My Seinfeld Year

You’d know Fred Stoller if you saw him. He has appeared on practically every great sitcom you’ve ever seen―Everybody Loves Raymond, Friends, and Murphy Brown just to name a few. But he has never been a regular on a series, always the guest star. He longs to find a showbiz home. Instead, he is a television foster child, shuttling from show to show in the vain hope that one will finally agree to keep him. My Seinfeld Year tells the hysterical and bittersweet story of what happened when Stoller finally got a shot at the showbiz stability he’d always dreamed of―as a staff writer on one of the biggest television shows in history.

Enter the Era of Empowerment: Self-Sovereignty in a Complex World

Today’s world offers opportunities to express our personal power in ways never before possible in all of human history. The truth is that we now have access to spiritual and technological tools that allow us as individuals to affect global consciousness in a flash. With these tools we are gifted with a sacred task and responsibility – to become aware of, accept and embrace a new definition of personal power. Welcome To The Era of Empowerment: John Jones is a brilliant teacher of discernment. In this book he describes ways by which we can most effectively develop our personal power and apply our self-sovereignty to transform the world. This book defines which factors either increase or limit our personal power. The reader is guided to clearly understand how they co-create their own lives and the world as a whole, and how they can apply their influence in the most discerning and effective way. Enter the Era of Empowerment offers a complex change in world view, uncovering the silver linings clouded by our past misperceptions. For example, we: • Understand how we are being pushed toward something better by devastating situations • Learn the hidden benefits of global stress • See how relationship dynamics are profoundly effected by changing our core beliefs • Understand the dynamics of disempowering emotions and how to transform their toxicity • Learn what has been previously misunderstood about karma • Learn about social identity management and how deeply-rooted judgment/control cycle patterns hinder discernment and progress • Recognize why a fully-functioning root chakra is the crucial element necessary to transform contemporary events • Emerge with authentic personal power through the attainment of self-sovereignty Through John Jones pristine guidance, we begin opening our eyes to a new level of discernment – a comprehensive perspective of life which is supportive of positive world transformation and attainment of enlightenment. This level of discernment offers freedom from old illusions and outdated patterns of control so that we can evolve to act in loving-power and in a radically new, highly productive way – a principle that Jones eloquently defines as Self-Sovereignty. Enter the Era of Empowerment: Self-Sovereignty in a Complex World shows us how to enter this new age of the individual in fully conscious power without falling back into limiting modes, of individual or collective karmic patterns. We are navigating an increasingly complex life experience, rich with opportunities. In so doing we are learning to manage both internal and external past traps and future influences, and thereby becoming sovereign beings. In applying and practicing the elements of Self-Sovereignty, our lives become lighter in challenges and deeper in joy. We move beyond judgment into the divine love of self and others and the world finally becomes our playground.

The New Adventures of Ellery Queen (Ellery Queen Mysteries) (Ellery Queen Mysteries (Audio))

[Read by Robert Fass]

The New Adventures of Ellery Queen is a classic collection of eight short mysteries and a remarkable short novel.

Stories include: The Lamp of God, The Treasure Hunt, The Hollow Dragon, The House of Darkness, The Bleeding Portrait, Man Bites Dog, Long Shot, Mind Over Matter, and The Trojan Horse.

Trick I — The first thing to vanish is a worthless doorstop. Then, in the twinkling of an eye, goes its rich and elderly owner. And, for the grand finale, both reappear — each as dead as the other.

Trick II — From the House of Darkness issues more bafflement. In total darkness and from a distance of twelve feet, four bullets are pumped within an inch of each other into a spectator’s back — a feat utterly impossible to perform yet brazenly and undeniably done.

Trick III — The pièce de résistance. This time it’s an entire house, a real house, a solid house, which Ellery Queen had been in only the day before . . . vanished from the face of the earth. And in its place emerges one of the most incredible conundrums ever to face the master crime solver.

Encores — The New Adventures of Ellery Queen is a classic collection of eight short mysteries and a remarkable short novel. First published in 1940, it has sold more than one million copies and continues to be ”as good as they come” (New York Times).

The Boat Man: A Thriller

Detective Reed Mattox, just three months removed from the death of his partner, has turned invisibility into an art form. Switching to the K-9, taking over the graveyard shift, moving to a farmhouse miles outside of Columbus, his every move has become predicated on putting as much distance between himself and the outside world as possible. That distance is shattered, though, when bodies begin turning up in The Bottoms, the poverty-stricken section of town he is assigned to patrol. Grisly, horrific scenes start to pop up in the middle of the night and the overburdened precinct has no choice but to put Reed on it. Now operating far outside of his comfort zone with a Belgian Malinois for a partner that attracts attention wherever they go, Reed is forced to unravel the murders, taking him clear across the city and back years in time, to an event that some very influential people will do anything to keep buried.

Penmort Castle

Cash Fraser is planning revenge, and to get it he needs the perfect woman. So he hires her. Abigail Butler has lost nearly everything in her life and she’s about to lose the home she loves.

Cash meets Abby, who is posing as a paid escort, and the minute he does he knows he’s willing to pay for more than Abby being his pretend girlfriend. A lot more. Abby needs the money or the last thing that links her to her dead family and husband will be gone. The deal is struck, but both Cash and Abby get more than they bargained for.

Cash realizes very quickly that Abby isn’t what she seems, and while he changes strategies, Abby discovers that Cash’s legacy, Penmort Castle, is like all the tales say – very, very haunted. Making matters worse, the ghost in residence wants her dead.

Abby’s found herself in the battle of her life, so she enlists Mrs. Truman, her nosy neighbor; Jenny, her no-nonsense friend; Cassandra McNabb, white witch and clairvoyant with a penchant for wearing scarves (and lots of them); and Angus McPherson, dyed-in-the-wool Scot (which means he hunts ghosts in a kilt) to fight the vicious ghost who has vowed that she will rest at nothing to kill the true, abiding love of the master of Penmort.
