Yes, you can learn to love the spotlight.

Why do some of us gladly step forward while others shy away from public speaking, despite having something to say? If youve ever watched others take the stageat conferences, in meetings, or even at your sisters weddingand yearned for the confidence to do the sameyou can.

In this transformational guide, speaking coach Linda Ugelow delivers a holistic methodology that gets to the root of whats stopping you from sharing your voice. Through powerful exercises and real-life stories of conquering performance nerves (including her own), Ugelow tells you how to free yourself from the anxieties and psychological roadblocks that are holding you back, and actually learn to enjoy the limelight. Youll also learn exactly how to effectively prepare for speaking opportunities; how to memorize effectively; how to finally eliminate your use of filler words (like um or right?); and how to smoothly navigate slip-ups in front of an audience.

This isnt an audiobook about feeling the fear and doing it anyway, its about shedding that fear, loving yourself, and embracing opportunities to shine brightly. Whether your audience is online, in the boardroom, in a theatre, or in the workplace, your journey to full self-expression begins here.

Title: Widower to Widower: Surviving the End of Your Most Important Relationship

Author: Fred Colby

Narrator: Tom Askin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:44:01

Language: English

Release date: 09-15-21

Publisher: Findaway Voices

Genres: Non-Fiction, Health & Wellness, Psychology, Death & Bereavement

Summary:

The greatest fears I had during my grieving was that I was losing control, going crazy, and might make decisions that would harm me, my family, and my friends. This included suicidal thoughts which scared the hell out of me. I was desperate to find answers. Quickly, I found those answers would be hard to find, as resources for widowers are minimal and often of dubious value.

In Widower to Widower, I've compiled the most vital information I could find on the widower experience into one book, so the reader does not have to search as hard as I had to do. I include many critical issues not addressed in other publications. This can be raw and brutal at times, much like the grieving process itself.

Widower to Widower is woven around blogs I wrote during and after my wife's passing. This storytelling element allows the reader to be in the moment with me during the grieving experience, and to see that their own experience is not uncommon.

As I've learned from hundreds of fellow widowers, mine was not a unique journey but was similar, in many respects, to their journey as well. I am the expert only on my own experience. Each widower's experience is unique, but there are common threads and shared experiences. We must each find our own path while learning what we can from each other.

This second edition includes 60 additional pages of research, insights, resources, and a men's grief group guide. Reader testimonies are included in the first two pages of this 2nd edition.

Title: Return to Berlin

Author: Ellen Feldman

Narrator: Barrie Kreinik

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:34:27

Language: English

Release date: 09-14-21

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Australia

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Historical Fiction, Contemporary Women

Summary:

For fans of The Light After the War, a young woman haunted by a heartbreaking secret finds hope and forgiveness in a city shattered by war.

Young Meike Mosbach and her brother escape Berlin just before the horror of Kristallnacht, leaving their parents and little sister to follow them to America. But their family never arrives.

Haunted by their loss, Meike becomes Millie and graduates from college to work as a magazine journalist while David enlists in the army to work in intelligence. After the war, they both return to a shattered Berlin, hoping against hope to find their family.

Postwar Berlin is a wild west where drunken soldiers brawl, spies ply their trade and ‘werewolves’ – unrepentant Nazis – scheme to rise again. Consumed with rage at her former country, Millie’s job for the army rooting out Nazis from regaining a voice seems the perfect outlet. But her anger begins to thaw as she is faced with the daily reality of what the war has done to everyone, and the enigmatic Major Harry Sutton, who seems too eager to be fair to the Germans and far too perceptive about Millie.

In the rubble of postwar Berlin, Millie must come to terms with a devastating secret and find the courage to embrace love – and a new beginning.

Title: Reinvention: Poems

Author: Rik Emmett

Narrator: Rik Emmett

Format: Unabridged

Length: 02:02:11

Language: English

Release date: 09-14-21

Publisher: ECW Press

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Poetry

Summary:

Poetry from beloved lead guitarist of the multi-platinum record selling legendary band Triumph

Reinvention is a largely autobiographical collection of poetry - a project that followed on the heels of Rik Emmett retiring from a touring musician's and college educator's life in early 2019. Inside all of the slashes that define him - singer/songwriter/guitarist/rock star/teacher/columnist - writing has always been his strongest avocation, and the poetic style of "Ultra Talk," in particular, offered a welcome spark for a songwriter's freedom of expression. This creative license is organized under seven headings - The Humanities, Life & Death, There's Politics in Everything, Double Helix, Soapbox Sermonettes, Time Time Time, and Ars Nova 2020.

Rik's poetry (literally) reinvents his own retirement, and it's not just some aging dilettante's bucket list fancy. He discovered a sincere way to tie up a lot of loose ends, fulfill dormant promise, and eschew show biz tangents. Reinvention, his first book, makes some sense of a life that always went in a lot of different directions at once. Finally, he's given himself permission to chase a mode of self-expression with less commercial potential ... than jazz guitar recordings.

Title: Mole Men: Webb Wilder, Last of the Full Grown Men

Author: Shane Caldwell, Steve Boyle

Narrator: Webb Wilder

Format: Unabridged

Length: 01:20:54

Language: English

Release date: 09-10-21

Publisher: Findaway Voices

Genres: Mystery, Thriller & Horror, Suspense

Summary:

Webb Wilder, Last of the Full Grown Men has its quizzical storylines set in a Neo Noir city. The characters have a sense of humor along with tons of insider Pop Culture references. As a series, WWLOTFGM is faithful to the hard-boiled detective / Film Noir visions of the 1940s and 1950s but set in the Pop Culture world of today. Webb Wilder, as a detective, is a semi-urban hero dealing with characters who are bigger than life and twice as preposterous. Webb gets dragged, suckered, or voluntarily dives into situations that seem impossible at first, but logic and luck win out in the end. With all of this intrigue and dark images, Webb Wilder, Last of the Full Grown Men can also be very funny. Consider if Raymond Chandler had written Philip Marlowe for a hybrid of Andy Griffith, Stephen Colbert and Humphrey Bogart.

'Mole Men' Just another case of money, murder and madness, featuring a cropduster, Mole Men, a worm ranch and a blonde named Ruby Falls. As Webb tries to solve two cases with the same nightmare, he investigates St. Vegas county's largest fire ant hill, has to keep calm under a sultry beauty's helping hands and tries to figure out how to eat a worm burger and still be polite.
