SWEET HOLIDAYS

By Connie Shelton

Samantha Sweet Series, Book 3

Read by Andrea Bates

   It’s Christmas and a chocolatier shows up at Sweet’s Sweets, offering to create a special line of hand-dipped chocolates for Sam’s customers. He says he will work for no pay, just to prove himself. But she learns that he has connections to the wooden box that seems to give Sam her mystical powers, and discovers that certain evil people will do just about anything to take it away from her. With the same combination of mystery, romance and the paranormal as the other books in this series, Sweet Holidays brings a bit of magic to the season.

SWEET’S SWEETS

By Connie Shelton

Samantha Sweet Series, Book 2

Read by Andrea Bates

   Sam is working hard to get her new pastry shop, Sweet’s Sweets, open for business. Just when she’s really got her hands full with that, she’s assigned a new property to take care of as part of her contract with the USDA. The place is a hoarder’s delight and Sam is feeling more than a little bit overwhelmed as she begins cleaning with a vengeance. When a blood-soaked garment turns up among some things Sam has dropped off at the thrift shop, Sam recommends that they call the Sheriff’s office. Deputy Beau Cardwell is a bit under pressure himself, as the Sheriff is so busy running for reelection that the office is understaffed. Together, Sam and Beau sift through the evidence and discover that the bloody coat leads to a far more complicated situation than a simple case of murder. Once again Sam calls upon the powers of the magical wooden box that came into her possession a few months earlier to help unwind the tangled threads of the case.

SWEET’S MASTERPIECE

By Connie Shelton

Samantha Sweet Series, Book 1

Read by Andrea Bates

   Samantha Sweet breaks into houses for a living–all perfectly legal as a caretaker for the USDA. But her real dream is to open her own pastry shop, Sweet’s Sweets. Life is a little crazy for Sam right now. At one of her break-in properties a dying woman insists that she take a small wooden box. Sam doesn’t realize that the old woman was known locally as a bruja, a witch, until she begins to feel some strange effects from the box, herself. Meanwhile, at another property, she finds an unmarked grave and the authorities come to investigate. The property owner disappeared a few months earlier and Sam wonders–who is the body in the grave? A small mural in the house leads to a connection with a famous artist; a bogus will points to possible fraud; and the handsome deputy investigating the case seems completely enchanted with Sam. While Sam scrambles to fill bakery orders and keep her properties in order, she’s equally intrigued with the idea of a new romance. It all makes for a delightful romantic mystery with elements of the paranormal.

WHAT LIES WITHIN

By S.D. Tooley

A Sam Casey Mystery, Book 5

Not all of Chasen Heights’ secrets were destroyed when Sin Strip was closed down. The fifth book in the award-winning Sam Casey series, which combines mystery with an element of paranormal. “Sam Casey has an advantage over other cops. The dead speak to her, tell her secrets about their life and death. But sometimes what she learns can get her killed.”

THE WOLF HUNTERS

By James Oliver Curwood

Read by Rusty Nelson

   The starved wolf-pack was hot on his trail.  It was the biggest pack that Wabi had ever seen.  He calculated there were at least fifty animals in it, possibly even more.  Nearer and nearer they came, until the first were scarcely two hundred feet away.  Close enough for Wabi to see this was a hungry, determined pack.  Then, with a shout, the Indian leaped and dashed fearlessly toward them.  This unexpected move stopped the foremost wolves and Wabi fired two of his three remaining bullets. The trees were eighty yards away…

POTTER’S FIELDS

By Frank Roderus

For it was there, in a line shack in winter, that an Indian woman and her child finally caught up with a man burning with fever and hate, and plunged him into a battle with the truth, and his greatest fear of all.

