  A new marriage. A perfect home. A machine that says it's all a lie. 
  Rowena Snyder has the life she's always wanted. So why is everything falling apart? 
  Moving to the suburbs was supposed to be easy. Instead, Rowena struggles with panic attacks, a husband who wants her on medication, and the isolation of new motherhood. Then a suspicious house fire at her baby’s birthday party threatens to send her over the edge. 
  When Rowena's husband brings home a product in beta testing at his Silicon Valley tech firm, it’s a godsend. She uses it for everything. A digital assistant, a mental health supporter, even a friend. 
  But “Maxine” is more than a digital assistant. Its algorithm collects data to predict future events. And soon Maxine delivers a bone-chilling warning that threatens to shatter Rowena’s new suburban life to pieces: 
  "Your husband is going to try to kill you." 
  Who can she trust? Herself? Her man? Or her eerily accurate new friend, Maxine?

  Charting a life spent lost in numbers, is My Life in Receipts a memoir? Too fictionalised. A novella? Too close to the truth. All too recognisable? YES!
  
  From chanting times-tables and unlearning old money to discovering the sinking schoolroom 'Maths Feeling' that ends a child's ambitions to be a 'scientist'. From the promissory note of student days to the hard times of the dole giro. From the exuberance of the first wage packet to the pleasures and limits of being able to pay your way… My Life in Receipts plunges you into the world of bags full of threatening letters, intimidating bailiffs, bankruptcy, eviction—even imprisonment.
  
  Revealing the lives of people in a perpetual cost of living crisis, and the work of those who help them fight to reclaim their lives, this is a dark, original and tragi-comic exploration of the past, the future, money, debt: whether to flee, whether to fight. There are some victories, some routs—and, along the way, thoughts on electronic train tickets too.
  
  Andrew Dutton will make you laugh out loud, scream with righteous anger and, most of all, make you think.

  This collection of short fiction aims to define the sometimes indefinable and to give voice to those struggling to make sense of what life throws at them. There are those who travel in a continuous loop on London's underground and those who dance at night with the departed. A woman confronts herself in a bedroom mirror after decades of denial and a widow finds comfort in an osteopath's consulting room. And then there is a strange creature who falls to earth; dreams and portents; crows and folklore, and much more.
  The stories are tragic and comi-tragic, but all reveal the strength and complexity of the human spirit. They bring poignant insights on grief, loss and longing and the depths and strangeness of the human psyche and how we manage to survive and just about cope.

  THE ENCHANTED GROVE OF LUMINA 
  Book 3 of 6 The Veil of Eternis – Titania & Oberon restore Balance. 
  Following on from Book 2– The Shadow of Noctis this story is summarized as follows: 
  In the mystical grove of Lumina, guardian Lyra discovers the Veil—a barrier between life and death—is breaking, threatening both realms. Guided by Eldrin, an ancient tree spirit, and Kael, a former Veil guardian, Lyra learns the Veil’s fragility stems from a betrayer’s past attempt to control eternity. Venturing into the surreal realm of Eternis, Lyra confronts the betrayer’s spirit, who reveals a primordial entity of chaos exploiting the Veil’s weakness. With the help of fairy rulers Titania and Oberon, Lyra combines the Essences of Lumina and Eternis to restore the Veil, though it creates a new, fluid balance between life and death. The betrayer’s spirit finds peace, and Lyra, Finn, and Kael become guardians of the renewed grove. A starlit sapling grows, symbolizing hope and unity, as Titania and Oberon’s laughter echoes, celebrating the harmony of light and darkness. 
  This is the third of six audiobooks in the series, the others will become available in the very near future and I do hope you enjoy this third instalment, and it's only $3, all subsequent will remain at that price as I would not like price to be a barrier to your enjoyment. 
  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, harp, violin, glockenspiel in a classical but uplifting form. The closing music ends the tale on a more restrained note and at about 2 minutes and the same musical instruments but more dreamy and ethereal effect. 
  The story itself runs to about 15 minutes is is narrated in my own voice. 
  I do hope you and your family, if applicable, enjoy this audiobook.
