Sinossi

Elderly Londoner Augustus has lived a long, miserable life.  Having driven his few remaining loved ones away years ago, he now whiles away his time drinking rum and hoping for the end.
 
 
 
One night his death wish is nearly granted by a mugger, but a local youth called Michael intervenes.  Much to the old man's horror (and fascination) Michael promptly begins to devour the mugger's body.
 
 
 
Slowly, Augustus and his mysterious saviour form an unlikely friendship, one built on sharing the gifts of trust, camaraderie, and acceptance.
 
 
 
And one last gift: a secret.  It is the cause of Michael's cannibalistic nature.  And, perhaps, a reason for Augustus to go on living…

    Description:
    The day Tina Crawford was born, her father tried to drown her.
    
    Her grandmother stopped him — and raised her for five years, before Tina's parents came to reclaim her. Not out of love. They needed someone to watch her brother.
    
    For years, Tina was told that her brother was her security. That family was everything. That a girl's worth was measured in how much she gave and how little she cost. She almost believed it.
    
    Then she watched her cousin Dana — brilliant, gentle, and completely betrayed by the people she'd sacrificed everything for — die at twenty years old.
    
    After that, Tina had one goal: get out. Through every exam, every stolen hour of study, every small act of survival, she built the only foundation that couldn't be taken from her.
    
    Herself.
    
    Raw, devastating, and ultimately triumphant, *The Only One Who Could Save Me* is a story about what it takes to reclaim a life that was never really given to you.

    Before the Agency came Delta. 
    Before Delta was the Army Rangers. 
    That’s where Jason Trapp was made. 
     
    Iraq, 2007. It’s the height of the insurgency. The roads are almost impassable. IEDs kill American soldiers every single day. Tens of thousands of fresh troops are pouring into the country, and they’re barely holding the line. 
     
    But after dark, Delta Force, SEALs and Rangers are starting to turn the tide. Every single night, Trapp is out with them, kicking down doors and taking names. 
     
    Now there’s a new threat. 
     
    American hopes in Iraq rest on control of the skies. Her enemies know that, Iran chief among them. But when countries quarrel, it’s soldiers who do the fighting. 
     
    And sometimes one man shapes a nation’s course. 
     
    The Dust Storm novella takes Jason Trapp right back to the start. He wasn’t always the CIA’s most feared asset. But he was always the Hangman. 
     
    Adapted from the novella and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music! 
     
    Performed by Terence Aselford as Narrator, Wyn Delano as Jason Trapp, and Chris Stinson as Sikorski. Also with Elias Khalil, Nora Achrati, Zoleka Vundla, Scott McCormick, Bradley Foster Smith, Terence Aselford, Matthew Pauli, Michael John Casey, Christopher Williams, Ken Jackson, Keval Shah, James Konicek, Tyler Hyrchuk, Steve Wannall, Drew Kopas, Christopher Walker, Jonathan Church, Eric Messner, Matthew Bassett, Karen Novack, and Oliver Jackson.

    Just as Maya thinks she can relax into recovery and a budding romance with a demon general, the afterlife throws her a curveball. 
     
    The Grim Reaper who saved her wasn't just locked away—he was erased from existence. 
     
    What starts as a rescue mission quickly becomes a masterclass in magical bureaucracy, inter-realm politics, and one seriously unhinged plot twist. 
     
    Join Maya again as she blogs her way through enough supernatural shenanigans to short-circuit reality.
