  The Picture of Dorian Gray - A...

  Dorian Gray is young, wealthy, and extraordinarily handsome. When his portrait is painted, he makes a fateful wish—that the image will bear the marks of age and corruption while he himself remains forever young. The wish is granted, and as Dorian plunges deeper into a life of excess and moral compromise, the portrait begins to change in ways both disturbing and profound. 
  While Dorian’s outward appearance remains untouched by time, the hidden image records every sin, every cruelty, and every secret. Trapped between pleasure and conscience, he is drawn into a psychological struggle that questions the true cost of beauty, vanity, and unchecked desire. 
  First published in 1890, The Picture of Dorian Gray is Oscar Wilde’s haunting masterpiece—a gothic and philosophical novel that explores identity, morality, and the danger of living without restraint. Elegant, unsettling, and timeless, it remains one of the most influential works of classic literature. 
  Perfect for fans of gothic fiction, literary classics, and psychological drama, this audiobook invites you to listen closely—and look beneath the surface.

  A woman growing up in a family of Russian immigrants in the 1910s seeks a thoroughly American life. 
   
   
   
  Yelena is the first American born to her Old Believer Russian Orthodox parents, who are building a life in a Pennsylvania Appalachian town. This town, in the first decades of the twentieth century, is filled with Russian transplants and a new church with a dome. Here, boys quit grade school for the coal mines and girls are married off at fourteen. The young pair up, give birth to more babies than they can feed, and make shaky starts in their new world. However, Yelena craves a different path. Will she find her happy American ending, or will a dreaded Russian ending be her fate? 
   
   
   
  In this immersive novel, Zuravleff weaves Russian fairy tales and fables into a family saga within the storied American landscape. The challenges facing immigrants—and the fragility of citizenship—are just as unsettling and surprising today as they were 100 years ago. American Ending is a poignant reminder that everything that is happening in America has already happened.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  YOUNG BLACKBEARD THE PIRATE  
  THE PORT OF BRISTOL 1690 
  Book 1 of 6 – The Great Spud Cannon Battle 
   
  In late 1680s Bristol, young Edward Teach and his crew of adventurous kids—Israel, Benjamin, Charles, and Anne Bonny—embark on a daring spud cannon battle against a rival crew aboard The Salty Pickle, their weathered fishing boat. Edward, a natural leader, commands his team with precision: Benjamin’s spud cannons, Charles’s water bombs, and Anne’s fierce screams give them the upper hand. After a fierce battle, they defeat The Rusty Anchor and celebrate their victory. Edward dreams of future adventures, knowing this is just the beginning for his loyal crew, bound by friendship and a shared thirst for adventure.  
   
  This is the first of six audiobooks in the series, the others will become available in the very near future and I do hope you enjoy this second instalment, and it's only $3, 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, accordion, fiddle, harmonica and bango in a classical sea shanty jig called Edwards Journey”(through this story). The closing music ends the tale looking forward to the next story at about 2 minutes long and the same musical instruments and is called Edwards Voyage (to the next story). Blackbeard's real name was Edward Teach.  
   
  The story itself runs to about 13 minutes is is narrated in my own voice.  
   
  I do hope you and your family, if applicable, enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!
