Now Recording – My Sisters Boyfriend, by Nicola Marsh

June 28, 2024

“I’m going to make you like me, Lizzie,” my sister’s new boyfriend sneers. I arrange my features into a pleasant mask, willing myself not to look anxiously for the door. He thinks he’s always one step ahead, but he has no idea how far I’ll go to protect my family…

Noel never should have been released from prison. My job helping ex-prisoners turn over a new leaf usually warms my heart, but as soon as I lock eyes with Noel the skin along the nape of my neck prickles. He wasn’t locked up for a petty crime; it was manslaughter. And now he’s dating my sister.

Brooke says she’s never met a man who makes her feel so cherished and protected. That a single brush of his hand makes her heart flutter. A knight in shining armor who will finally lay to rest the twisted secrets in her past.

But he whispers words to me that Brooke can’t hear. Words that sound like threats. And I do the one thing I know I shouldn’t: I search through his prison files to find out all his secrets. And with trembling hands I discover that he didn’t kill his brother by accident…

The War Came to Us: Life and Death in Ukraine, by Christopher Miller

July 10, 2023

by Craig Audiobooks

A breathtaking exploration of Ukraine’s past, present, and future, and a heartbreaking account of the war against Russia, written by the leading journalist of the conflict.

When Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his unprovoked, full-scale invasion of Ukraine just before dawn on 24 February 2022, it marked his latest and most overt attempt to brutally conquer the country, and reshaped the world order. Christopher Miller, the Ukraine correspondent for the Financial Times and the foremost journalist covering the country, was there on the ground when the first Russian missiles struck and troops stormed over the border. But the seeds of Russia’s war against Ukraine and the West were sown more than a decade earlier.

This is the definitive, inside story of its long fight for freedom. Told through Miller’s personal experiences, vivid front-line dispatches and illuminating interviews with unforgettable characters, The War Came To Us takes readers on a riveting journey through the key locales and pivotal events of Ukraine’s modern history. From the coal-dusted, sunflower-covered steppe of the Donbas in the far east to the heart of the Euromaidan revolution camp in Kyiv; from the Black Sea shores of Crimea, where Russian troops stealthily annexed Ukraine’s peninsula, to the bloody battlefields where Cossacks roamed before the Kremlin’s warlords ruled with iron fists; and through the horror and destruction wrought by Russian forces in Bucha, Bakhmut, Mariupol, and beyond.

With candor, wit and sensitivity, Miller captures Ukraine in all its glory: vast, defiant, resilient, and full of wonder. A breathtaking narrative that is at times both poignant and inspiring, The War Came To Us is the story of an American who fell in love with a foreign place and its people – and witnessed them do extraordinary things to escape the long shadow of their former imperial ruler and preserve their independence.

Spotify Audiobook Promos: Into the Light, by Mark Oshiro

May 11, 2023

by Craig Audiobooks

When Spotify asked me to help them promote one of their latest audiobook releases, Into the Light, by brilliant YA Fiction author Mark Oshiro, I really couldn’t have been happier – for a number of reasons.

I’ve developed a good working relationship with the folks at Spotify and their recently-formed audio production arm, OrangeSky Audio.

This has grown out of my also-great relationship with the also-great and awesome folks at Findaway Voices and Findaway Marketplace, recently acquired by Spotify.

I’m a big believer in the old maxim that all business is based on relationships and I’m grateful for the opportunity to form such good working relationships with this diverse group of truly lovely, talented people. So when they contacted me to ask if I’d like to help promote their work – for all the right reasons – I didn’t need think twice!

Into the Light, by Mark Oshiro is available now!

Placebo Effect, by Derek Dean

May 10, 2023

by Craig Audiobooks

When you love someone, when you truly love them, you won’t let anything hurt them…even if it’s you.

After his life falls apart, Drew rebuilds himself by selling placebo medication to the people whose lives are in more of a shambles than his own. The broken will do anything to help themselves and step on anyone to get ahead.

When he falls for one of his clients, his need to protect her outweighs his need to survive. When her past and his present collide he can either fall in love, or ruin her life.

Like a rip-roaring mash-up of ‘Thelma and Louise’ and ‘Breaking Bad’, Placebo Effect, in essence, was written to prove that the human heart still exists.

Free Market: The History of an Idea

October 4, 2022

by Craig Audiobooks

From a MacArthur “Genius,” an intellectual history of the free market, from ancient Rome to the twenty-first century .

After two government bailouts of the US economy in less than twenty years, free market ideology is due for serious reappraisal. In Free Market, Jacob Soll details how we got to this current crisis, and how we can find our way out by looking to earlier iterations of free market thought.

Contrary to popular narratives, early market theorists believed that states had an important role in building and maintaining free markets. But in the eighteenth century, thinkers insisted on free markets without state intervention, leading to a tradition of ideological brittleness. That tradition only calcified in the centuries that followed.

Tracing the intellectual evolution of the free market from Cicero to Milton Friedman, Soll argues that we need to go back to the origins of free market ideology in order to truly understand it—and to develop new economic concepts to face today’s challenges.
