Show Time - A Tattoo Artist's Story

Pym Avery

Show Time is a true story which found its roots in the answer to the question, 'how did the author get into tattooing', which she fielded from almost every person that she met. The book travels the backroads of Europe in the 1980s and 90s as a young woman chronicles her relentless determination to find scraps of information, loopholes and chinks in the armor of the male-dominated secretive world of tattooing where females were not welcome or encouraged. Eventually she makes her way to a place on the wild and colorful international rollercoaster that was the evolution of tattooing as an artform during that time and becomes one of Europe's trailblazing, award-winning female tattoo artists. The book follows the rise of the popularity of tattoo art during the 1990s and its transition from the shadows into the mainstream of modern culture pre internet and social media. Written for a wider audience, Show Time provides an inside look at the shadowy ways of the tattoo Old School and gives the reader an understanding of the process of tattooing from the professional side.

The Earth-Child in the Grass and...

Katherine Mansfield, A. M. Bly

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
The Earth-Child in the Grass and Other Poems presents twenty of Katherine Mansfield’s most luminous and intimate poems in a carefully crafted audio edition that honors both their lyric delicacy and emotional depth. Written with Mansfield’s characteristic sensitivity to childhood, memory, solitude, and fleeting moments of perception, these poems reveal a lesser-known but deeply resonant side of one of modernism’s most beloved writers.
This collection includes A Little Girl’s Prayer, The Lonesome Child, Very Early Spring, When I Was a Bird, The Quarrel, The Earth-Child in the Grass, and fourteen other poems that trace the inner landscapes of innocence, longing, and quiet wonder. Mansfield’s poetic voice—simple on the surface, profound beneath—comes alive through attentive narration and thoughtful interpretation.
Each poem is accompanied by an original spoken analysis, offering insight into Mansfield’s imagery, themes, and emotional nuance, while preserving the subtlety of her art. The poems are narrated by AI Voice Willow, whose clear, gentle delivery reflects the intimacy and restraint of Mansfield’s verse. The project is directed by A. M. Bly, who also composed and performed the original piano underscore for each poem. The music does not intrude but moves alongside the poetry, enhancing mood and atmosphere with restraint and grace.
Designed for listeners who cherish literary depth and reflective listening, this audiobook offers a contemplative experience in which poetry, analysis, and music are woven into a unified whole—an invitation to listen closely, linger, and rediscover the quiet power of Katherine Mansfield’s poetry.
