  Joy Rising is not a memoir about a perfect life. It’s a collection of stories from a real one. 
  With humor, candor, and hard-won grace, Carolyn Pistone explores joy not as a personality trait or a spiritual bypass, but as a practice–one that can co-exist with trauma, grief, injustice, aging, anger, pleasure, and hope. 
  In this audiobook, you’ll travel across continents and across decades. You’ll meet dancers and prisoners, foster children and veterans, strangers and lovers. You’ll encounter joy in hospital rooms, protest lines, bedrooms, boardrooms, and ordinary Tuesdays. You will see how joy can be reclaimed after loss, defended in the face of cruelty, and shared as an act of resistance. 
  Joy Rising doesn’t promise easy answers or constant happiness. What it offers instead is companionship, perspective, laughter, and the reminder that joy is not something you earn–it’s something you are. 
  A fierce, funny, and deeply human exploration of joy as survival, resistance, and birthright–told by someone who has lived it!

  Six weeks before her eighth birthday in May of 2024, my granddaughter Paige Schilling was diagnosed with a brain tumor. 
  Paige underwent a 14-hour brain surgery at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The tumor was successfully removed and Paige began a lengthy period of rehabilitation.  
  During this time, Paige received so many gifts from friends and family that her father considered renting a storage unit. Instead of giving her another stuffed toy, I decided to write letters to Paige. The letters describe real events from my own life beginning from a time before television existed. 
  The letters introduce Paige to members of her extended family, including aunts and uncles (my six brothers and sisters), her great-grandparents, and even her great-great-grandparents.  
  The episodes celebrate the adventure ride of just being a child in a large entertaining family.

  Euphemia Lamb was painted and sculpted by many renowned artists during the period before the First World War, such as Augustus John, Henry Lamb, Ambrose McEvoy, Jacob Epstein and James Dickson Innes. She was at the vanguard of modern British art. She was also a literary muse for many leading writers of the period, including Virginia Woolf, Henri-Pierre Roche and Aleister Crowley.
  
  
  Euphemia was the embodiment of the modern woman: sexually liberated, hard-working and ambitious. She used her connections in bohemian London and Paris to educate herself and advance the notion of what a woman could be in early twentieth-century British society. Euphemia was a pioneer who broke down barriers and her legacy survives in art and literature.

  War Dog - Breaking the chains

  One man’s fight against inner demons, ISIS and the Australian justice system.  
   
   
  As a young man Jamie Williams went to war. Not on a battlefield but with the French Foreign Legion. And against ISIS. Most of all, within himself. But this is not the story of a victim, nor is it his redemption. This is his riveting account of making choices, taking accountability, and doing it in some of the most dangerous places on earth. 
   
  War Dog is not just a story of war - it's a story of what leads someone to war, and what happens when they come home to find the real fight has only just begun. 
   
  Jamie Williams is a former Legionnaire of the French Foreign Legion and former foreign fighter of the Kurdish YPG who played a direct role in the liberation of Raqqa, Syria. He is the only documented Australian known to have taken part in the fall of ISIS's de facto capital. His story was featured in the ABC's Four Corners documentary City of Ghosts, and he has since written publicly about his experience, including an opinion piece for The Saturday Paper that marked his entry into writing. Arrested and charged under Australia's anti-terror laws for attempting to join the fight against ISIS, Jamie was ultimately cleared - but not before enduring solitary confinement, media scrutiny, and years under federal surveillance. 
   
  Raised in Australia under the long shadow of childhood trauma, Jamie's life spiralled through addiction, violence, and incarceration before he clawed his way out through discipline, purpose, and a growing need to stand for something greater than himself. 
   
  Told with brutal honesty and hard-earned wisdom, War Dog is Jamie's first-person reckoning with trauma, addiction, brotherhood, betrayal, and survival. It charts the full arc of a man forged by fire - through childhood wounds, brutal military training, frontline combat, wrongful prosecution, and the long, quiet battle to become a better father, partner and man. 
   
  This isn't about medals or headlines. It's about the moments no one sees: dragging a friend's body under gunfire. Sitting in solitary after trying to do the right thing. Holding your child while wondering if you'll be arrested tomorrow. 
   
  But this is not a victim's story. It's not a redemption arc. It's a challenge. A promise. A fire still burning.
