    Murder at the War Plant: Classic Novel of Romance, Mystery and Sabotage in World War II , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 398min
    A classic novel of romance and mystery in a World War II factory! "A magnificent mystery romance!" (Marshfield Wisconsin News-Herald) "Nancy Youngblood is a lovable character, with a mind as fast as a high-speed camera. Fascinating." (Cincinnati Enquirer)Meet Nancy Youngblood, a blithe and vivid heroine of an investigating disposition. When Nancy inherits a minor interest in a factory soon to become vital to the winning of World War II, she sees it as a chance to get closer to Robert Dalhart, who has taken over the factory on his father's death. Nancy has always loved him but because they grew up together on the same block Robert thinks of her as a kid sister. But soon sabotage, murder, and strikes threaten the plant and Robert - who evidence suggests may be the culprit, perhaps as an agent of the German government. Nancy's heart tells her he is innocent despite the incriminating circumstances. But when the body of an unidentified man is found behind the house opposite hers, she begins to suspect something much larger and more sinister is involved. Nancy braves threats, kidnapping, and even Robert's interest in a very attractive woman to save him from being wrongly arrested and tried. But nothing deters her from attempting to solve the mystery and rescue the man she loves from the slings of ill-fortune...until she finds herself helpless in the hands of a ruthless killer. Also published as Murder for a Million. ungekürzt.

    In Bed with Susie Bright 456: When Orgasm Makes You Lose Control - And NOT in a Good Way!, Hörbuch, Digital, 41min, (USK 18)
    Back in the news again is Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. And once more he's being scrutinized for his sexual habits. Surprisingly, Susie finds one thing she and Thomas have in common: their love of porn! This is a "hobby" that plenty of people enjoy, so what's the problem if a bigwig justice is also a collector of porn? Nothing wrong there, says Susie, but she finds his alleged sexual bullying, harassment of women, and sexual tyranny a real problem. And have you heard about Thomas' wife calling Anita Hill demanding an apology - 20 years later? Too strange even for the National Enquirer. Next, in our ongoing "Tell Me Your Sex Story" segment, another listener divulges all her private sexual secrets to Susie. This week "Meg" gets into the sexual confession booth. She's from the Midwest and is a new mom who still finds time to make love with her husband. Susie and Meg discuss being bisexual, BDSM, and talking dirty, even though the kids are within earshot. Then, in our "Try This at Home" mailbag, Susie responds to a letter from a woman with a really embarrassing problem. "My orgasm made me lose control of my bowels. Now I'm so worried about it happening again; I can't have any fun." Have a question? You can call Susie's hotline at 831-480-5110. And you can send your confidential questions - plus requests for free samples and blog banners! - to susie@susiebright.com.

    The MOB Lynching of Frank Fisher (eBook, ePUB)
    While growing as a teenager in Galion, Ohio in the 1960s, I heard the story I am sure was heard by most that lived there; "the last black person that lived in this town was hanged". I always wondered if this story was a nasty rumor or the nasty truth. Living in Galion, you couldn't help but notice there were no blacks in our neighborhoods or schools. In fact the minority population currently remains very small in Galion (97% white). Some 50 years after first hearing the story of the "lynching, I decided to do a search for the truth. Sadly and not surprisingly I found the "nasty rumor" was indeed the "nasty truth".My first verification of the truth came from a search of newspaper archives. After a few searches, there it was, staring me in the face, the cold dark truth from a May 2, 1882 article in the Cincinnati Enquirer. The seven headlines from that one article were as follows; "MOB LAW.Its Terrible Execution at Galion.The Lynching of Frank Fisher in the Broad Light of Day.For the Fiendish Crime Committed Upon Little Barbara Rettig.Deaf in the Entreaties of the Mayor and Other Officers in Desist.The Unmasked, Determined Mob Marches the Monster to His Death.Recognized by His Victim - A Day of Intense Excitement - How the Work Was Finished." I decided to keep digging and the more I did the worse the nightmare became. Not only was there a Black American hung in Galion in 1882, it was obvious the execution of Frank Fisher happened with the support of community leaders of Galion. Perhaps not surprising, for the time, the print media feed the flames of hate and outrage. The more I read about this public murder the more I felt the full story (as much as could be discovered) needed to be told.

