Super Sales on Super Heroes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 706min
In a world full of super powers, Felix has a pretty crappy one. He has the ability to modify any item he owns. To upgrade anything. Sounds great on paper. Almost like a video game. Except that the amount of power it takes to actually change, modify, or upgrade anything worthwhile is beyond his abilities. With that in mind, Felix settled into a normal life. A normal job. His entire world changes when the city he lives in is taken over by a super villain. Becoming a country of one city. A city state. Surprisingly, not a whole lot changed. Politicians were still corrupt. Banks still held onto your money. And criminals still committed crime. Though the black market has become more readily available. And in that not-so-black market, Felix discovers he has a way to make his power useful after all, and grasps a hold of his chance with both hands. Warning and minor spoiler: This novel contains graphic violence, undefined relationships/partial harem, unconventional opinions/beliefs, and a hero who is as tactful as a dog at a cat show.

Indelible Link (eBook, ePUB)
Pull back the canvas circus tent flap. Step inside. Cotton candy is a dime. The music begins, the audience hushes in anticipation. The spotlight glimmers on the performers, and the rest of the world melts away as the magic unfolds. Trapeze flyer Tattooed Matilda finishes her signature act one night and seconds later, she's hurtling toward the tanbark floor of the ring. Horribly injured she struggles to make sense of her condition while she grasps at memories of her troubled childhood and life as a star of a rag-tag troupe. Outside her circus family, Matilda remembers one true friend: Lucky Eddie. Eddie is a sardonic, war-scarred, tattoo artist with a monkey called heroin on his back who bestows Matilda's first tattoo when she's a shy, misfit teen. Their seemingly strange friendship deepens over the years, enduring Eddie's battle with addiction and Matilda's craving for tattoos while she chases the intoxicating lure of the spotlight. Theirs is a bond forged in tattoo ink. But the circus tent that has fed Matilda's soul becomes a curtain of unimaginable heartache when tragedy befalls the world she knows and loves and plummets her into a downward spiral that even bright lights, applause, and a new tattoo can't mask. Indelible Link cues up the music for a high flying, wild ride back to the time when the train pulled into town and a traveling circus arrived to promise a magical adventure under the big top.- Shop: buecher

The Newcomer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 543min
In 1737, Anna Konig and her fellow church members stagger off a small wooden ship after 10 weeks at sea, eager to start a new life in the vibrant but raw Pennsylvania frontier. On the docks of Port Philadelphia waits bishop Jacob Bauer, founder of the settlement and father to ship carpenter Bairn. It's a time of new beginnings for the reunited Bauer family, and for Anna and Bairn's shipboard romance to blossom. But this perfect moment cannot last. As Bairn grasps the reality of what it means to be Amish in the New World - isolated, rigid with expectations, under the thumb of his domineering father - his enthusiasm evaporates. When a sea captain offers the chance to cross the ocean one more time, Bairn grabs it. Just one more crossing, he promises Anna. But will she wait for him? When Henrik Newman joins the church just as it makes its way to the frontier, Anna is torn. He seems to be everything Bairn is not - bold, devoted, and delighted to vie for her heart. And the most dramatic difference? He is here; Bairn is not. Far from the frontier, an unexpected turn of events weaves together the lives of Bairn, Anna, and Henrik.
