  YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES & JOHN WATSON 
  The case of the lost fireworks and guy. 
  This completely new story I have written involves the 10 year old boys who will be the great detective Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson, his assistant, when they grow up, this is their formative years where they perfect their skills before adulthood on what my appear to be inconsequential subjects, but the principle remains the same. 
  This is just one of an extensive series I will be publishing as audio books in the very near future and I do hope you enjoy this first one, and its only $1.25 cents, all subsequent will remain at that price as I would not like price to be a barrier to your enjoyment. 
  I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, a violin Holme's musical instrument of choice and is energetic and the closing music ends the tale on a more restrained mode and only about 1 minute. 
  The story itself runs to about 7 minutes 30 seconds and is of course a short story, it is read in my own voice. 
  The story starts on 4th November 1895 in the grounds of Buckingham Palace and it discovered that all the fireworks and the guy ready for the next day's night celebrating Guy Fawks (who nearly blew up the houses of parliament on 5th November 1605 along with the members and Charles 1) had gone missing. 
  Queen Victoria herself had organised the celebration and it would have been extremely embarrassed to have to cancel with all the aristocrats and members of the royal family and their children expecting a spectacular affair. 
  Needless to say Holmes solves the mystery, returns the fireworks and guy to the Queen and the event is a great success. The Queen summons Young Sherlock Holmes and John Watson to express her great gratitude to them.

  After a bad day at work, accountant Dave Smith has one too many at the bar. A seemingly normal traffic stop later that evening rips him away from his wife and kids and into servitude. He has been drafted into Megacorp Greenrock Solutions’ newest business venture. A core of mercenaries established to provide a service for the purpose of killing for profit. 
  These aren’t just any mercenaries. Greenrock built a lab to genetically enhance their assassins, giving them super-human strength and increased capacity for violence. Unknown to their captors, the enhancements also give them the ability to join their minds together into a collective. 
  Greenrock’s deeds have attracted the attention of law enforcement, however. There are a group of detectives putting the pieces together and closing in on Greenrock. 
  Dave and his band of enhanced conscripts are also using their shared mind to work out ways to free themselves. 
  The lab’s directors will use any means to protect their investments. In many ways they are more vile than the assassins they produce. 
  Is this a fight anyone can win?

  Inspired by real events, Affections is the story of the eccentric, fascinating Ertl clan, headed by the egocentric and extraordinary Hans, once the cameraman for the Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl. Shortly after the end of World War II, Hans and his family flee to Bolivia to start over. There, the ever-restless Hans decides to embark on an expedition in search of the fabled lost Inca city of Paitití, enlisting two of his daughters to join him on his outlandish quest into the depths of the Amazon, with disastrous consequences. 
   
   
   
  Set against the backdrop of the both optimistic and violent 1950s and 1960s, Affections traces the Ertls's slow and inevitable breakdown through the various erratic trajectories of each family member: Hans's undertakings of colossal, foolhardy projects and his subsequent spectacular failures; his daughter Monika, heir to his adventurous spirit, who joins the Bolivian Marxist guerrillas and becomes known as "Che Guevara’s avenger"; and his wife and two younger sisters left to pick up the pieces in their wake. In this short but powerful work, Hasbún weaves a masterfully layered tale of how a family's voyage of discovery ends up eroding the affections that once held it together.