OUR AMERICAN WEST, VOL. 2

By Gary McCarthy

Read by Rusty Nelson

   Our American West, Volume 2 begins with America’s  first colonizers, the prairie dogs, and how out on the ranges they were so hated by ranchers that they were almost made extinct. Conestoga Wagons were once called “prairie schooners” crossing America long before the famed Pony Express. The indomitable courage of Sarah Winnemucca, the “Prairie Princess” rivals that of a tall Swede named Showshoe Thompson who skied the snowy river passes of the Sierra Nevadas for over twenty years packing the mail and saving lives. Almost no one knows of Esther Hobart Morris, but Wyoming proudly claims her as its Mother of Women’s Suffrage. Marvel at the transcontinental railroad race between the Union Pacific’s Chinese laborers and the predominately Irish Central Pacific Railroad crews and about how a one-armed Civil War hero named John Wesley Powell was the first explorer to run the mighty Grand Canyon deep within its corridors of stone. Doctors called “sawbones” struggled to save their patients with little more than poultices and prayers. Tom Horn was a tall, handsome hired gun but did he hang for a crime he did commit? Are mules smarter than horses? Clay Allison was every bit as deadly as Billy the Kid. Native American stories featuring Chief Sitting Bull. Buffalo Soldiers, The Ghost Dancers and Mark Twain, Frederick Remington and The Infamous Bandit Queens round out Our American West, Volume 2.

HAWK

By DUSTY RHODES

Read by Rusty Nelson

   Officially, the American Civil War ended with the surrender of General Robert E. Lee at Appomattox on April 9, 1865. However, many “sympathizers” on both sides of the issue continued to wage their own “private wars.” This is the story of the “Hawk” family who were caught up in the bitterness and aftermath of the war. Jubal Hawk served four years as a captain in the Confederate cavalry. He returned home to find his home burned to the ground, his father hanged, and his family missing. Night-riders sympathetic to the Union cause and backed by a land hungry rancher, were extracting their own brand of “justice.” Will Jubal be forced to fight the war all over again?

3 Audiobooks with Drama, Action and Adventure!

    When the price of an unusual picture called a spirit photograph, which some Victorian spiritualists claimed was a photograph of the departed taken during a seance, sells at auction for over a thousand dollars, Flynn Keirnan is determined to discover the story behind it. She soon learns the ghostly images of the woman and two men in the picture were the subjects of a sensational murder trial in 1875 Chicago. A young architect was accused of killing his wife and best friend in what the local press dubbed The Free Love Murders. Flynn tracks the story through many sources, including the trial transcript, a journal kept by one of the victims, and notes from a jailhouse interview with the husband conducted by feminist firebrand Victoria Woodhull for her radical newspaper. Woodhull, also known as a spiritualist, was asked by the accused to contact the spirits of his wife and friend to obtain details about the deaths. Was it a double homicide, a double suicide, or a murder-suicide and, if so, who killed whom? Flynn Keirnan discovers the key to solving the Free Love murders lies in learning the provenance of the photograph itself. When she does she finds that, like Victoria, her own outlook on love has changed.

“The grizzly stepped back, caught Hawk with his left paw, and flung him aside like a piece of carrion. Hawk landed heavily on his back, managing somehow to hang on to the bowie knife. Dazed, bleeding from his wounds, he stared up at the slavering, bleeding jaws of the huge grizzly, no longer confident that he or his bowie could do anything more than irritate the monster. Rearing up onto his hind legs, the bear uttered a fearsome roar, then came down hard and shambled forward to finish off Hawk…”

In Our American West, Volume 1, discover humor, tragedy and courage in every one of these delightful stories. Gary McCarthy has been writing about the American West for thirty years and these are some of his favorite topics written – not for the expert or scholar – but for all the armchair admirers of thing historically written. Some of these exciting subjects are fairly well known such as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but even here you will discover things about these daring outlaws that you probably didn’t know. Stories of coyotes, burros, jackrabbits and mustangs – the “untamed ones” that are oh so very important threads in the rich and textured tapestry of our western heritage. Black Bart, the gentle stagecoach robber, Lola Montez, the famous “Spider Dancer,” Charles Russell was famous for his art, but one of his dearest friends, Will Rogers thought of him as an equally gifted storyteller. “Bet A Million” Gates whose bold Texas wager transformed the entire face and future of the American West. In this fascinating listen, you will learn about explorers, adventurers, the famous and almost famous, and about legends like Joaquin Murieta.
