  From "an important writer in every sense" (David Foster Wallace), a novel that imagines a future in which sweeping civil conflict has forced America's young people to flee its borders, into an unwelcoming world. 
   
   
   
  One such American is Ron Patterson, who finds himself on distant shores, working as a repairman and sharing a room with other refugees. In an unnamed city wedged between ocean and lush mountainous forest, Ron can almost imagine a stable life for himself. Especially when he makes the first friend he has had in years—a mysterious migrant named Marlise, who bears a striking resemblance to a onetime classmate. 
   
   
   
  Nearly a decade later—after anti-migrant sentiment has put their whirlwind intimacy and asylum to an end—Ron is living in "Little America," an enclave of migrants in one of the few countries still willing to accept them. Here, among reminders of his past life, he again begins to feel that he may have found a home. Ron adopts a dog, observes his neighbors, and lands a repairman job that allows him to move through the city quietly. But this newfound security is quickly jeopardized, as resurgent political divisions threaten the fabric of Little America. Tapped as an informant against the rise of militant gangs and contending with the appearance of a strangely familiar woman, Ron is suddenly on dangerous and uncertain ground.

  Here There Were Dragons  
   Dracs: the gift that keeps giving. And making life very interesting for the crew of the AFV Defender. 
   A spatial anomaly near the drac homeworld, a forbidden island, and signs of a civilization that self-destructed are just the tip of the iceberg. When spoiled brat Ambassador Vitiarre's plot to get his hands on dracs is foiled, he sets out to make trouble for the Defender, and especially Chief of Talents M'kar. His long-standing feud with her father, Ashrock, just makes everything worse. 
  Then a new Chute opens up near the drac homeworld, leading to a planet with dragons in its legends. Despite no dragons present on the planet now, Vitiarre breaks regulations to invade and claim his own dragon. His schemes lead to the Defender being sent to mend the trouble he made with the matriarchal society of Castitarus. 
  The misfit luck of the Defender is hard at work. Male crew are kidnapped. The dracs develop allergies. Female officers are offered diplomatic gifts of men. And the crew race to find a cure for a disease that turns grown men into children -- starting with Security Chief Decker, and Ashrock. 
  A typical mission for the crew of the AFV Defender.

  ‘Book of 19 Nocturnes’ is an inter-genre fantasy. The phantasmagorical tale follows the wandering mind and feet of a woman made of wood, named Book, who befriends other monsters as she navigates a lonely, labyrinthine realm. Set in the forests and mountains of a world where the sun never rises, Book’s story unfolds with a surrealistic, dream-logic. 
  Defying easy categorization, this audio-drama is akin to an illuminated manuscript or a grimoire—a magical book. It blends elements of graphic novels, dream diaries, field journals, prose poetry and illustrated fairy tales. Night-owl / artist / author Jim Holyoak wrote and drew the book over 19+ years, often during his perambulations in the wilds of Scandinavia, British Columbia, and the Himalayas. It is best listened to over the course of 19 nights. 
  For fans of authors like: William Blake, Haruki Murakami, Ursula K. Le Guin, Tove Jansson, Tim Burton, and Terry Pratchett's radio-dramas. Also available for purchase is a 500-page, fully illustrated, e-book version of 'Book of 19 Nocturnes,' (which is best viewed in colour on an iPad or larger).

  The plant kingdom was seeing a deadly conspiracy unfold after the Creation of Man. Slowly but surely the humans have been turned into puppets by a secret army to make them bring on climate change. They are being used for an invasion of Earth with global warming meant to be the highly classified mission statement of this peculiarly-powerful army. The clock is ticking for a mass extinction like never before. Time has come to fire the last shot; time has come to save the Tree of Life! But growing in the heart of California’s iconic Yosemite National Park, where petty issues, rivalries and cheap thrills rule over everything else, Buddy and an odd bunch of young plants are hunting for the Sacred Weapon to defeat the invaders. Little do they know that they won’t be able to pull it off unless they faced up to none other but themselves! 
  This audiobook was produced by Eccentric Circle Records and features original background music composed by Chintan Kalra.