    American Legends: The Life of Nat Turner , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 83min
    In American history, there are few people as controversial or consequential as Nat Turner, who was one of millions of slaves in the South before the Civil War but ultimately led the nation's most notorious slave uprising. In August 1831, Turner led a rebellion that terrorized Virginia for several days, killing dozens of whites and freeing slaves as his band moved from plantation to plantation. The Richmond Enquirer reported, "A fanatic preacher by the name of Nat Turner (Gen. Nat Turner) who had been taught to read and write, and permitted to go about preaching in the country, was at the bottom of this infernal brigandage. He was artful, impudent and vindicative, without any cause or provocation, that could be assigned." Even after the uprising was put down, Turner evaded capture for a few months, and after he was captured, his "confessions" were taken down and published before he was executed. Virginia would put a total of 56 slaves to death for the uprising. The repercussions of Nat Turner's rebellion across the South cannot be overstated. The fear imposed by the uprising led states across the South to enforce even tougher codes on slaves; since Turner had been taught to read and write, states forbade slaves from being taught to read or assemble, and in the aftermath, whites also treated blacks even worse, with an estimated 200 blacks being killed in an outbreak of violence. But while Turner was demonized by whites and held out as a stereotype of what a typical slave might do if given the chance, he was lionized among other slaves and free blacks as providing an example "when the first should be last and the last should be first." The polarization helped harden opinions on both sides, paving the way for future events like John Brown's attempted rebellion at Harpers Ferry in 1859. American Legends: The Life of Nat Turner examines the life of one of America's most famous slaves. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kila Kitu.

    Weird Florida II: In a State of Shock , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 458min
    In 1998, Weird Florida made the bold statement that Florida “is the home of more nuttiness per square mile than any place on earth - and we dare the world to prove us wrong”.A few tried. California comes to mind, but no one came close.And that was before:The 2000 presidential election and the infamous “Butterfly Ballot”Elian GonzalezMost of the September 11 terrorists were found to have lived and trained in South FloridaThe National Enquirer writing about being attacked by anthrax and not making it upThe American Civil Liberties Union rising to the defense of a Palm Beach resident and confessed drug addict named Rush LimbaughIn fact, it seems the only crazy story lately that didn't have a Florida connection was O.J. Simpson. Oh. Wait. He lives here now. So, we figured the time was right for another round of stories - some sad, some disturbing, but most pretty funny - from the land that seems to draw offbeat people like the Everglades draws mosquitoes.When Weird Florida came out, some people didn't get it. Famed radio commentator Paul Harvey called it “a cry for help”. He described it not as a loving celebration of Florida's colorful aspects, but rather an exposé on the order of The Jungle, Upton Sinclair's shocking look at Chicago's slaughterhouses. And one reviewer, on an online bookseller's web page, wrote, “This shows just what a mosquito-filled muck hole, sand-flea infested, White-trash flooded, odd-ball inhabited place Florida really is. It made me glad I didn't live there.”At first, such reactions hurt us deeply. Then, we thought: Florida's population has gone from two million at the start of World War II, to 17.5 million now. If even one person listens to this audiobook and decides not to move to Florida, after all, the public humiliation is worth it. In that spirit, we bring you Weird Florida II: In a State of Shock. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gavin Bruce.

