Lyrics & Lines by "Carolus"

J.P. Parkinson

Written under the pseudonym "Carolus", Lyrics & Lines is a book of poems written, probably circa 1890 - 1900, as a gift to one he had loved and lost. 
Love, Humour, Moralisation and the Macabre all come together in a most readable and enjoyable manner.  
 Who he was, when and exactly where he lived and his age at the time he wrote this book are unknown. That he was a modest man can be gleaned from his description of himself as "..a poetaster".  
Beautifully written; these poems should not only appeal to lovers of poetry but to those who would never normally consider reading verse.

Mars the Warning - Book 5 of 6 -...

Christopher Allen

Mars the Warning
Book 5 of 6 – the final exodus
This fifth story in the series I have written is summarized below;
As Martian forces systematically dismantle human settlements, Dr. Lin Mei oversees the desperate evacuation of Outpost Alpha. Crystalline warriors disable terraforming equipment while permitting escape, their precision strikes demonstrating superior technology and restraint. General Drake, humbled by defeat, ensures military personnel evacuate last. When Martian forces surround Olympus Outpost, they broadcast haunting images of Mars' pre-human beauty before liquefying its foundations—not with violence, but with the inevitability of a planet reclaiming itself. Aboard the final transport Ares, Lin watches Mars recede, its surface now glittering with emerging alien cities. The Martians transmit a final message: "Leave and do not return," offering mercy but no forgiveness. As 342 survivors journey toward Earth, Lin clutches data proving Martian sentience, determined to prevent future colonization attempts. The exodus becomes a turning point—not just retreat from Mars, but the collapse of humanity's colonial mindset. The red planet fades to a warning light in the viewport, its lesson clear: the universe is not humanity's to conquer.
I do hope you enjoy this fifth instalment, and its only $3.
The initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 plus minutes sets the scene, so to speak, this is heavy metal first but give it a chance and you will be surprised (I felt the martian beings would be extremely angry) ends with a warning sound music track like an alarm, 1 minutes plus.
The book itself runs to about 15 minutes and is narrated in my own voice.
I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!

Silk Cave

Cheng’en Wu

Xuanzang mistakenly ran into seven spider demons in Silk Cave while looking for food. The monkey heard that the spider demons would bathe in a pool every day. He then transformed into an eagle to take away their clothes. Pigsy hit them but got stuck, and the demons fled. The monkey, Pigsy, and Sandy finally saved Xuanzang, and then they went to a Taoist temple owned by the Multiple-Eyed Monster, the brother of the spider demons. The demon disguised himself as a Taoist and offered the group poisoned tea. Xuanzang, Pigsy, and Sandy all drank the tea. The monkey got so angry that he killed the spider demons and fought the demon. The demon was hard to defeat because his belly had thousands of eyes emitting golden light. The monkey eventually defeated the demon with the help of Pilanpo Bodhisattva, and the demon turned into the original form, a centipede.
