  Every year, more than a million women find themselves grappling with the devastating loss of a life partner—a loss that shatters their present and leaves their future in doubt. At 65, Margaret Mandell faces this heart-wrenching reality when she loses her husband of 45 years to a fast-moving disease. The bed is now half-empty, her body betrays her, and laughter seems elusive. 
  In the depths of longing and haunted by memories, Mandell embarks on a journey of healing through the written word. She begins to write letters to the man she loved in a poignant process of retracing their shared history. But when a tender-hearted college professor steps quietly into her life and listens attentively as Mandell reads her accumulating stack of letters out loud, her world is transformed in profound and unexpected ways. 
  And Always One More Time is a story that delves deep into the human experience, reminiscent of C.S. Lewis's A Grief Observed in its wisdom and Joyce Carol Oates's A Widow's Story in its suspense. It offers universal truths about love, loss, and resilience, much like Steve Leder's The Beauty of What Remains. With potent and swift-moving words, this book can be devoured in a single sitting. It is a beacon of hope for those navigating the aftermath of the greatest loss.

  "A moving, insightful, and beautifully crafted story of losing one great love and finding another." 
  -- Kirkus Reviews 
  ------ 
   "Margaret Mandell’s AND ALWAYS ONE MORE TIME is a warm, personable memoir of love, loss, and hope. With both its heartfelt epistolary style and friendly, clear reading reflecting the precise, embodied attention of the author’s lifelong yoga practice, Mandell’s text is a reminder that not only frailty and mortality, but also love, lust, and joy, are ever-present, natural components of the human condition."

  Edward Frederic Benson was born in Berkshire, England on 24th July 1867. 
  Educated at Marlborough and Kings College Cambridge he began his career as a writer at an early age and was published whilst still studying. 
  Benson was also a gifted athlete and represented his country at figure skating. 
  His career was prodigious and widely acknowledged.  Perhaps he is best known for his collection of novels about ‘Mapp & Lucia’ which have proved very popular throughout the decades.   
  Benson was also well regarded as a writer of ghost stories—‘spook stories’ in the then vernacular—as well as biographies.  His ghost and supernatural fiction covered a range of subjects but all were exceptionally well-written, drenched in atmosphere, riven with chills and have stood the test of popularity over the decades as testament to his literary talents.  
  Benson was never married and practised his homosexuality discreetly. 
  E F Benson died on 29th February 1940 at University College Hospital, London of throat cancer.  He was 72.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Mythology – An Odyssey in the Ocean of Allegories 
  Book One: The Primeval Constructions 
  Before the gods of Olympus reigned, there was Chaos, Gaia, and the whispered birth of the Cosmos—guided above all by Eros, the god of creation. 
  In this lyrical and philosophical journey through Greek mythology, Tomazo Pagonis reimagines the earliest myths as deep allegories of human consciousness and spiritual awakening. 
  Listeners are led by an imaginary Traveller of Myths, who insists he has truly wandered through the mythological realms. With his voice, we explore the origins of the world, the rebellion of the Titans, and the enduring force of Eros—not as ancient tales, but as timeless symbols that still speak to the soul. 
  A captivating experience for lovers of myth, philosophy, and storytelling beyond time.

  Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
   
  In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
   
  The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
   
  Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
   
  This decade is resplendent with literature and its many prodigiously talented authors who write on as varied a range of subjects as might be thought possible. Yet each is studded with careful literary precision and narrative verve.  It is a remarkable decade.
