore horror fiction take blissful note: Stepek’s wicked prose can cut awfully deep." (Bloody Disgusting) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jason Hill.
