Summary

In "Thoughts of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus," the Roman Emperor and Stoic philosopher presents a profound exploration of ethics, virtue, and the nature of existence. Composed as a personal journal, this collection of meditations offers insights into Aurelius' thoughts during his reign from 161 to 180 CE. Written in a direct and unadorned style, the text captures the essence of Stoicism, encouraging readers to embrace rationality, self-discipline, and acceptance of fate amidst life's challenges. The work is not only a cornerstone of Stoic philosophy but also a reflection of the tumultuous times in which Aurelius ruled, deeply rooted in the historical context of political strife and personal loss. Marcus Aurelius, a Stoic philosopher trained in rhetoric and law, is considered one of the last of the Five Good Emperors. His position in Roman society and his commitment to philosophy undoubtedly influenced his reflections in this journal, blending his duties as a ruler with his philosophical inquiries. Having been shaped by various mentors and the Stoic tradition, his thoughts reveal a quest for personal integrity and wisdom in the face of adversity. I highly recommend "Thoughts of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus" for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Stoic philosophy or looking for timeless guidance on leading a virtuous life. Its enduring relevance resonates with readers navigating the complexities of modern existence, offering a path toward self-improvement and tranquility.

    May I Call You Mistress? is the first book in the spicy lesbian romance series entitled An Awakening of Desire, and is a winner of the LESFIC BARD AWARDS EROTICA NOVELLA of the year. 
If the woman who filled your teenage sexual fantasies walked back into your life seventeen years later, more beautiful and bolder than you thought possible, would you be able to resist? 
In this steamy sapphic romance, professional photographer Abby Mason's world turns upside down when a last-minute job reunites her with Victoria Fraser - her sister's former piano teacher and her teenage crush. Their age gap means nothing now that they're both adults, but Victoria's involvement in the BDSM lifestyle opens Abby's eyes to possibilities she never imagined. As their second chance at connection unfolds, Victoria introduces Abby to a world of dominance and submission, where trust and consent are as crucial as desire. 
When Victoria makes it clear that the right to call her your "Mistress" must be earned, Abby finds herself drawn deeper into a journey of sensual discovery. Their explicit FF encounters grow more intense as Abby explores her submissive nature under Victoria's experienced guidance. But in this sophisticated lesbian romance, nothing is simple - Victoria has exacting standards, and Abby must prove herself worthy of surrender. 
Filled with passion, tension, and the delicate balance of power exchange, "May I Call You Mistress?" is an unforgettable sapphic erotica audiobook that delves deep into what it truly means to trust, submit, and ultimately love, and is the gateway into the full sensual An Awakening of Desire Series.
