Moonshadows Dancing on the...

Hoang Nguyen

At the water's edge of Mirrorlake, where moonshadows dance in nymph reflections and poets verse longings into soul mirrors, nymph Aqua reflects in bard Ewan's poetic gaze, drawing her from liquid solitude to shore-bound passion. Their dance, shadowed in ripple vows, mirrors the hearts—or distorts them in illusory waves. As they waltz along shadow-laced banks and verse-rippled depths, lured by mirror sirens and rhyme wardens, Aqua's fluid grace blends with Ewan's worded soul, revealing a lake legend of reflected verse. When a clouded moon summons ripple phantoms, they must dance the reflection to clear the mirror. In the sway of moonshadow dances, where every ripple holds a verse and every shadow kisses the light, their love becomes the reflection that binds water and word.

Jupiter Rising - Book 3 of 6 -...

Christopher Allen

JUPITER RISING – THE CELESTIAL CHRONICLES
Book 3 of 6 The Nebula's Trial
This story is summarized as follows:
In The Nebula's Trial, Captain Minerva Voss leads her crew into the Horsehead Nebula, following clues from the centaur Chiron to uncover an ancient secret. They discover a cosmic junction linking Jupiter to the nebula, where the Abyssal—Europa's deep-sea civilization—reveal the truth: Jupiter's storms contain Arion, a centaur-like energy being guarding Nyx, a sentient black hole imprisoned in Jupiter's core. When the Syndicate attacks with a quantum harpoon to enslave Arion, Minerva psychically bonds with the guardian, witnessing its memories—including Earth's role in Nyx's imprisonment. Arion sacrifices itself to destroy the harpoon, transferring its knowledge to Minerva before dying. The Syndicate's cryptic message, "Project Ixion is ready," hints at their plan to free Nyx. As Jupiter's storms intensify, Minerva realizes the true scale of the threat—and her destiny as a guardian of cosmic balance.
This is the third of six audiobooks in the series and I do hope you enjoy this third instalment, and it's only $3.
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 1/2 minutes and prepares you for the start, synthesizer, bass and cymbals in a soul/funk form. The closing music ends the tale on a darker tone and at about 2 minutes and the same instruments, genre and industrial/fearful mood but with more caution added.
The story runs to about 15 minutes and is narrated in my own voice.
I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, more to come!
