Mary Queen of the Scots - The...

Laurel A. Rockefeller

Queen Mary Stuart was one of the most beloved and controversial women in Scottish history. The granddaughter of King James IV and his wife Margaret Tudor, Queen Mary's status as heiress-apparent to Queen Elizabeth's throne in England paired with the violence of the Scottish Reformation set the stage for one of the most dramatic and poorly understood lives of the 16th century. Mary Queen of the Scots tells Mary's true story, focusing primarily on her reign as queen of Scotland, celebrating her life more than her death and showing us all why she was truly a woman ahead of her time. 
Features period music and a special music appendix expertly performed by Steven Vox.

Spid the Spider Investigates a...

John Eaton

It’s Easter time. Spid is excited about chocolate eggs and a very special cake – until he notices that carrots and lettuces are vanishing from his vegetable patch. How could they just disappear? Is there a vegetable thief at work? As he investigates, Spid must be as cleverley as Cleverley Evaleigh to solve the mystery. But can you solve the mystery before Spid in this fun Easter book for kids?This audiobook features two songs: 'We're Sorry' and 'Wabbit'. You can also find music videos of the songs at https://spidthespider.com and https://www.youtube.com/spidthespider. Spid is a lowly spider, who wants to better himself, write songs, and marry his girlfriend Bid, though he is prone to hilarious mishaps mostly of his own making. He is hard-working, cool, and a role model for young children. As well as encouraging children to read and love books, Spid's adventures also teach valuable life lessons, including determination and what psychologists call a 'growth mindset' (desire to better oneself and succeed), the importance of friendship, and sustainability. With very creative prose, Spid's adventures are fun for parents, and teachers to read to, and with, their children. They present lots of opportunities to invest dramatic licence thus helping adults and children interact and engage. The humour works at multiple levels from silly and slapstick to more sophisticated wordplay and concepts. Thus, children will discover more and enjoy reading the stories multiple times.

The Galactic Federation of Light...

Christopher Allen

THE GALACTIC FEDERATION OF LIGHT
Book 3 of 6 The Shattered Prophecy
This is the third book in the series and the plot is as follows:
Five years after defeating the Void King, the fragile Galactic Federation of Light discovers an ancient prophecy in the ruins of Kareth-Vor—the "Shattering," a dimensional collapse unleashing unspeakable horrors. The key lies in the Heart of the First Ones, an artifact buried on the ice planet Morvain-7.
The Zorathians want to weaponize it, the Elurians to destroy it, and the fanatical Cult of the Void seeks to use it to resurrect their dark god. A Federation task force races to secure the Heart, but the Cult ambushes them in the tomb. The Veiled Prophet, their leader, activates the artifact—only to reveal a terrifying truth:
The Heart is a beacon for the First Ones, the galaxy’s ancient creators, who observe from beyond the rift. Their judgment looms—not as allies, but as cold arbiters of civilization’s fate.
The Federation survives the battle, but now faces an existential question: Can they prove their worth to the gods?
This is the third in a series of six audiobooks, the others will become available in the very near future and I do hope you enjoy this first instalment, only $3!
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, a fast paced modern beat that gets you ready for the out of this world story. The closing music ends the tale on a dark foreboding beat anticipating the next instalment.
The story itself runs to about 15 minutes and is narrated in my own voice.
