  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Set in a post-COVID Britain, Jápa: The Great British Migration Lottery (2020-2025) is a sharp, satirical novel that dissects the absurdity of the UK's modern immigration system. The narrative positions the UK Home Office as a malevolent puppet master, an exploitative bureaucracy orchestrating an elaborate, ever-shifting "lottery" for aspiring migrants. Driven by a self-serving economic logic, this system transforms the pursuit of a better life into a costly, protracted endurance test, characterised by soaring visa fees, the escalating Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS), and arbitrary policy changes. As the migrants gamble their futures on these unpredictable laws, their quest for home becomes an absurd, tragicomic theatre. This captivating and symbolic story offers a compelling commentary on hope, belonging, and the unbreakable human spirit tested by the harsh realities of bureaucratic caprice.

  In this funny Regency romance series, the Shackleford sisters descend on a Regency society that doesn’t know what’s hit it… 
  Prudence Shackleford had not expected to be a spinster at three and twenty, but unfortunately, as she’d quickly discovered, very few men were prepared to tolerate either her ghoulish sense of humour, or her macabre taste in literature. And those were the ones she’d got as far as holding a conversation with. 
   
  When invited to London by the Duke and Duchess of Blackmore to witness the Coronation of King George IV, she was equal parts horrified and intrigued. Especially after a chance meeting with a Bow Street Runner on the trail of conspirators it was feared were planning to murder the King. 
   
  Jamie Fitzroy had been a Bow Street Runner for five years. In that time he’d risen swiftly up the ranks, gaining a reputation for both ruthlessness and guile. Such were his successes in ridding London's streets of thieves and murderers, his name had become almost legendary. 
   
  But in the wake of the Cato Street Conspiracy, he was now on the trail of a gang intending to assassinate the King during his own Coronation. And with less than two weeks to go, and a London packed to bursting, the stakes had never been higher. 
   
  The last thing he had time for was a russet haired chit who was too ripe and ready by half – even if she did haunt his dreams every night… 
   
  Perfect for fans of Regency Romances with wit and humour and a little bit of steam...

  From the author of the Good Morning America Book Club pick Save What’s Left comes a witty and sharp-tongued novel about an actress whose manuscript is thirty-seven years overdue—and the life moments that led to its delay. 
  Maria Astorini, once popular character actress and late-night talk show darling, is having a moment. The B-list actress has survived deaths, divorces, a famous mother, a Hollywood blacklist, a string of public embarrassments, an aging face, financial ruin, an empty nest, a difficult best friend, and a worldwide pandemic. Now, she’s back and bigger than ever. A small, unexpected role has heightened her celebrity status and propelled her, at age sixty-five, into the limelight. And then, along comes the call Maria has spent decades avoiding. It’s her publisher asking, “Where is that book?” 
  Maria knows the world doesn’t need another celebrity memoir. To finally fulfill her contract, Maria writes, or attempts to write, or, at the very least, sends a pile of pages meant to vaguely resemble the book she promised to deliver nearly four decades earlier. 
  In a series of bite-sized anecdotes, she candidly recalls her past, chronicling the significant, and insignificant moments of her full, funny, and extraordinarily unpredictable life. 
  Maria hasn’t been able to write a book about her life—she’s been too busy living it.
