  John Davys Beresford was born on 17th March 1873.  His life was blighted by infantile paralysis which left him partially disabled. 
   
  After an education at Oundle school he trained to be an architect.  However, he quickly decided that his life was to be centred on a literary career.  His first offerings were in drama and as a journalist. 
   
  As well as being a book reviewer for the Manchester Guardian he contributed to New Statesman, The Spectator, Westminster Gazette, and the Theosophist magazine The Aryan Path.   
   
  His spiritual journey in early adulthood had claimed him as an agnostic, in defiance of his clergyman father.  This view he later abandoned in preference to describing himself as a Theosophist and a pacifist. 
   
  As well as many novels, many themed with spiritual and philosophical elements.  Beresford was also a gifted short story writer particularly across the science-fiction, horror and ghost genres. 
   
  All of these elements helped him to obtain a prominent place in Edwardian Literary London. 
   
  John Davys Beresford died on the 2nd February 1947. He was 73.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Born in the crushing poverty of Las Víboras, Mateo "El Corto" Villareal carved an empire from dust and blood. From an abused boy to a logistical genius for the ruthless Sonora Federation, his ambition knew no bounds. When the old guard crumbled, El Corto seized his chance, founding the Durango Norte Cartel and revolutionizing the global drug trade with audacious tunnels and unparalleled cunning. 
  But his meteoric rise bred deadly enemies – rival cartels, his own treacherous family, and the relentless DEA Agent Kiera Hayes. Two legendary prison escapes cemented his myth, but also tightened the net. Now, betrayed by his most trusted compadre and facing American justice, can the Tunnel King escape the ultimate cage? Or will his bloody reign end in a concrete tomb, a forgotten echo in the unending narco war? "El Corto" is a hard-hitting crime saga of power, betrayal, and the devastating cost of an empire built on shadows.

  Cashmere Blake is Hollywood’s newest “It” girl. After 3 years of trying to get in the business, she finally has it all; fame, money and fortune. She gives all of this up to take a break in her humble hometown. But Hollywood is not so easy to let go of its new star. 
  • Cashmere’s manager forces Philip, her costar and on-screen boyfriend, to go with her and pretend they’re going on a mysterious winter vacation in the hopes of getting some publicity for their failing TV show. This causes complications as Cashmere has secretly been feeling something every time she and Philip filmed a scene. 
  • Things heat up when their managers and agencies keep pressuring them to date. It doesn’t help that Philip thinks she’s trying to steal his spotlight, and thus spends his time ignoring Cashmere during their pretend vacation. 
  • Every night, Cashmere watches Philip sleep and imagines what life would be like if he could be just a little bit nicer to her. Cashmere realizes all her musings are futile as Philip hates her! 
  Things get more confusing when it seems as though Philip is finally beginning to open up to Cashmere when he asks for help with his acting skills. Can Cashmere figure out what she feels before their “vacation” ends? Or will their story remain to be another unfulfilled Hollywood love on demand?
