They say there’s a man who doesn’t stay long. A doctor with no license, a name that changes like wind, and eyes that reflect too much moonlight. Where he walks, pain quiets. Fever breaks. The broken breathe again. But he never asks for thanks. And he never stays for sunrise. Some call him a monster. Some call him a miracle. He’s both. And neither. Because Richard Jinnings doesn’t run from his curse— he carries it like penance.

Black Violet is more than a detective agency. It’s the last defense against mysteries that rewrite reality. Run by three women bound by fate and fractured timelines, the agency unravels cases whispered through forgotten letters, broken timepieces, and photographs that shouldn't exist. Across ten interconnected investigations—each darker than the last—Dakota, Brooke, and Alice confront ghosts both literal and metaphorical, uncovering a conspiracy of erased identities, buried legacies, and a force that’s been archiving their lives before they were even born.

Beneath war-torn Europe, a vampire cabal begins devouring history—rewriting the legacy of humankind’s greatest minds into immortal propaganda. Ink fades. Names vanish. But one time traveler refuses silence. He journeys through fractured time to summon four literary titans: Edgar Allan Poe, Mary Shelley, H. P. Lovecraft, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Together, they form a covenant to fight the vampiric apocalypse—not with swords, but with words. As stories unravel and alternate selves threaten to consume them, these authors must decide: Can memory survive when monsters control the pen?

Tony Rossi was an Italian kid growing up on the streets of Chicago in the 1920s. His father is sick; his mother is working herself to death to care for three children, yet all Tony can think about is becoming an entertainer, an actor, a Star!

In a world where ghosts are goofy, mischievous, and sometimes heartbreakingly human, one mismatched trio of investigators has spent their days wrangling vending machines, haunted camp counselors, and sentient foot-ticklers. But when a forgotten town beckons from the edge of memory—a place where time folds in on itself and even the living forget they exist—they’re pulled into a final confrontation with something ancient, hungry, and familiar.

What if the future remembered you before you were born? Vera was never meant to lead. Crafted from Anthemis legacy and buried code, she was designed to obey—until she chose not to. Now, in the ashes of Sulen’s war-torn vaults, whispers of her final stand echo across the galaxy.

This book is more than a memoir. It’s a journey, a true journey where at times Tim had nothing more than faith to get him through three failed marriages, homelessness, battles with churches, and fighting with demons (not the imagined ones). This is a journey that you must listen to to believe.

With these great representatives of comedy, Dan Leno need not fear comparison. In petticoats, and as a representative of various women of the lodging-house and slavey Class, he would have beaten Jimmy Rogers at his own game. When we see Dan Leno as a woman, and hear his delightful patter, it never strikes us that it is a man imitating a woman. 'It is a woman who stands before us, the veritable Mrs. Kelly, not a burlesque of the sex, but the actual thing. He catches every expression, every trick, every attitude, every in?

Cash Hollow is where I grew up; it was an unusual place. We were surrounded by hills on each side of the road, with offshoot veins of other roads crisscrossing throughout the hollow. Animals were like something from the prehistoric age, from giant box turtles to otters; it was wild, but most of all, it could be scary. It was dark without any overhead street, lamps, or even guardrails to keep a car from tumbling down mountainous ravines; it was a magical, treacherous, spooky place to grow up, and I loved it.

Rico is a small, pale man, but he has guts, endurance and a steely single-mindedness. When Vettori sends the gang out to rob a local nightclub, Rico shoots a cop who pulls a gun on him. They get away, but Vettori is shocked. He had told Rico, no gunplay. That’s when Rico realizes that Vettori has gone soft. He’s too old to control the gang anymore. So Rico takes over.

Set in the world of Tim Simpson's Noir series, this gritty post-WW2 audiobook. See Sgt. Kind called into duty to hunt down an escaped Adolf Hitler who has settled on and island and formed a new army to unleash in the world.

This book does fall into the same universe as my other series of books I call the Noir series. In those books you can hear about the gritty world of detectives, reporters, and gangsters. Well, that world exists here as well except here you have men and women who are willing to work outside of the law on both sides to get a job done. Whereas the other books focus on the aforementioned detectives, private and otherwise, here the focus is more on the ones that hide who they are.
