Narrated by Lou Hecker Run Time: 5 hrs and 36 mins Summary: A series of odd little short stories. Additional comments: 1st story ends kind of abruptly but it’s also oddly satisfactory. The 2nd story isn’t exactly about a good guy. 3rd story is not satisfying. Bad guy gets away. 4th story is set in…
Narrated by Carrie Coello Run Time: 4 hrs and 34 mins Summary: Amira and Lex take on a case of creepy haunting (minus the creep factor). Additional Comments: I think the series has potential, but many times in the book, I got the “nothing is happening” vibe. Maybe it was a missing sense of danger….
Narrated by Mikael Naramore Run Time: 13 hrs and 7 mins Summary: Jim’s got an evil twin running around doing evil twin things. Additional Comments: once again, Jim and Electra doesn’t think or talk like a 16 year old boy, but it’s still a fun series. (i.e. Afianced. Negligee. Efficacy. Panache.) It does wear that…

Band: The Crane Wives Summary: A collection of folk, indie music. I’m not well-versed in the genre, but the music is pleasant sounding, even if not all the stories are cheery. Individual Songs: Nothing at All – Kind of a reflective piece. Maybe a little bit about meaning of life. I Talk in My Sleep…
Narrated by Jenny Hoops Run Time: 7 hrs and 41 mins Summary: Government girl, Louise Pearlie, wants to help her friend Rachel escape Vichy France ahead of the Nazis. Somebody in her office drops dead and somebody else swipes the file that could potentially save her friend’s life. Additional Comments: I’ve only heard book 4…
Band: The Crane Wives Summary: Another collection of folk, indie music. Vocalists have nice, smooth voices. Lyrics are a tad hard to understand to one more used to instrumental. (I tend to tune stuff out if I’m doing anything but listening to the words). As with most music, not always a happy tale but heartfelt….
Narrated by Kristina Fuller Yuen Run Time: 8 hours and 49 mins Summary: The fairy land is destroyed so they go into exile on Earth, but that’s not ideal. They devise a plan to harness the imaginations of children to create a new homeworld in The Never. Additional Comments: Maeve’s voice is awesome, but oy,…
Introduction and Background: I recently had the privilege and opportunity to travel out to Michigan and record my three inspirational Christian poetry books. Each book has 82 poems. I have no idea how I ended up with that number. Book 1: Thin Black Road (free ebook) is composed completely of poems that are also songs….
Narrated by David Angelo Run Time: 5 hrs and 12 mins Summary: Mike and Joe get a job that should be easy. Watch a guy named Hamid, but things get more complicated quickly.
