  As a former Texas Ranger, Charlie "Catfish Charlie" Tuttle spent the good part of his life catching outlaws. Happily retired in Wolfwater, Texas, he's content just catching fish—namely Bubba, the wily old catfish who lives in the pond near Charlie's shack and keeps slipping off Charlie's hook. He also likes hanging out with his trusty tomcat Hooligan Hank and tossing back bottles of mustang berry wine. Sure, his glory days are behind him. There's no reason for Charlie to even think about coming out of retirement . . .  
   
   
   
  It starts with a jailbreak. Frank Thorson and his gang ride into Wolfwater to bust Frank's brother out of the slammer. First, they slaughter the deputy. Then, the town marshal. Finally, they run off with the marshal's daughter and no one's sure if she's dead or alive. The townsfolk are desperate enough to ask that drunken old coot Catfish Charlie to put down his fishing pole and wine bottles, pick up his Colt Army .44, and go after the bloodthirsty gang. Sure, Catfish Charlie may be a bit rusty after all these years. But when it comes to serving up justice, no one is quicker, faster—or deadlier . . .

  Three Hot Air Balloons

  A poignant short story based on a real life observation set in the Cambridgeshire countryside of England. Just as Destiny touched me I was to meet a stranger, not face to face but by 13 words he wrote that day in a little red book. Only later did the irony become significant through words, photographs and a meeting of minds. Was this by chance? Or rather perhaps a time capsule of events and connections resulting in this most interesting of outcomes. Suffice to say that one thing definitely leads to another when researching the archives of English history. Fascinating...

  In Lessons in Chemistry, Bonnie Garmus introduces us to Elizabeth Zott, a fiercely intelligent chemist in 1960s America — where women weren’t expected to work in labs, let alone lead them. 
  But when she’s pushed out of the scientific world, Elizabeth unexpectedly becomes the star of a hit cooking show. Her secret? She’s not just teaching recipes — she’s teaching science, self-respect, and resistance to millions of housewives trapped in societal expectations. 
  This novel is witty, bold, and deeply empowering — a story about breaking barriers, rewriting roles, and proving that revolution sometimes starts at the dinner table. 
  Perfect for listeners who love smart female leads, social commentary, and stories where chemistry is both literal and metaphorical.
