Dear Listener:

Midsummer Magic, the first novel in the Magic Trilogy, was published at the end of 1987.

Philip Hawksbury, the Earl of Rothermere, obeying his father''s dying wish, hies himself to Scotland to offer for one of the daughters of Alexander Kilbracken, the Earl of Ruthven.

Frances Kilbracken, informed of the earl''s arrival and his mission, disguises herself as a bespectacled dowd so she won''t be the one selected by the young earl. But choose her he does, and for all the wrong reasons.

The newly married couple return to England, together but not at all happy. Philip dumps Frances at Desborough Hall, his ancestral estate, and heads back to his old life in London. Ah, but Desborough has a stud farm and racing stable, and Frances is magic with horses.

When the earl returns to his home, driven by guilt, he discovers the woman he married has grossly deceived him. What follows is a battle of the sexes that will have you chuckling, maybe even howling with laughter.

Let me know what you think of this first of the Magic novels - it's one of my own favorites.

Title: Work-Life Balance Goals

Author: Jeff Davidson

Narrator: Jeff Davidson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 30 mins

Language: English

Release date: 2011-11-18

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: Business & Economics, Career Development

Publisher's Summary:

Many people have goals focused on career achievements or net worth. Far fewer have goals related to the quality of life. In this innovative program, author and professional speaker Jeff Davidson discusses the importance of establishing work-life balance goals such as identifying the number of relaxing weekends you want to experience within a month, determining how much sleep you want to have each night, and targeting your resting pulse per minute. Who is to say you can't establish a goal for your blood pressure as well as your weight and waistline? Why not establish goals related to the healthy foods you regularly consume?

Establishing work-life balance goals, Jeff observes, helps you to become a well-rounded career professional who is more effective on the job while having a greater sense of participation and enjoyment in life. Jeff also explains the importance of setting goals about starting each day, handling lunch time, and departing at the end of the day. He also discusses goals related to great novels, classic or inspiring movies, participation in worthy causes, and more focused family involvement. If achieving a greater sense of work-life balance appeals to you, then this 30-minute program will help you get into high gear.

Language: English

Release date: 2011-09-01

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Publisher's Summary:

An exquisite, blistering debut novel

Three brothers tear their way through childhood'smashing tomatoes all over each other, building kites from trash, hiding out when their parents do battle, tiptoeing around the house as their mother sleeps off her graveyard shift. Paps and Ma are from Brooklyn'he's Puerto Rican, she's white'and their love is a serious, dangerous thing that makes and unmakes a family many times.

Life in this family is fierce and absorbing, full of chaos and heartbreak and the euphoria of belonging completely to one another. From the intense familial unity felt by a child to the profound alienation he endures as he begins to see the world, this beautiful novel reinvents the coming-of-age story in a way that is sly and punch-in-the-stomach powerful.

Written in magical language with unforgettable images, this is a stunning exploration of the viscerally charged landscape of growing up, how deeply we are formed by our earliest bonds, and how we are ultimately propelled at escape velocity toward our futures.

'We the Animals is a dark jewel of a book. It's heartbreaking. It's beautiful. It resembles no other book I've read. We should all be grateful for Justin Torres, a brilliant, ferocious new voice.''Michael Cunningham, Pulitzer Prize'winning author
