  Homesick by Lynn Venable - What thrill is there in going out among the stars if coming back means bitter loneliness? 
  Frankston pushed listlessly at a red checker with his right forefinger. He knew the move would cost him a man, but he lacked enough interest in the game to plot out a safe move. His opponent, James, jumped the red disk with a black king and removed it from the board. Gregory, across the room, flicked rapidly through the pages of a magazine, too rapidly to be reading anything, or even looking at the pictures. Ross lay quietly on his bunk, staring out of the viewport. 
  The four were strangely alike in appearance, nearly the same age, the age where gray hairs finally outnumber black, or baldness takes over. The age when the expanding waistline has begun to sag tiredly, when robust middle age begins the slow accelerating decline toward senility. 
  A strange group to find aboard a spaceship, but then The Columbus was a very strange ship. Bolted to its outer hull, just under the viewports, were wooden boxes full of red geraniums, and ivy wound tenuous green fronds over the gleaming hull that had withstood the bombardment of pinpoint meteors and turned away the deadly power of naked cosmic rays. 
  Frankston glanced at his wristchrono. It was one minute to six. 
  "In about a minute," he thought, "Ross will say something about going out to water his geraniums." The wristchrono ticked fifty-nine times. 
  "I think I'll go out and water my geraniums," said Ross.

  On the murals of forgotten walls in Graffhaven, where street prophets graffiti glyphs from spray shadows and ink revenants mark the fade with urban oblivion, prophet Mira graffiti an urban glyph with revenant Erebus, their walls faded by marks that erase the city's prophetic voice. The glyphs, graffitied in spray vows and mark-kissed layers, prophesies the murals—or fades them in oblivion's wash. As they tag through wall-laced alleys and glyph-bound facades, graffitied by ink wardens and mark rivals, Mira's prophetic spray merges with Erebus's revenant fade, unveiling a graff legend of glyph mark. When a washed glyph summons erasure shades, they must graffiti the glyph to revive the walls. In the glyphs of graffiti murals, where every spray voices the future and every mark etches the past, their urban glyph becomes the prophecy that colors the forgotten city's soul.

  YOUNG BLACKBEARD THE PIRATE  
  PORT OF BRISTOL 1690 
  Book 5 of 6 – The Ghost of the Back Garden Lagoon 
  Here is the summary of the Story: 
  In 1690s Bristol, young Edward Teach (the future Blackbeard) and his crew investigate eerie splashing sounds from a rain barrel—rumoured to harbour a ghost. Armed with lanterns and nerves of steel, they stage a midnight raid, only to discover the "spectre" is a magnificent frog with luminous eyes. Edward, ever the showman, declares the amphibian their new mascot: "Captain Croaker." The crew transforms an old fish tank into a pirate lagoon, complete with miniature shipwrecks and a tiny Jolly Roger. Through this adventure, Edward demonstrates his knack for turning fear into opportunity—a skill that would later define his reign as history's most theatrical pirate. The tale blends authentic period details of Bristol's maritime culture with childhood whimsy, showing how Blackbeard's legendary leadership began with simple backyard adventures and loyal friends.  
  This is the fifth of six audiobooks in the series and I do hope you enjoy this fifth instalment, and it's only $3, all subsequent will remain at that price. 
  the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes being accordion, fiddle, harmonica and bango in a classical sea shanty jig. The closing music ends the tale on a similar jig and at about 2 minutes with the same musical instruments but more upbeat looking forward to the next episode.  
  The story itself runs to about 30 minutes 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!
