  Kimo's Hawaiian heritage comes to the fore in this deadly investigation 
  Openly gay Honolulu homicide detective Kimo Kanapa’aka and his partner, Ray Donne, are on duty at a rally in downtown Honolulu organized by Kingdom of Hawai’i, one of many competing groups which seek reparations from the US for the loss of land and independence. An elderly woman is shot dead there, only a few feet from where Kimo’s mother and nephews are taking part in the demonstration, and Kimo and Ray take the case. 
  At the same time, Kimo’s dealing with domestic difficulties, having just moved in with his partner, fire investigator Mike Riccardi. Since both are alpha males, the transition to shared living space isn’t easy, especially because Mike’s parents live next door. 
  As Kimo and Mike struggle to adapt to living together, they begin to forge their own ohana—a Hawaiian term which means family, as well as community. The theme of ohana resonates through both Kimo’s personal life and his investigation of the murder as Kimo and Ray follow clues through a labyrinth of competing groups, uncovering a trail of gambling, money laundering, and mental illness. 
  The title refers both to the blood spilled in three murders, as well as the blood ties that link native Hawaiians to each other. People come together in many ways here—through native heritage and family ties as well as love and fellowship.

  H G Wells - A Short Story...

  HG Wells

  Herbert George Wells was born on September 21st, 1866 at Atlas House, 46 High Street, Bromley, Kent. He was the youngest of four siblings and his family affectionately knew him as ‘Bertie’.  
   
  The first few years of his childhood were spent fairly quietly, and Wells didn’t display much literary interest until, in 1874, he accidentally broke his leg and was left to recover in bed, largely entertained by the library books his father regularly brought him. Through these Wells found he could escape the boredom and misery of his bed and convalescence by exploring the new worlds he encountered in these books.  
   
  From these humble beginnings began a career that was, after several delays, to be seen as one of the most brilliant of modern English writers.    
   
  Able to write comfortably in a number of genres he was especially applauded for his science fiction works such as The Time Machine and War of the Worlds but his forays into the social conditions of the times, with classics such as Kipps, were almost as commercially successful.  His short stories are miniature masterpieces many of which bring new and incredible ideas of science fiction to the edge of present day science fact.  Wells also received four nominations for the Nobel Prize in Literature 
   
  Despite a strong and lasting second marriage his affairs with other women also brought the complications of fathering other children.  His writings and work against fascism, as well as the promotion of socialism, brought him into increasing doubts with and opposition to religion.  His writings on what the world could be in works, such as A Modern Utopia, are thought provoking as well as being plausible, especially when viewed from the distressing times they were written in. 
   
  His diabetic condition pushed him to create what is now the largest Diabetes charity in the United Kingdom.  Wells even found the time to run twice for Parliament. 
   
  It was a long, distinguished and powerfully successful career by the time he died, aged 79, on 13th August 1946.

  Alaa The Struggle Between Good...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Alaa was a boy who grew up in the countryside. He never knew a mother’s warmth since he was an infant, but he was raised by a noble and wise man who made him happy despite their poverty. However, this man grew old and became bedridden, forcing the boy and his brothers to carry the burdens of life at an early age. 
  In this story, Alaa did not turn to a magic lamp that grants wishes or a wondrous flying carpet. Instead, he turned to something better: the Gracious Lord and a sincere heart. For if a lamp or a carpet can be stolen, a beautiful heart can never be taken away. 
  In this part of the novel, we focused on the hero drawing strength from reason and wisdom. This is not because fantasy or wonders are bad, but because we wanted to achieve the greatest intellectual and moral benefit that can inspire us in real life. As Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal said: "How much people need a truthful storyteller." 
  Everyone loves entertainment and may tire of direct education, so what if we scattered lessons between the lines of suspense? 
  I wrote this story a few years ago while I was herding sheep, and guidance was close to my heart. So, I freed my pen to draw something that would make me happy. In the end, I was amazed by the result and wanted to share this work, which my family and friends admired. If you want to enter my world and learn more about Alaa, please share your opinion with me—it is very important and means a lot to me.
