    Voyages of the Dragon Wynd: The Lost Isle: Flag of Bones Volume 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 101min
    Now in the Deep Waters, the true home of all Men of Bones, Jalen finds himself away from the Empire, but beset with issues. The first is that of his second mother's people, the holders of the mythical "lights of Meran", the lights of the Gods, who are under attack from the Empire in an attempt to force Jalen to show himself and be killed. Then, there is the "Lost" Isle, one of the isles fought over for so many years. Few remember its given name, as it was annexed repeatedly and now host to all sorts of ill deeds, including slavery of some of the vilest type. And if that weren't enough, he finds himself face-to-face with the Black Armada and within bowshot of the Blighted Isle, a place so feared by men of the sea that it doesn't even exist on the maps. ungekürzt.

    No Joy: A Recon Marine's Tales of (Self) Destruction , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 553min
    Picked up by a larger publisher: as a consequence; the retitled, second, and final edition of the cult hit, Spent Shell Casings. "Going to war was a finite window to touch the vanquished barbaric world modern reality has so woefully blighted out." Joining the Marines in 2002, David Rose signed up to go fight ... and to go die. On this grim path, rather than finding a violent death, he would find family, purpose, and a brotherhood amid the misfit world of the war fighter. No Joy sees David recounting madcap tales of Muay Thai bouts in seedy garages, a bizarre stint as a street cop, being on the other side of the badge, becoming a veteran of the psych ward, and more. It's an irreverently told story that doesn't just tell one man's tale, but speaks to the necessary question: What really draws modern young men to war? ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Shades of the Soul , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 201min
    Regardless of your, sex, color, race, or creed, you will find something in my stories you can identify with. Although purely fictitious, these are situations or events individuals may encounter in their lifetime.As beautiful souls, sometimes our lives can be blighted or blessed by situations or events. The moral in most of my stories is that "the music of life" will take on different themes, rhythms, and moods; however, throughout the highs and the lows, as individuals, we should carry on and learn from each and every experience. More importantly, the key message is that "life" is like a "beautiful rose", but you must be strong when you find some thorns, because a "rose" always comes with thorns. The soul is strengthened through life experiences, love, happiness, trials, suffering, and through it all, we build character, gain wisdom, and fundamentally develop into more wholesome individuals.  ungekürzt.

Gideon is set to wed his sweetheart, Jancis, but he incurs the wrath of her father, the cruel and scheming self-proclaimed wizard Beguildy. An act of vengeance by Beguildy makes Gideon reject Jancis and tragedy overwhelms them both.

    Unapologetically Feminist
    In her powerhouse collection, Unapologetically Feminist, poet Urvashi Bundel fights against the ravaging wildfires of misogyny, racism, and global social injustice with her own starbright flame. She travels the world in line after feverish line-observing, reporting back, and crying out for change. "The girl must eat / And the hyenas too. / In a fight to gather firewood, / She returns burned again from the bushes, / This time with the title of witch," the poet says. In so many of the places she goes, a woman of color with a strong, independent mind is too often vilified-her rights singed, her reputation covered in soot. Capitalism and imperialist wars only throw more fossil fuels onto this fire that blazes through one drought-blighted country after another: "How a nation gets auctioned / For sugar / And how tears become / Cheaper than onions." Sometimes you have no choice but to fight fire with fire. In Unapologetically Feminist, Bundel rises like a phoenix to prepare the way for the new green growth that unfurls from these smoldering embers, the smell of smoke blossoming in her hair.
