    A Map of Glass , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 680min
    Jane Urquhart's stunning new novel weaves two parallel stories, set a century apart. Sylvia Bradley was rescued from her parents' house by marriage to a doctor whose care has both nourished and imprisoned her. When she meets Andrew Woodman, a historical geographer, her world changes through their devastating and ecstatic affair. A year after Andrew's death, Sylvia tells this story to Jerome McNaughton, a young artist whose discovery of Andrew's body unlocks a secret in his own past. At the center of the novel is the tale of Andrew's grandfather, Branwell, an innkeeper and a painter, whose liaison with an orphaned French-Canadian woman sets the stage for future events. A novel about loss and the transitory nature of place, A Map of Glass is vivid with the evocative prose and haunting imagery for which Jane Urquhart's writing is celebrated. ungekürzt.

    Ballads of Suburbia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 634min
    Ballads are the kinds of songs that Kara McNaughton likes best. Not the cliche ones where a diva hits her dramatic high note or a rock band tones it down a couple of notches for the ladies, but the true ballads: the punk rocker or the country crooner reminding their listeners of the numerous ways to screw things up. In high school, Kara helped maintain the "Stories of Suburbia" notebook, which contained newspaper articles about bizarre, tragic events from suburbs all over America, and personal vignettes that Kara dubbed "ballads" written by her friends in Oak Park, just outside of Chicago. But Kara never wrote her own ballad. Before she could figure out what her song was about, she left town suddenly at the end of her junior year. Now, four years later, Kara returns to her hometown to face the music, needing to revisit the disastrous events that led to her leaving, in order to move on with her life. Intensely powerful and utterly engaging, Ballads of Suburbia explores the heartbreaking moments when life changes unexpectedly, and reveals the consequences of being forced to grow up too soon. ungekürzt.

    Brew: A Love Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 547min
    If only life came with instructions. Boyd McNaughton is working on balance. He is a father, a brewmaster, and the oldest brother of four. When he’s not running Foghorn Brewery with two of his brothers, his days are packed with carpools, teenage angst, and well-intentioned school moms determined to send him on the perfect blind date. After a simple argument ends with a visit to the emergency room, Boyd discovers the one thing he’s been neglecting - his life. Ella Walters is working on connection. Having grown up in a less-than-affectionate family of overachievers, she moved to Petaluma for a slower pace and to escape her past. She has friends now instead of accolades, chooses chocolate croissants over super foods, and cherishes the peace that’s replaced the drama. Sure, she occasionally misses the buzz of the San Francisco General Hospital ER, but Ella is learning that navigating a fuller life can be just as exciting. When Boyd’s son, Mason, seeks out Dr. Ella for “advice” and Boyd stumbles all over her newly healed heart, she finds herself longing for something she never knew existed. But families are messy, and they’ll both need to let go of the past if they want to find a future that’s more than by the book. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sebastian York.

    Wolf Shifter Mason McNaughton is tired of the crazy feral living in his house, endangering him, his brothers, and his sweet auntie Cora. Ferals are Shifters who've reverted to the wild stage, forgetting all about the joys of pizza and satellite TV. Not to mention, Mason is sick of waking up to the feral's rampages in the bedroom next to his. The feral has been given sanctuary, so Mason can't throw him out - the only thing to do is to find a way to cure him. The problem is, Shifter healers - elusive, Goddess-touched Shifters who have the healing gift - are few and far between. Mason volunteers to go in search of one, and is sent to a psychic in New Orleans who might have an idea of where to start looking. Mason doesn't believe in psychics, but Jasmine, the psychic in question, seems to at least put on a good show. Jasmine believes in Shifters all right, but she vowed to never have anything to do with them again. The easiest way to get rid of the growly Lupine, Mason, is to help him, but Jasmine never dreams what that help will drag her into. A short novel of the Shifters Unbound series. ungekürzt.

