A wonderful selection of classic Christmas poetry from G. K. Chesterton, Henry Vaughan, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Robert Burns, Lord Tennyson, and many more.

When you're a space pirate sailing between stars and planets with nobody telling you where to go, you can always take a detour, especially when opportunity presents itself in the form of possible lost treasures from ancient civilizations, and a way to get through permastorms that have locked the galaxy's greatest powers out of...whatever lies beyond, for thousands of years. That's the situation that Captain Bonny Red of 'The Red Spark' finds herself in when she wins an ancient harmonic electron map off of a less than ethical gambler during a routine run of supplies and personnel to an ...

For Speranzi Jadara, the paladin archer and Commander of the Black Quiver mercenary company, it was supposed to be a simple job. Escort a merchant on his journey into a neighboring region, ensure his safety, and come home alive. But for the devotee of the gods of mankind and veteran of the war against the Demon God, Damaxa, nothing ever goes as planned. After encountering Skana, a bold brigand made hard bitten by her life as a peasant, and razor sharp by her life disguising herself as a man to hide her identity from her teachers among the raiders, Speranzi Jadara's whole world turns upside ...

The rising tide of the House of Aiwenor has swept away some, while others on board with it have seen themselves rise to new heights. But the even floods must ebb and fight against the dams built to bar the way forward. Ahead of Nua, the Red City, fallen Komestra, prepares to rise again, its armies reformed, its power renewed, her promise... all but fulfilled. Her promise though, was not her ambition. To rule one city is good, to rule them all? Better. And so the wars begin, with sides being taken and armies on the march, new strategies are needed, and old allies from home must be introduced...

The struggle for power has created challenges that even for all her preparations, Nua could not have planned for. There are always unknowns, always enemies, and sometimes? Sometimes even the strongest of people need to turn to for help. To that end, she welcomes Gottfried Jadara, the firstborn son of the Mother of Terror with a delivery of enchanted equipment meant to give her members of the faith an edge over all others. There are however, levels upon levels, layers upon layers to her motives, as Gottfried represents not only her greatest hope, but also her greatest fear. If her budding ...

Victory brings with it many burdens, who to trust, who not to trust, who will betray, who will refrain from betraying... and why? Nua strives to win the hearts of those whose bodies she possesses, the fear of those in her way, and the faith of those closest to her, but challenges from beyond from the ever watchful orchestrators of the careful balance of Mict'aratz are not an idle bunch. Enemies lurk in shadows, and the hunt for a stolen life so trivial that she once did not even have a name, turns everything on its head.

All Bonny Red wanted to do was land on a world, harvest some fruit to ferment it into alcohol, and be on her way. That... and just walk around and stretch her legs on a planet instead of her ship for a little while. She wasn't 'supposed' to get stuck on the planet. She wasn't supposed to land off course. She wasn't supposed to get caught up in an iron age massacre. She certainly wasn't supposed to take a side, let alone lend a hand. But faced with the desperation of a dying people, the fierce former scout turned pirate Captain cannot turn away. Which is a pity... for the wrong side that is,...

Fiction, poetry, and music come together to create something new: Verb. Original stories and poems you won't find anywhere else, by the best writers in the country, brought to you in an innovative format. Verb is the ancient oral tradition and the venerable literary magazine combined into a fresh new package: the audioquarterly.

Conspiracies and conspirators lurk in the shadows of the past in the city of Pas'en, their tendrils reaching out to all of Central Mict'aratz, and the activity of the House of Aiwenor continues to stir them to life again. The gathering storm continues to build as bonds of love, hatred, iron, and bronze draw the agents of change and stability alike into a conflict that not everyone will survive.

No plan survives contact with the enemy. This truism of war remained true in politics as Nua Calen Aiwenor carries out the duty into which she has been entrapped. Tasked with escorting the consort of the Prince to the heart of the empire of God-Emperor Ax'ayact as a sacrificial tribute, she faces the majesty and savagery of the Tlalmok Empire in all its might. Behind her, Kaiji, Priceless, Diana, Sado, and Lodira all face challenges of their own as alliances are formed, fates are changed, and blood is shed. By the end, in the land of Mict'aratz, where life is short and brutal and even the ...

Money cannot buy life, and science has its limits. So when a man of great wealth can use neither money nor science to save the life of the only family he has left, he turns to the only option left. The magic of fairies. But Fae magic comes with a heavy price full of heartache and loss that very few have the strength to bear. Or so Rowena, the fairy who parts the way between worlds to answer his call, warns him. Novice that she is however, she does not account for the cleverness of the human wishmaker. Shenanigans ensue that will alter the fates of two lives, then three, then a dozen, and ...

Hi. My name is Kayobi Taida, and I am an assassin, no, not one of those piddly little human assassins. I'm an alien, an assassin on a galactic scale. My job is to exterminate dictators who get too big for their britches and decide that ruling one world just isn't enough. I stalk them, eliminate them, and then get paid. It's pretty easy for me, since I'm a 'swapper' what you might call a 'shape shifter' and my people are the only ones in the galaxy known to have magic power. But this isn't 'that' story. Not for the most part. These are the stories of my days off, my vacations, the little ...

Short of conspiracy, there is nothing so uncertain as war. But Nua Calen Aiwenor, now General of 'The Breakers' and ruler of a grand estate, is ready for that gamble. Her disruptive actions have garnered the attention of forces both malevolent and benign. The Princes of other city-states and the shadowy figures at their command, as well as the eyes of Queen Vexia of Da'nak, ruler of the Sacred City, architect of the balance of power and the living descendant of an ancient God. Demonic temper clashes with assassin calm amidst a world on fire with threats in all directions, including a hate ...

Long before Sgt. Lefty and the Camp Waterlogg gang took over, The Comedy-O-Rama Hour residents were parody versions of mysteries (Sherlock Holmes), old-time radio ( The Shadow, The Lone Ranger, etc.), sci-fi ( Willoughby and the Professor), superheroes (Teaman and Polfroon), and more. The original scripted Comedy-O-Rama came to a conclusion in 2008, a victim of the SiriusXM merger. In 2012, Joe Bev revamped The Comedy-O-Rama Hour.

In the first anthology of its kind, Robert Olen Butler and Phong Nguyen assemble an astounding collection of stories that cause listeners to contemplate war, peace, and social justice in a new light. The fourteen stories featured in this volume explore the varied and often unexpected outcomes of violence. The authors explore the tragedies that occur closer to home—not on military battlefields but rather in places that are never meant to be battlefields, like schools and churches. The fiction reveals the violence that renders our most sacred and seemingly safest of places vulnerable.

Rev. Dr. Peter Pereira and Rev. Robert Butler talk about the scriptures from a practical perspective to help everyone come to know, grow and go (serve) God. Peter and Bob have been following the Lord for years and want to share their experiences with God, His Son and The Holy Spirit with everyone.

A visionary and poignant audiobook centred around former newspaperman Sam Cunningham as he prepares to die, Late City covers much of the early twentieth century, unfurling as a conversation between the dying man and a surprising God.
