  Limited Time Offer: Brew Crew , Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 580min

  Sex may sell, but their deal doesn't include love.... Brew Crew, book 1. Account Director Sloane Granderson has been given her orders by the CEO - tone down the antics of the "Brew Crew", the guys at Huxworth Packard Advertising who work on their biggest account. Sure, they're all puffed up, strutting egos, but they're also the best and brightest creatives in Chicago. Including the newest recruit, disturbingly attractive Levi Wolcott. Award-winning copywriter Levi is pumped to have been headhunted to Huxworth Packard to work on the beer account. But he's not off to a good start when he and Sloane first meet in an embarrassing encounter in a hotel hall, and the Brew Crew's merciless new-guy hazing doesn't improve his shaky first impression. Even worse, Levi can't ignore the intense attraction he has to Sloane. Despite their mutual "hell no" when it comes to love, a moment of weakness makes Sloan and Levi believe business and pleasure can be kept separate, and maybe a little harmless sex isn't that dangerous. Or maybe it's as harmless as a bomb with a lit fuse.... Warning: This audiobook contains a hero with an award-winning, panty-melting vocabulary intent on the hard sell and a take-charge businesswoman who doesn't mind giving up control in the bedroom...and thinks panties are overrated, anyway. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lane Kildare, Gerald Kildare. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/inbl/000087/bk_inbl_000087_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

  Dunkirk to D-Day (eBook, ePUB)

  Another rip-roaring World War II history by prize-winning author Jeff Steel. Bill Adlam's hair-raising escape from Dunkirk, his dramatic commando raids and his storming the D-Day beaches reads like fiction. It all happened. Bill escaped the Dunkirk disaster via a bayonet charge into Nazi machine guns. He was presented with the Military Medal 'for gallantry under fire' by King George VI. Bill volunteered for commandos: he thrived on adrenaline. Number 4 commando took him to a surgical strike in the north of Norway. The stated objective: to destroy oil installations. It was a feint. Ian Fleming of the Secret Intelligence Service had masterminded the raid. Its objective: to help break the Enigma Code. Number 4 Commando then sent him on a raid to Dieppe to spike naval guns to enable a landing by Canadian forces. Bill's commanding officer was Lord Lovat: cousin to Ian Fleming and (allegedly) template for the fictional James Bond. Bill's prowess as a commando saw him headhunted to a top-secret location in the wilds of Scotland. Here he trained others in the dark arts of 'butcher and bolt'. On D-Day morning Bill passed over the sands of Normandy in minutes. The next two months saw him up against Hitler's elite army and Waffen SS divisions. The reader will ask the same question that Bill asked: how would he ever come out alive?

  Cinco de Star-Oh!

