Dirty Tricks: A Kate Lawrence Mystery, Book 7 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 401min
In the seventh Kate Lawrence Mystery, the amateur sleuth and her realtor partners, Margo and Strutter, investigate the sometimes frightening consequences of thwarted creative egos. When Margo's aunt, mystery writer Maybelle Farnsworth, moves to town a few weeks before Halloween, she soon becomes the target of a neighborhood prankster, or so Kate and her partners believe at first. When the dirty tricks escalate from annoying to terrifying, May's secret sideline as the publisher of a line of sexy romance novels comes into play. A horrified husband learns the true nature of his novelist wife's work, and a rejected author plots revenge. Within the context of this cozy mystery, the author shines a light into the seldom acknowledged dark corners of today's ultra-competitive publishing industry, including manipulative agents, clashing egos, and unethical ploys used by a few misguided authors to gain listeners' attention, such as fraudulent claims of prize nominations and paid-for reviews. ungekürzt.

The Hoyden (Dramatized) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 55min
Impetuous Lady Martha and her sister, Lady Julia, are shy country girls, come to London to be presented to Society by their Aunt Maybelle, the Duchess - and, if the Duchess has her way, to marry well. However, the plain-spoken sisters are ill-prepared to cope with the circumspectly courteous demands of city life and High Society. Will Lady Martha survive her encounter with Lord Peter Thornham with her reputation intact, or will his rakish reputation soil another family's good name? Can quiet Lady Julia rescue her sister from the fate that awaits her, with the aid of the foppish Lord Edward Toffington? Will the London social scene ever be the same? Will the Duchess? After all, once one's reputation is already in tatters, one may do and say as one thinks... This is an original, full cast, fully sound-scaped audio dramatization. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Westward with Gun and Mule , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 192min
Gabriel Sand is separated from his family who are on their way to Oregon traveling the Oregon Trail. During an Indian attack, his family is wiped out. He rescues a young cavalry officer, Roger Painter, and they become friends. They are both saved by his big Missouri mule, Jack. He then becomes an agent for the Pony Express and acquires a new friend. He folded his hands under his chin and fixed his gaze on the encampment below. There was a large fire glowing in the center of the wagon circle, and he could see several braves dancing around it. He was able to count nine doing the dancing, one beat on a small drum, and two who looked like older men were just sitting, observing the festivities. After watching for a few minutes, he crawled back to where Roger lay. “I don’t know what’s going on,” said Gabe. “It’s the same bunch that killed Maybelle, and there is a couple of older Indians with them. The two older ones are wearing those fancy feather war bonnets.” ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ryan Fugett.

Music from The True Vine: Mike Seeger's Life and Musical Journey , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 427min
A musician, documentarian, scholar, and one of the founding members of the influential folk revival group New Lost City Ramblers, Mike Seeger (1933-2009) spent more than fifty years collecting, performing, and commemorating the culture and folk music of white and black southerners, which he called "music from the true vine." In this fascinating biography, Bill Malone explores the life and musical contributions of folk artist Seeger, son of musicologists Charles and Ruth Crawford Seeger and brother of folksingers Pete and Peggy Seeger. Malone argues that Seeger, while not as well known as his brother, may be more important to the history of American music through his work in identifying and giving voice to the people from whom the folk revival borrowed its songs. Seeger recorded and produced over forty albums, including the work of artists such as Libba Cotton, Tommy Jarrell, Dock Boggs, and Maybelle Carter. In 1958, with an ambition to recreate the southern string bands of the twenties, he formed the New Lost City Ramblers, helping to inspire the urban folk revival of the sixties. Music from the True Vine presents Seeger as a gatekeeper of American roots music and culture, showing why generations of musicians and fans of traditional music regard him as a mentor and an inspiration. ungekürzt.

Treeborne: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 661min
From Caleb Johnson comes a debut audiobook about an unusual family who have made their home at the margins of an unusual place. Janie Treeborne lives on an orchard at the edge of Elberta, Alabama, and in time she has become its keeper. A place where conquistadors once walked and where the peaches they left behind now grow. Elberta has seen fierce battles, violent storms, and frantic change - and when the town is once again threatened from without, Janie realizes it won’t withstand much more. Soshe tells the story of its people: of Hugh, her granddaddy, determined to preserve Elberta’s legacy at any cost; of his wife, Maybelle, the postmaster, whose sudden death throws the town into chaos; of her lover, Lee Malone, a black orchardist harvesting from a land where he is less than welcome; of the time when Janie kidnapped her own Hollywood-obsessed aunt and tore the wrong people apart. As the world closes in on Elberta, Caleb Johnson’s debut audiobook lifts the veil and offers one last glimpse. Treeborne is a celebration and a reminder: of how the past gets mixed up in thoughts of the future; of how home is a story as much as a place. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Rain in Spain: Lydia Gets in More Trouble on Charlie's European Location Shoots, Challenging Him and Their "Spanking Marriage": The Discipline for a Lasting Marriage Series, Book 13 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 136min, (USK 18)
As Charlie films in and around Madrid, Craig and Lydia join him, along with Craig's adored and adoring nanny, Maybelle. All seems to be going smoothly until Lydia and Charlie have a minor disagreement about building a treehouse for Craig. And Charlie must warn Lydia - as part of their spanking contract - to leave the project to him. Within days, a heavy rain comes and Lydia worries the raw, untreated wood of the treehouse kit will be ruined. So she makes a fateful decision about the kit that puts them cross-wise of each other when he returns to the villa. Then Charlie brings home two of the Andalusian horses featured in his movie, so he can train with them. And soon finds Lydia, an unskilled rider, up on one of the horses in the exercise yard, never mind their spanking contract says she must only ride horseback accompanied by a skilled rider. Note: This book contains vivid descriptions of sexual activity, domestic discipline, the spanking of an adult woman, anal sex, and anal discipline. If such scenes offend you or trigger you, please do not purchase this book. In addition, the series is also about two young, devoted married people growing and maturing together over the course of multiple story lines; they are flawed, loving, devoted human beings, and therefore make mistakes they try to correct. If you are looking for perfect people, look elsewhere. Finally, please note: Any resemblance to real people, living or dead, is unintended and coincidental. ungekürzt. Language: English.
