  Xavier "Scarecrow" Wallace, a mixed-race MMA fighter on the wrong side of thirty, is facing the fight of his life. Xavier can no longer deny he is losing his battle with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), or pugilistic dementia. Through the fog of memory loss, migraines, and paranoia, Xavier does his best to stay in shape by training at the Philadelphia gym owned by his cousin-cum-manager, Shot, a retired champion boxer to whom Xavier owes an unpayable debt. 
   
   
   
  Xavier makes ends meet while he waits for the call that will reinstate him after a year-long suspension by teaching youth classes at Shot's gym and by living rent-free in the house of his white father, whom Xavier was forced to commit to a nursing home. The progress of Sam Wallace's end-stage Alzheimer's has revealed his latent racism, and Xavier finally gains insight into why his Black mother left the family years ago. 
   
   
   
  Then Xavier is offered a chance at redemption: a last-minute high-profile comeback fight. If he can get himself back in the game, he’ll be able to clear his name and begin to pay off Shot. With his memory in shreds and his life crumbling around him, can Xavier hold on to the focus he needs to survive?

  🎈 The annual Sky High Festival in the picturesque town of Aero Vista is a colorful spectacle of hot air balloons, but the celebration turns to tragedy when the lead pilot—a charismatic but ruthless businessman—plummets to his death in a suspicious balloon collapse. The accident is blamed on a faulty burner, but festival organizer and part-time balloonist Skye Hawkins notices the evidence doesn't add up. The sabotage was subtle, clever, and clearly the work of an expert. As the prime suspect due to a public feud with the victim over the festival's future, Skye must get her investigation off the ground to clear her name. With help from her adventurous dachshund, Nimbus, and a quiet balloon mechanic with a keen eye for detail, Skye uncovers a sky-high stack of suspects. From a rival pilot accused of stealing routes and a disgruntled former employee to a secret investor with everything to gain, everyone has a motive for clipping the victim's wings. Can Skye piece together the clues before the killer cuts another cord and sends her dreams crashing down?

  YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES & JOHN WATSON 
  The case of the missing Shetland Pony. 
  This completely new story I have written involves the 10 year old boys who will be the great detective Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson, his assistant, when they grow up, this is their formative years where they perfect their skills before adulthood on what my appear to be inconsequential subjects, but the principle remains the same. 
  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, a violin Holme's musical instrument of choice and is energetic and the closing music ends the tale on a more restrained mode and only about 1 minute. Even so only $1.25 for your enjoyment. 
  The story itself runs to about just under 7 minutes and is of course a short story, it is read in my own voice.The story involves the the disappearance of a Shetland Pony called Buttercup belonging to the young daughter, Florence, 0f a the Duke & Duchess of Belgravia who lived in a mansion near Hyde Park in London in the late 1900's and Holmes uses his powers of deduction and observation to track down the pony to a gambling man who almost sold the poor creature to pay off his debts.. Needless to say Holmes solves the mystery, recovers the pony to Florence and her parents delight, with aplomb and goes onto his next case. 
  The stories are designed to be entertaining to children of approximately the same age around 10 years old due to the characters involved. 
  I do hope you and your children, if applicable, enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!
