The Gender Divide - Fractures in a Portland Marriage

Andrea Klein

Sinopsis

In Portland, a city celebrated for its progressive ideals, Ethan and Olivia Hayes appear to have it all. Their minimalist home, filled with carefully curated art, reflects their outward success. But beneath the surface, a subtle tension simmers. When Ethan unexpectedly loses his job and becomes the primary caregiver for their daughter, Maya, the fault lines in their marriage begin to crack.  He navigates the unfamiliar terrain of toddler tantrums and the subtle emasculation of Portland’s hyper-progressive parenting circles, while Olivia thrives in the high-stakes world of corporate law, her ambition pulling her further away from her family.As Ethan struggles with his changing identity, he finds solace in an unlikely friendship with Annette, a fiercely independent artist whose murals expose the raw realities of the city.  Meanwhile, Olivia is captivated by a charismatic client, Joel, whose attention offers a dangerous escape from the pressures of her demanding career.  But Ethan’s discovery of a hidden family secret, tied to Olivia’s grandmother, a forgotten architect whose career was tragically derailed, threatens to shatter their carefully constructed world.Caught between the intoxicating power of her career and the unraveling threads of her family history, Olivia faces a stark choice.  Can she confront the ghosts of the past and fight for a future she may not even recognize?  As a torrential Portland rainstorm mirrors the tempestuous emotions raging within them, the façade of their progressive marriage collapses, exposing the deep-seated gender divide that has insidiously shaped their lives.  Ethan and Olivia must confront the painful truth: their utopian ideals have masked a deeper, more insidious reality.  Will they find a way to rebuild, or will the weight of their secrets shatter their world beyond repair?

All on Film - Secret Cinema...

Juliette Lovelace

For her, cinema has always been more than art—it’s an addiction, a passion, a place where fantasy and desire blur into one flickering frame. By day, she’s a brilliant film scholar devoted to the study of light, sound, and story. By afternoon, she slips into a darkened arthouse theatre, where the real performance begins. 
What starts as a private ritual of pleasure and solitude turns into something far more dangerous when she realizes she’s not alone. A man—a projectionist with eyes that seem to see through the shadows—has been watching her from the booth. And when the reels stop and the lights dim, he steps into her secret world and makes her part of his own. 
Together they discover the most forbidden kind of cinema: the kind you don’t just watch—you live. Their passion plays out between screens and shadows, between the thrill of anonymity and the risk of exposure, until every kiss, every moan, and every frame becomes part of their own film. 
A sophisticated, sensual journey through voyeurism, desire, and obsession, All on Film: Secret Cinema Liaisons is a love letter to the dark side of art—and the places where fantasy dares to come alive.

Deadline - Cherringham Episode...

Matthew Costello, Neil Richards

When the lifeless body of crime journalist Tom Pinder is fished out of the river near Jack's barge, it seems that the hardened old drinker may just have had one too many...and accidentally slipped to a watery death. But Pinder's young colleague doesn't buy that explanation, and asks Jack and Sarah to investigate. As they dig deep into the stories that Pinder was working on, Jack and Sarah soon discover that he had made some very dangerous enemies prepared to stop at nothing to keep a dangerous truth buried.

Set in the sleepy English village of Cherringham, the detective series brings together an unlikely sleuthing duo: English web designer Sarah and American ex-cop Jack. Thrilling and deadly - but with a spot of tea - it's like Rosamunde Pilcher meets Inspector Barnaby. Each of the self-contained episodes is a quick read for the morning commute, while waiting for the doctor, or when curling up with a hot cuppa.

Co-authors Neil Richards (based in the UK) and Matthew Costello (based in the US), have been writing together since the mid-90s, creating innovative content and working on major projects for the BBC, Disney Channel, Sony, ABC, Eidos, and Nintendo to name but a few. Their transatlantic collaboration has underpinned scores of TV drama scripts, computer games, radio shows, and the best-selling mystery series Cherringham. Their latest series project is called Mydworth Mysteries.

The narrator of the audiobook, Neil Dudgeon, has been in many British television programmes including the roles of 'DCI John Barnaby' in 'Midsomer Murders' and 'Jim Riley' in 'The Life of Riley'. He is also known for his film roles in 'The Nativity', 'Sorted' and 'Son of Rambow'. In 2012 Dudgeon starred as 'Norman Birkett' on BBC Radio 4's Afternoon Play series written by Caroline and David Stafford.

The Long Ago

Michael McGarrity

Growing up in Montana, siblings Raymond and Barbara Lansdale held their chaotic world together through their shared childhood fantasy of The Long Ago: a distant place where happiness and tranquility reigned, far from the dysfunction at home. But imagination only goes so far. To escape his painful past, Ray joins the army and finds a career that gives him a sense of purpose and the promise of adventure. 
 
 
 
Recent news of his kid sister's disappearance brings Ray home on leave before beginning a stateside assignment almost certain to send him back into the jungles of Vietnam. Determined to find Barbara despite a police investigation that has led nowhere, Ray embarks on a relentless search that takes him from the majestic Montana ranchlands and glitter of Hollywood to the mean streets of LA and beyond. As time dwindles, he must confront his worst nightmare. What if Barbara's search for The Long Ago ended in a shallow, unmarked grave, not in the carefree life she'd once so longed for and imagined? 
 
 
 
A spin-off from McGarrity's nationally bestselling Kevin Kerney family saga, The Long Ago is a richly crafted and enthralling story of grit, determination, and the enduring, restorative strength of love.
