    May I Call You Mistress? is the first book in the spicy lesbian romance series entitled An Awakening of Desire, and is a winner of the LESFIC BARD AWARDS EROTICA NOVELLA of the year. 
    If the woman who filled your teenage sexual fantasies walked back into your life seventeen years later, more beautiful and bolder than you thought possible, would you be able to resist? 
    In this steamy sapphic romance, professional photographer Abby Mason's world turns upside down when a last-minute job reunites her with Victoria Fraser - her sister's former piano teacher and her teenage crush. Their age gap means nothing now that they're both adults, but Victoria's involvement in the BDSM lifestyle opens Abby's eyes to possibilities she never imagined. As their second chance at connection unfolds, Victoria introduces Abby to a world of dominance and submission, where trust and consent are as crucial as desire. 
    When Victoria makes it clear that the right to call her your "Mistress" must be earned, Abby finds herself drawn deeper into a journey of sensual discovery. Their explicit FF encounters grow more intense as Abby explores her submissive nature under Victoria's experienced guidance. But in this sophisticated lesbian romance, nothing is simple - Victoria has exacting standards, and Abby must prove herself worthy of surrender. 
    Filled with passion, tension, and the delicate balance of power exchange, "May I Call You Mistress?" is an unforgettable sapphic erotica audiobook that delves deep into what it truly means to trust, submit, and ultimately love, and is the gateway into the full sensual An Awakening of Desire Series. Perfect for listeners who enjoy their romance with a dash of dominance and a helping of heart.

    Same Ground - Chasing Family...

    “Read him.” — George Elliott Clarke, author of I & I and George and Rue
    		 
    An award-winning author goes looking for the meaning of family and belonging on a glorious wild-goose-chase road trip across middle America
    		 
    Wangersky’s great-great-grandfather crossed the continent in search of gold in 1849. William Castle Dodge was his name, and he was 22 years old. He wrote a diary of that eventful journey that comes into the author’s hands 160 years later. And typically, quixotically, Wangersky decides to follow Dodge’s westward trail across the great bulging middle of America, not in search of gold but something even less likely: that elusive thing called family.
    		 
    What ensues becomes this story, by turns hilarious and profound, about a very long trip — by car, in Wangersky’s case, and on mule and foot in Dodge’s. Interweaving his experiences on the road with Dodge’s diary, the author contemplates the human need to hunt for roots and meaning as he — and Dodge — encounter immigrants who risk everything to be somewhere else, while only glimpsing those who are there already and who want to hold onto their claim in the stream of human migration.
    		 
    Same Ground is a story about what time washes away and what persists — and what we might find, unexpectedly, if we go looking.

    This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Indonesian.  
    In Unit 1 you will hear Indonesian decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
    Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Indonesian speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
    By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Indonesian. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Indonesian at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Indonesian, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
    In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.

    Subtitled "A Study Concerning the Mystery Schools," this is a practical guide for those who wish to avoid the many pitfalls that can occur on the path of discipleship. It also shows how enlightenment is earned by personal dedication to a spiritual code of conduct. 
    FROM THE PUBLISHER 
    The Philosophical Research Society is a nonprofit organization founded in 1934 for the purpose of assisting thoughtful persons to live more graciously and constructively in a confused and troubled world. The Society is entirely free from educational, political, or ecclesiastical control. Dedicated to an idealistic approach to the solution of human problems, the Society's program stresses the need for the integration of religion, philosophy, and the science of psychology into one system of instruction. The goal of this instruction is to enable the individual to develop a mature philosophy of life, to recognize his proper responsibilities and opportunities, and to understand and appreciate his place in the unfolding universal pattern. 
    ABOUT THE AUTHOR 
    Manly P. Hall was the founder of the Philosophical Research Society. In over seventy-five years of dynamic public activity, he delivered more than 8,000 lectures in the United States and abroad, and authored countless books, essays, and articles. In his lectures and writings, Manly Hall always emphasized the practical aspects of philosophy and religion as they applied to daily living. He restated for modern man those spiritual and ethical doctrines which have given humanity its noblest ideals and most adequate codes of conduct. Believing that philosophy is a working tool to help the individual in building a solid foundation for his dreams and purposes, Manly Hall steadfastly sought recognition of the belief that world civilization can be perfected only when human beings meet on a common ground of intelligence, cooperation, and worthy purpose.