Which is why he limits his visits to a very breakable psi companion when not working a case, no matter how much he might want Aki.When a high ranking official’s daughter goes missing and feared dead, Shane has no choice but to ask Aki to use his abilities to help him track down the kidnapper. The case opens a door to a past Aki thought he had escaped. Will Shane’s love be enough to save them all when something dark is awakened inside of Aki? ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Karloff: The Life of Boris Karloff , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 294min
    Boris Karloff was the most famous of all horror actors. His memorable portrayal of the Frankenstein monster added a new word to English dictionaries. This new edition of the first biography (published in 1972) - containing a new foreword by Eric McNaughton as well as a special piece about the book by grandson Ben Underwood, reveals that Karloff was not born at Dulwich, London, as stated in all the reference books. People have been traced who remember young "WHP", as he liked to call himself, when he played his first stage part, and in this fascinating story there are many delightful examples of the quiet, unassuming, and lovable Billy Pratt before he received a legacy from his mother and tossed a sixpence to see whether he would emigrate to Canada or Australia. Canada won. In 1909 he sailed from Liverpool. The book tells of his hard, impoverished life in Canada before answering a chance advertisement in the name of Boris Karloff, Karloff being a distant family name, and of his eventual touring of western Canada and the northern States of America. In 1917 he found himself in Los Angeles - in a district with the magic name of Hollywood. We follow Karloff's career from stage work to his early films. We learn of his classic creation of the screen monster Frankenstein: the origin of the story; the casting of Karloff; the conception of the unforgettable monster make-up; the filming; the preview and the overwhelming success of this most famous of all horror films. Then came the aftermath of Frankenstein and the success story of Karloff in such memorable films as The Mummy, The Mask of Fu Manchu, the banned Devil's Island, and the haunting The Body Snatcher: scores of films of all kinds with little-known facts and side-lights on many of them, right up to the moving performance he gave in Targets.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sam Bogart. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/144760/bk_acx0_144760_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Bavaturka-Türkische Reise
    Startschuss zu dieser kongenialen Zusammenarbeit liefert 1994 der brasilianische Startrompeter Claudio Roditi. Nach seinem Auftritt in der Münchner Unterfahrt zu Gast in Himpsls umgebauter Schnapsbrennerei in Unterbiberg, entsteht aus einer privaten Session zuerst die "Schnapsidee" des gemeinsamen Projektes - und nur wenige Monate später die erste CD "Bajazzo" auf dem neu gegründeten Label Himpsl Records. Einmal angestoßen, gerät der vielzitierte Stein damit ins Rollen, in seiner Spur fünf weitere CDs, entstanden in enger Zusammenarbeit mit Topleuten ihrer Genres wie Andrew McNaughton, Jay Ashby, Matthias Schriefl und Seref Dalyanoglu. Genremäßig kaum verortbar sind diese Produktionen und animieren Fachleute aus Musik und Medien zu gewagten Wortkreationen wie Tradi-Mix und Trachtenjazz - indes eine stetig wachsende Fangemeinde den Unterbibergern folgt und begeistert applaudiert... Und jetzt also "Bavaturka - Türkische Reise", ihre gemeinsam mit Posaunist, Perkussionist und vielfachem Grammy-Gewinner Jay Ashby produzierte siebte CD. Dazu die Frage nach dem "warum": Haben türkische und bayrische Musik jemals miteinander zu tun gehabt? "Seit mehr als 300 Jahren sind die ungeraden Taktarten und Makamlar der türkischen Musik unüberhörbar Vorlage für die Musik aus dem Balkan, die wiederum indirekt unsere bayrische Musik beeinflusst", erklärt Franz Josef Himpsl, und weiter: "Neugier und Offenheit gegenüber allen kulturellen Einflüssen lassen Kooperationen und sogar Freundschaften entstehen, die völlig ungekünstelt Traditionen miteinander verknüpfen und im musikalischen Kontext wirklich noch nie Gehörtes hervorbringen können.Am Anfang stand unsere fixe Idee, beides nach typisch "Unterbiberger Art" miteinander zu verknüpfen und das nahm nach und nach Formen an. Die ersten Schritte in eine musikalisch sehr fremde Welt bescherten uns als Musiker manch schweißtreibende Probe, das Ergebnis zeigt Musikern wie Zuhörern, wie sehr sich solch ein Schritt immer wieder lohnt!"

    Just Wandering
    How NOMAD came about. The idea of NOMAD was conceived by Mark Arnold back in 2000 when he met a New York film director who was planning to make a film called I, Nomad - a stylish, arty film featuring supermodels emerging from the sea to portray the beginnings of land-based life on earth. Mark composed some music on spec for the soundtrack - but the film was never made. Mark, however, had the idea of making a whole album based on the mix of world, jazz and chill influences that had coloured the music for the film. He was joined by singer Abi Strevens, who also plays flute, and lyricist Andy Hart, who plays percussion. Things moved on apace when producer Nat Duke came on board to cleverly blend an intriguing mix of samples with contributions from a group of highly accomplished local musicians and singers. The result of three and a half years efforts - NOMAD's Just Wandering... album has been released by Oxford-based record label - The Music Plant. So what is the album like? Most people say that the thing that initially strikes them is the gorgeous clarity of Abi Strevens' vocals that run right through the album. The first track on the album - which is also going to be released as a single - is Letting go... You might ask yourself how a rapper and an opera singer can sound great on the same track. Try listening to it and you will see! The lilting, catchy melody seems destined to make it as an ideal summer hit - the ideal backdrop to a relaxing drink on a hot summer afternoon. The track features opera singer Virginia de Ledesma and Slimma Levi - lead singer from Makating - who sadly died days after the recording sessions. Several tracks feature the smooth, sexy sounds of saxophonist, Julia Middleton. Guitar stylist Shaun Bessant literally makes his instrument sing on the album, managing to create a wide variety of lovely sounds. Duncan McNaughton graces a couple of tracks with smooth trumpet and flugelhorn. Mark Revell - guitarist from The Egg - makes a guest appearance on Spirit - an epic track that features monks chanting in a cave and the sounds of a string orchestra featuring cellist Spike Wilson.
