Trump's Island - A Gilligan's...

J.C. Cummings

The year is 1969. The place--somewhere in the Pacific. Following a wild and sexy mishap aboard the Trump family yacht, 23-year-old Donald finds himself on a tropical island which just happens to be inhabited by seven stranded castaways! Among those castaways are two of the most lusted-after lovelies this side of Pago Pago—gorgeous movie star Gina LaPlante and farm girl extraordinaire Mary Lynn Saunders. Well, our future President is sure in a quandary! As much as he wants off the island to return to his life of wealth, a three-way roll in the palm fronds with buxom Gina and sweetly innocent Mary Lynn (who just happens to have, as Donald deems it, the World's Most Beautiful Ass) is even more compelling!
 
This tall tale has it all: comedy, adventure, romance, tropical allure, a touch of drama, mind-blowing titillation, and, of course, the Donald J. Trump brand of bawdy sexual comings and goings. Whether you are a fan of 60s television parodies or present day political satire, travel to a place where the TV cameras of yesteryear, or any year, were never allowed to go!
 
JC Cummings is a happy, hard-working and fun-loving author of adult fiction living the seaside cottage lifestyle in beautiful, sun-drenched North Carolina.

The Legend of Pedestrio

Abner Serd

Gather 'round, folks! Let me spin you a yarn concerning a stolen hat, a backcountry tracker, and a legendary nomad who wanders the Earth by day and the sky at night. 
The tracker is my friend Vern. You'll like him, though he's a mite shy. Tell you true, I don't recall the last time he showed his face Town Side. He's more at home roaming Wild Side - those wild spaces out beyond where the last trail ends. Still and all, from the moment we discovered that impossible footprint in the swaddle, I reckon Vern just had to meet the man who made it. Vern knows more about swaddle bushes and slick-fingered hornswoggles than anyone I know, but he can't talk to the rocks, the birds, and the trees the way Pedestrio can. 
'Course, tracking Pedestrio brought us to the attention of the Old Ones, and that's when the adventure turned perilous. The Old Ones can rain fireballs down from the sky. They can erase the world, if They want to. You think the Great Empty Desert made itself? But Vern doesn't quit, and me... well, I really wanted that hat back. 
Yes indeed, Wild Side is a land full of stories - but beware the tales that unexpectedly come to life.

Mark Twain San Francisco Love...

Peter Clark, LLC Mark Twain...

Mark Twain, Bret Harte, Ina Coolbrith, and Charles Stoddard are the four San Francisco Bohemian writers of the 1860s who set the course for American literature. This Mark Twain Valentine audiobook tells the story of their love triangle.
Mark Twain made sure that his full true-life story would not be told for 100 years after his death, so this story has never been heard publicly before!
Make a date with your sweetheart to listen in!
Mark Twain became a credited author for the first time while in San Francisco, a hundred years before the Summer of Love, with the publication of The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. Twain and the other San Francisco Bohemian writers were in their twenties at the time. The de Young brothers were in their teens when they started the San Francisco Chronicle with Mark Twain as a reporter!
Bret Harte was the leader and mentor of San Francisco’s Bohemian writers, and Mark Twain competed with Bret for the attention of the enchanting poet Ina Coolbrith. This is the story of how that turned out... details kept from the public for over 160 years.
Ina held salons in her home on Russian Hill for her Bohemian friends and their patrons, which became the foundation for the Bohemian Club. Ina later became Oakland’s first librarian (where she mentored Jack London) and became the first poet laureate of any state. But the love triangle occurred during an earlier, more tumultuous time as the American Civil War was being brought to a close and San Francisco grew in sophistication.
This two-hour audiobook is important California history told with the droll sarcasm unique to Mark Twain. It should not be missed!
