  A Limited Lawyer

  From debut author Peter Fairchild comes a unique betrayal of a wannabe lawyer. In a story that circles the globe, Greg Mason leads us on an enthralling but bumpy ride to his life as an Australian corporate lawyer. It's an unlikely journey, grounded in harsh childhood realities, shaped by romance and service with Australian corporate regulators, and realised through his fortuitous employment as an in-house lawyer with a wealthy Chinese family. But is Greg intellectually and emotionally suited to the demands of the in-house vocation? Will he embrace his role or succumb to its many pitfalls? The Limited Lawyer is a mesmerising tale of loneliness, rejection, and fate. Yet, it is much more than just the biography of one complex individual. The narrative explores the law enforcement functions of the Australian corporate regulator and contributes to lesser voiced perspectives on the 'hidden-world' of in-house lawyers, where clouds of ambiguity and confusion abound.

  In this unforgettable meet-cute, Samantha Allen traces her story of self-discovery during gender transition and the life-altering partnership that began with a simple hello in an elevator. Feeling “unfinished” at the liminal age of twenty-six, the author had already accumulated decades of emotional baggage growing up in a Mormon family and living with gender dysphoria. When she met Corey midtransition, she felt even more like an awkward shape-shifter. Now Samantha shares how taking a chance on that fortuitous encounter meant having the courage to be herself. Love & Estrogen is part of The Real Thing, a collection of moving, hilarious, and big-hearted essays on the modern realities of friendship, romance, commitment, and love. Each story can be listened to in a single sitting. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Samantha Allen. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/brll/010595/bk_brll_010595_sample.mp3.

Emily Willows is a friend of the family and says that she knows just the person to find him - and, as Summer Lane soon points out, the fact that this also fits in with Emily's plan to set up her very own detective agency is surely just a fortuitous coincidence.But it isn't long before the former detective inspector finds herself on a train heading back to London, and back into situations that she thought she had left behind.

  Lame Brains and Lunatics , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 557min

  Silent Film Comedy was a fortuitous combination of art and technology, where the physical comedy skills and artistry passed down from the Commediadell'Arte, English music hall, and American vaudeville were captured for posterity by the newly created motion picture camera. While the Chaplins, Keatons, and Laurel & Hardys are still remembered and celebrated, this book profiles unsung practitioners such as Billie Ritchie, Marcel Perez, LigeConley, and George Rowe, with special focus on the neglected comediennesAlice Howell, Gale Henry, Fay Tincher, and Josie Sadler. Popular icons onthe order of Mack Sennett, Marie Dressler, Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, and W.C.Fields are re-examined, plus detailed histories of silent comedy teams andkid's comedies are offered. The book also includes selected filmographiesand is lavishly illustrated with more than 225 rarely-seen photographs andadvertising images. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Donny Baarns.

  Fiction, Creative Non-Fiction, and Memoir: An Accidental Life, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 346min

  When I bounced the idea of An Accidental Life off Jim Browne, my financial manager with a keen understanding of the human condition, he said that all of us benefit from serendipity, from the accidental life. (We in fact met by happy accident.) He added that my life was and is typical, or perhaps a tad off the norm. Surely he's correct in that we all benefit from fortuitous events, but I think he's incorrect in saying that such events in my life are typical or normal. I feel quite strongly, and without a scintilla of evidence, that I outrank most other people in both number and impact of life-changing events, or perhaps I am just more aware of them. I'm betting that you'll agree after you hear about the many accidental happenings that shaped my life and, by extension, my writings. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ward Paxton.