  While D.C. Bloom doesn't exactly relish the label, he understands why one might call him a "late bloomer" on the Texas music scene. Yes, D.C. will admit, it took him a little over four decades to even get to the Lone Star State, despite the fact that he has occasionally cited the ghost town of Nix, Texas as his birthplace. But no, D.C.'s really an Ohio native, who spent years inside the D.C. Beltway and a stint in the chilly climes of New England before finally putting his boots on the ground in Texas. And even then, it was another two or three years before he cranked out his solo debut, Simpler Times A-Wastin'. So D.C. Bloom as the quintessential late bloomer is more than a little legit. D.C.'s journey from the Black Swamp land of northwest Ohio to the Texas Hill Country is as circuitous as his musical evolution. He left the Buckeye State in his rear-view mirror in the late '70s to travel to the nation's capital for a job with the FBI, where he began as a humble data entry clerk and ended up writing speeches for the Director. Bloom next took his growing family to Boston, heeding the siren call of the private sector's bigger paydays and earning a Master's degree in Speech Communication from the esteemed Emerson College. A return trip to D.C. four years later put him back in the business of putting words in the mouths of policymakers and movers and shakers in banking and housing finance. It wasn't until the late '90s, when - on a whim and the suggestion of a co-worker who detected a lack of true passion in Bloom's false calling - that he signed up for a songwriting workshop at the Kerrville Folk Festival and began to string words and chords together in a format more to his liking than the day job 30-minute PowerPoint presentations that paid the mortgage. Bloom next took his growing binder of original songs to Geoff Pemble, who played in the praise band at the church D.C. attended in Vienna, Virginia. Pemble invited D.C. to join the God's house band, which he did somewhat reluctantly, because contemporary Christian music didn't necessarily ring his chimes. But after the weekly rehearsals in the church sanctuary, Bloom and Pemble stayed on to work on D.C.'s secular songs, some of which probably never should have been sung anywhere near an altar. In any event, the two soon formed an Americana band called The Dog Waggers and self-produced a CD called "Chasin' Tales," which the good Lutherans of Northern Virginia scarfed up like fresh dog treats. And some of them even figured out that the title was more about pursuing posteriors than posterity. As his alphabetized binder continued to expand, Bloom dreamed of landing a cushy corporate gig that would finance his move to Texas and put him within easy driving distance of the sacred grounds of Kerrville. Lightning finally struck in early 2003, and the headhunted D.C. would bid adieu to the Dog Waggers and travel south by southwest to San Antonio with his beat-up Tacoma guitar and a new dream - to get out there and perform on his own ... and finally put out a CD all by his lonesome. A little mishap on a mountain bike and a goat farm that resulted in a broken left wrist and pins being inserted in same slowed things down a bit, but the recuperation time also allowed D.C. to pen more tunes to his new home state. "I have long wanted to be a Texas singer-songwriter," Bloom acknowledges, "and I figured the best way to do that is to write a song about every town and city in the state." With atlas and guitar in hand, he added to the repertoire that would form the basis for many of the songs on STA-W. Bloom's songs are chock full of witty wordplay and hand-hewn humor. "It may not seem like it," D.C. notes, "but I really do work at this silly stuff, ya know?" Because not unlike the spin and obtuse soundbites that emanate from the real D.C., there's often more than one way to interpret D.C.'s lyrics. Bloom paraphrases another fella who had a keen eye and an ability to masquerade truth in satire, saying, "Yep, I never met a double entendre I didn't like." The songs on Simpler Times A-Wastin' (STA-W) bear out D.C. Bloom's unique way with words. He sings of a headturning gal from Texarkana who much prefers men from Texas because when she's with Arkansas guys "she can't get her Little Rocks off." There's the delightful "Ballad of Boerne and Alice," which chronicles the on-line romance and the less-than-satisfying in-person hook-up of two residents of two Texas towns whose names sound a lot like where they're from. He takes a playful jab at the business community of the Alamo City on "I Can't Forget the Alamo," ticking off the real and imagined names of San Antonio enterprises that can't resist the temptation to call themselves Alamo something-or-other. And on the jazz-boiled "Small Potatoes," which features the beautiful acoustic guitar work of Maestro Aurora, D.C. offers homage to the virtues of organic farming, "diesel-powered cats in greasy trucker caps," and the noble pursuits of common women and men. The CD also includes two tracks with his former bandmates, the Dog Waggers, including "Ice Box on the Fritz,' a bouncing Sir Doug-inspired romp about a refrigerator handyman with more than repairs on his mind. But while it's D.C.'s light-hearted cleverness that draws the listener in, there's also a reflective, thoughtful side to his songwriting that touches on universal themes such as family or longing for deeper connections. On "Acres to Plow," which features the harmonies of Terri Hendrix and the steel guitar of Lloyd Maines," both of whom he first met at that defining Kerrville workshop, D.C. reminisces about his dairy farming father who would joyfully sing on his tractor all day long. And on the haunting and sobering "Neon Signs," which has been featured on KGSR's "Lone Star State of Mind" radio show, D.C draws the parallel between those once-buzzing storefront artifacts from earlier days that have "lost their way and their will to shine" and broken down people who cling to false hope and memories of bygone and fading love. D.C.'s newest musical offering, a 5-song EP entitled "Cinco de Star-oh!" is set for an April 16, 2010 release. Recorded in Austin, TX at the Byrd House Studio, the EP features an array some of of the city's finest players and singers, including Lloyd Maines on dobro, Warren Hood on fiddle and madolin, Chip Dolan on piano and accordion, Tom Robinson on saxophone, Greg Whitfield on lead guitar, Michael Rubin on harmonica, Elizabeth Wills on vocals, and Chrissy Flatt on background harmonies.

  Colossal Squid

  Colossal Squid' is the debut album from Adam Betts. Combining his love for the irregularities in electronic music (by the likes of Aphex Twin, Autechre and more recently Arca and Oneohtrix) with his visceral connection with live drums. As a member of Brian Eno's favourite London experimentalists Three Trapped Tigers, Betts has spent years exploring the boundaries between electronic and live music, and celebrating the flaws thrown up when one tried to replicate the other. Taking the 'Drums Vs Electronics / Man Vs Machine' idea he's been developing behind the kit for TTT and The Heritage Orchestra (and more recently with Shobaleader One after being headhunted by Squarepusher) this album has a wider focus: Betts decided the best way for the live show to truly represent the album (and vice versa), was to make them one and the same. Having originally written, developed and recorded an earlier version of the album over a few months in various studios around London, the opportunity arose to record a live session. The recordings captured such an enthralling energy that they instantly replaced the previous "studio" versions. "An exhilarating fierce, drum soundscape... the guys a fucking animal" Goldie "One of my favourites on the planet" Chino Moreno.