    Mar-a-Lago: Inside the Gates of Power at Donald Trump's Presidential Palace , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 649min
    Where Trump learned to rule.To know Donald J. Trump - to understand what makes the 45th president of the US tick - it is best to start in his natural habitat: Palm Beach, Florida. It is here he learned the techniques that took him all the way to the White House. Painstakingly, over decades, he has created a world in this exclusive tropical enclave and favorite haunt of billionaires where he is not just president but a king. The vehicle for his triumph is Mar-a-Lago, one of the greatest mansions ever built in the US. The inside story of how he became king of Palm Beach - and how Palm Beach continues to be his spiritual home even as president - is rollicking, troubling, and told with unrivaled access and understanding by Laurence Leamer.  Never before has an American president overseen a club where access to him can be bought. In Mar-a-Lago, the listener will learn:  How Donald Trump bought a property now valued by some at as much as $500 million for less than $300,000 of his own money.  Why Trump was blackballed by the WASP grandees of the island and how he got his revenge.  How Trump joined forces with the National Enquirer, headquartered nearby, and engineered his own divorce.  How by turning Mar-a-Lago into a private club, Trump was the unlikely man to integrate Palm Beach’s restricted country club scene, and what his real motives were.  What transpires behind the gates of today’s Mar-a-Lago during “the season”, when President Trump and assorted DC power players fly down each weekend.  In addition to copious interviews and reporting from inside Mar-a-Lago, Laurence Leamer brings an acute and unparalleled understanding of the society of Palm Beach, where he has lived for 25 years. He has delivered an essential audiobook for understanding Donald Trump’s inner character in the place where he can most be himself. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Todd McClaren.

    The 1811 German Coast Uprising: The History and Legacy of America’s Largest Slave Revolt , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 84min
    As the issue of slavery roiled the country, few people became as controversial or consequential as Nat Turner, who was one of millions of slaves in the South before the Civil War but ultimately led the nation’s most notorious slave uprising. In August 1831, Turner led a rebellion that terrorized Virginia for several days, killing dozens of Whites and freeing slaves as his band moved from plantation to plantation. The Richmond Enquirer reported, “A fanatic preacher by the name of Nat Turner (Gen. Nat Turner) who had been taught to read and write, and permitted to go about preaching in the country, was at the bottom of this infernal brigandage. He was artful, impudent, and vindicative, without any cause or provocation, that could be assigned.” Even after the uprising was put down, Turner evaded capture for a few months, and after he was captured, his “confessions” were taken down and published before he was executed. Virginia would put a total of 56 slaves to death for the uprising. While Turner’s rebellion remains famous today, a far larger uprising took place a generation earlier. In January 1811, hundreds of slaves in Louisiana attempted to make a new beginning for themselves or die trying. Armed with muskets, cane knives, and axes, and wearing stolen United States militia uniforms, they set out to conquer the city of New Orleans. The goal was to establish a free republic where slavery was outlawed and Blacks had control over their own lives. Understandably discontented with their status and no longer willing to accept it, they were ready to engage in extreme violence to win their freedom, fully aware that death would be the only alternative. Between the arrival of the first slave ship in Virginia in 1619 and the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, there were more than 250 incidents of rebellions by 10 or more slaves on present-day United States territory, dating as far back as the 1739 Stono rebellion in South Carolina.

    Collision
    This album has taken just under a year to record, working between Oxford, London and Essex to record all the various parts of it. It features a lot of musicians that I have worked with in the past, as well as some new people who it's been a real pleasure to have playing on my tracks. The 12 tracks here I hope display my love of learning, blending, and then writing and arranging in a combination of musical genres. I've tried to stay very close to the recording process right through, as I love the concept that what was once a very small idea becomes something very real and polished. A few comments about my music: -'A musician set to inspire... tipped to hit the big time' - The Enquirer -'The best live performance I've heard in probably 25 years' - Gareth Jones, Sound Engineer -'Live vocal performance is absolutely exemplary - so powerful, and yet at times, so brittle' - Mike, sound engineer, Chinnery's -'I really don't know what to say about such a unique vocal' - Donna Soto-Morettini, worldwide vocal coach and author of 'Popular Singing' -'An incredibly emotional performer' - Simon Deacon, Goldsmiths College -'You've got a great future in music' - jazz legend Digby Fairweather -'The songs cover everything anybody could wish for' - Halo, Award-winning London live music venue -'Different to what anyone else is doing right now' - Mark Aaron James, American singer-songwriter.
