Sinossi

2024 Michigan Notable Book 
 
*** 
 
An Immersive Story of Music, Struggle, and Starting Over from an Award-Winning Author 
 
Michael Sullivan is a talented lyricist and a decent guitarist, but since he was kicked out of his band (and his apartment), he's not sure he'll ever get a record deal. Living with his loser uncle in a beat-up trailer and working a dead-end job, Michael has little reason to hope for a better future. Until the invitation for a swanky New Year's Eve party shows up in the mailbox. It's for his uncle, with whom he shares his name, but his uncle is going out of town . . .  
 
On the effervescent night of December 31, 1989--as the Berlin Wall is coming down, the Soviet Union is inching toward democracy, and anything seems possible--Michael will cross paths with the accomplished and enigmatic young heir to a fading musical dynasty, forever altering both of their futures.  
 
Award-winning novelist Erin Bartels enchants with this story of two lonely souls who have exactly what the other one needs--if they could simply turn their focus from what is ending to what is just beginning.

    Isadoran Creed - Book 1:...

    Isadoran Creed is an audiobook series set in the fictional Universe of Gaialuna, where the spiritual center of Nimberia is invaded by the evil Tenecheten Warlord Malgroth. 
    Long the southern lands of Gaialuna had lived in peace under benign Torek leadership. But in recent times, the spirit and unity of the Isadorans has come to dwindle, disturbed by the pervasive force of machines. In their technological addiction, the Isadorans have become energetic shadows of their ancestors, continually tethered to the dopamine rush of Malgroth Tenecheten's digital devices. 
    But the ancient frequencies of Gaialuna are alive in young Selena Torek, daughter of the Isadoran Chieftain. In an act of sonic sorcery, Selena summons the spirit of her long lost grandfather, who recommends a course of action to combat the Tenecheten threat. 
    Follow Selena, Malgroth and the other characters of Gaialuna in one of the first in a genre of ultra immersive audiobooks, that give the illusion of a full cast of voice actors. In fact, all voices have been created by the narrator, and exist in the narrator's original voice, before being converted into the timbre of another consenting actor via AI voice cloning technology. Together with two collaborators, the author/narrator of the book has also created the music for Isadoran Creed, mostly via computer synthesis. 
    The larger aim of the Isadoran Creed is to awaken ancient, primal energies that connect the listener to other Universes via sound. The basis for magic (sonic sorcery) in the series is Neuracle Science, developed during the author's doctoral dissertation, based on Bayesian theories for how conscious energy connects and expands. Stay tuned for part two in the Isadoran Creed as the exploration of magic and consciousness deepens, and the war against the Tenecheten begins.

    Fighter. Misfit. Heart thief. 
    How long can Chadora’s throne sit empty? That is the question on everyone’s mind as they wait for the rightful heir to return for his crown. Patience is not Eda’s strong suit, and she has an idea to speed things along that just might work. The youngest Suttone has found her voice, and now she is determined to be heard. If they will not listen to her words, then she will speak with her sword. It is time to step outside the walls. But first she must get past the only man brave enough to stand in her way. 
    Roul Thornton has a five-year plan and too many secrets. As he guards those within Chadora’s walls, he is acutely aware that the people who need his protection most exist outside of them. At least, that was true right up until he met the youngest Suttone sister. She needs protecting from herself. Eda is fire and heart and wit and trouble—and the biggest threat to his plan. He is about to follow her down a dangerous path. With his loyalties already divided, Roul must ensure his heart remains wholly intact. 
    This is the third book in the medieval dystopian series Kingdom of Walls. If you enjoy heart-racing action, witty dialogue, and a fierce heroine, then this high-drama love story is for you.

    London, 1851. Restless and bored after a long hot summer, apothecary and poison expert Jem Flockhart decides to redesign her physic garden. But plans are thrown into confusion when a man's skeleton is unearthed from beneath the deadly nightshade, a smaller, child-like skeleton curled at its feet. The body bears evidence of knife wounds to its ribs and arms, and is accompanied by a collection of macabre objects: a brass bowl, a curious coin-like token, a set of tiny ivory sculls. 
    The police claim the victim is too long-buried for answers to be found, but for Jem, a corpse in her own garden is something that cannot be ignored. The plans to the garden, laid out some forty years earlier, reveal a list of five names. 
    When Jem and Will start asking questions, the murders begin. Each victim has a past connection with the physic garden; each corpse is found with its jaw broken wide and its mouth stuffed with deadly nightshade. As they move closer to uncovering the truth Jem Flockhart and Will Quartermain encounter a dark world of addiction, madness, power and death that strikes at the very heart of Jem's own history. This time, the poison is personal.
