  After a long streak of avoiding murder investigations, Dublin limo driver Megan Malone thought her life had finally settled . . . but even her Irish luck can't keep her out of trouble forever. 
   
   
   
  It's been over a year since Megan found herself entangled in a murder—much to everyone's relief, including her girlfriend Jelena and Detective Paul Bourke. So when a body of a young woman quite literally lands in her lap at her favorite Dublin café, Megan tries to do the right thing and leave the crime-solving to the police so she can enjoy the St. Patrick's Day weekend. After all, she has no connection to the victim. Or does she? 
   
   
    
  Megan's latest client, world-renowned romance novelist Claire Woodward, is fascinated by Megan's own history of catching killers. Claire also just happens to be the murder victim's literary mentor. So maybe Megan can just sort of stay on the periphery of the case while trying to help out? Just a wee bit without causing too much fuss? Even Detective Bourke would approve since he has personal reasons not to trust Claire. The investigation leads Megan to the victim's writing group, who think that Claire has plagiarized the poor young lady's work. And when another member of the group is found dead, Megan will have to step up her sleuthing before the killer decides to write her off for good.

  K. C. Constantine returns with the long-awaited final chapter of his saga of the Rocksburg Police Department. 
   
   
   
  The police force of Rocksburg, Pennsylvania, doesn't see a ton of action. With jobs and industry moving away from the small city outside Pittsburgh, Detective Ruggiero "Rugs" Carlucci's greatest adversaries are his negligent vacation-prone fellow officers and an older divorcee who has a habit of dancing naked on her back porch when she stops taking her medication. Retirement is on the horizon for Rugs, and the Vietnam vet is counting the days until he can move on from the job. 
   
   
   
  But Rocksburg isn't going to let Rugs drift off to retirement without a fight. Before he can neatly wrap up his career, Rugs will face a mad shooter, a vengeful city councilman, and, most perilously, his own mother. 
   
   
   
  With a supporting cast of characters painted through uproarious profanity and heart-wrenching confessions, Another Day's Pain is a bold and darkly funny novel about crime and the damaged souls it leaves behind.

  Carmilla - Unabridged

  Sheridan Le Fanu

  Predating Bram Stoker's "Dracula" by twenty-five years, Sheridan Le Fanu's "Carmilla" is one of the earliest examples of vampire fiction; a Gothic novella narrated by a young girl who becomes a victim of the title character, a female vampire named Carmilla.   The plot centers on Laura, an English girl living in Austria with her father, a retired and wealthy widower. As a child, Laura had dreamed of a nocturnal visitor, a phantom-like young woman who stole into Laura's room and drew blood from her. Years later, when a carriage accident outside their home causes Laura and her father to take in the survivors of the accident - a woman and her daughter - Laura is stunned to discover that the daughter is identical to the young woman in her dreams.    As their friendship (and stirrings of romance) begins to grow between the two young women, people around Laura (and eventually Laura herself) begin to suffer from ill health. When the symptoms are recognized as those of a vampire attack, the stage is set for a showdown between Carmilla and the fearsome vampire hunter Baron Vordenburg.    Originally serialized in the literary magazine The Dark Blue from 1871-72, Le Fanu published the full novella in 1872 as part of his story fiction collection "In a Glass Darkly" and the story has since become of the most popular horror stories in literature. "Carmilla" is often cited as an inspiration for "Dracula" and many other horror classics. It is presented here in its original and unabridged format.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Cassie was a little girl who took every word literally and couldn't understand why she was 'welcomed to my coun- try' every day at school. Asked to leave and be home-s- chooled, her nana, Tina, enlisted the help of her friend Rewsta Hately, and he rewrote the rainbow serpent story for Cassie to draw. 
  Meanwhile, Tina stumbled into the dark web when trying to make sense of how we are all being WOKED by left-wing political leaders and the ABC into believing our culture is inherently bad. Rewsta realized our cultural heritage was also being attacked and willfully discredited by well-funded right-wing activists and progressives. 
  Rewsta's retirement village neighbours, known as the 'Second Marooners, were up to no good, led by the bullying and greedy manager, Myra Mindil. Rewsta came to believe that not only were our rights being abused but, in his potentially lethal retirement village, pride and democracy had already been vanquished. 
  Just when he deserved a peaceful retirement, his fight for Cassie's rights and the antics in the village drew him into a world of intrigue and the unbelievable betrayal of our constitutional monarchy's foundations.
