  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
   
  From their pens to your your ears.

  Galileo Galilei believed in the power of scientific observation over traditional ideas. His close study of the night sky helped support the theory that planets move around the sun. His defiant personality made him powerful enemies. This graphic biography covers Galilei's life from his early work with projectiles to his revolutionary look at the cosmos. It also depicts the backlash to his bold ideas and his trial under the Inquisition.

  My Cosmic Brain

  My story is about a man in his seventies, a pseudo scientist who has his brain removed from his skull and placed inside a lab aquarium - the 'Manaquarium' so that they can study his consciousness. (FYI - They removed Einstein's brain but only checked out his basic anatomy and found that he had way more glial cells than the rest of us - what a waste.)  In this case, they get a bit further down the road.  Our hero, Henry has made it his life's goal to learn more about the connections of the human soul to the rest of the vastness of space/time.  Freed from the constraints of all of his biological functions, his mind is able to go where no man has gone before.   
  So - in the Think Tank and connected to the Super Lepton Collider, the upgraded Webb and Hubble Telescopes and the Very Large Array, Hank is able to discern something that appears to be the 2nd Big Bang! If you thought the first Big Bang was all there is, you have a huge shock in store for yourself.  As it turns out, they're going on all over the place and sometimes, they even collide into one another and cause havoc over large sections of the universe. 
  This is also a love story that connects the reader to the meaning and purpose of Cosmic Consciousness but in a completely new way - it's Science.    
  All of this plays out against the background of our planet on fire and all life on Earth on the verge of extinction - even the oceans catch fire - (taken from actual recent headlines.) But cruising closer to the 2nd Big Bang with the aid of Jeff Bezos and his new Space company - everything works out in the end and all of human life becomes justified at last - but in a slightly different and higher context than the way we justify ourselves at the present..   
  I don't want to give away the ending. I'm hopeful that I've done Arthur C. Clarke and Kurt Vonnegut proud.

  19 Years Old – And So Damn cheeky is an explicit, provocative, and deeply sensual audiobook about temptation, lust, and the dangerous thrill of forbidden desire. Told from the perspective of a married man in his late thirties, the story follows how his dull, routine marriage is shaken when a young, self-confident au pair enters his home. 
  What begins as innocent glances and playful smiles quickly spirals into a secret world of fantasies, hidden encounters, and overwhelming lust. The au pair embodies everything he feels he has lost—youth, passion, freedom—and she knows exactly how to play the game. 
  This is not a story about innocence. It is about the hunger for what is forbidden, the lust that blurs boundaries, and the choices that can destroy a family. With explicit language and vivid erotic scenes, 19 Years Old invites adult listeners into a world of seduction, secrecy, and raw desire. 
  A daring and unapologetic work of German erotica, written and narrated by Kris Sinnlich, this audiobook is intended for mature audiences only (18+).

  In moments of profound reflection, I found myself immersed in a timeless tale that resonates deeply with the essence of "Five Good Years." This book delves into the intricate tapestry of women's lives, particularly during the pivotal years between 30 and 35, where dreams, societal expectations, and biological realities intertwine. 
  Through the lens of a woman from biblical times, who endured twelve years of isolation due to affliction, "Five Good Years" illuminates the modern woman's struggle with fertility pressures and societal expectations. It seamlessly weaves together ancient wisdom and contemporary narratives, offering a beacon of hope and resilience to those navigating life's intricate pathways. 
  As you journey through the pages of this book, my deepest wish is for you to discover solace in the realization that your worth and journey transcend societal norms and biological timelines. "Five Good Years" is not just a story; it's a testament to the courage, wisdom, and intentional living that defines us all. May it inspire you to embrace your unique journey and find joy in every moment that shapes your life.
