Language: English

Release date: 09-29-20

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Historical Romance

Summary:

Every fortune-hunting female in London is after the newly titled Earl of Drake, but he's intent on finding a wife whose heart is true. So, while drunkenly jesting with his friends in a pub one night, he has an idea-what if the ladies of the ton didn't know he was a wealthy earl? All he has to do is pose as a servant at his friend's summer country house party and make sure the guest list is full of beautiful, eligible debutantes. What could possibly go wrong?

Miss Frances Wharton is far more interested in fighting for the rights of the poor than in marriage, but her mother insists she attend a summer house party-and find herself a husband. Frances would rather wed a goat than the pompous man her mother has in mind, so in order to dissuade the would-be suitor, she vows to behave like a shrew. The only person she can be herself with is the kind, handsome footman she runs into at every turn. Their connection is undeniable, and the divide between them is no match for the passion they feel. But what will happen when Frances learns that the footman she adores is actually the earl she despises? In a game where everything is false, can they convince each other that their love is true?

Contains mature themes.

Title: Story Engineering: Mastering the 6 Core Competencies of Successful Writing

Author: Larry Brooks

Narrator: Chris Sorensen

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11:48:00

Language: English

Release date: 09-29-20

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Language Instruction, Language Arts

Summary:

The vast majority of writers begin the storytelling process with only a partial understanding of where to begin. Some labor their entire lives without ever learning that successful stories are as dependent upon good engineering as they are artistry. But the truth is, unless you are master of the form, function, and criteria of successful storytelling, sitting down and pounding out a first draft without planning is an ineffective way to begin.

Story Engineering starts with the criteria and the architecture of storytelling, the engineering and design of a story-and uses it as the basis for narrative. The greatest potential of any story is found in the way six specific aspects of storytelling combine and empower each other on the page. When rendered artfully, they become a sum in excess of their parts.

You'll learn to wrap your head around the big pictures of storytelling at a professional level through a new approach that shows how to combine these six core competencies, which include four elemental competencies of concept, character, theme, and story structure (plot) and two executional competencies of scene construction and writing voice. The true magic of storytelling happens when these six core competencies work together in perfect harmony. And the best part? Anyone can do it!

Title: Survivors: Children's Lives After the Holocaust

Author: Rebecca Clifford

Narrator: Esther Wane

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11:10:03

Language: English

Release date: 09-29-20

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, Non-Fiction, World, Psychology, Social Science

Summary:

Told for the first time from their perspective, the story of children who survived the chaos and trauma of the Holocaust

How can we make sense of our lives when we do not know where we come from? This was a pressing question for the youngest survivors of the Holocaust, whose prewar memories were vague or nonexistent. In this beautifully written account, Rebecca Clifford follows the lives of one hundred Jewish children out of the ruins of conflict through their adulthood and into old age.

Drawing on archives and interviews, Clifford charts the experiences of these child survivors and those who cared for them-as well as those who studied them, such as Anna Freud. Survivors explores the aftermath of the Holocaust in the long term, and reveals how these children-often branded 'the lucky ones'-had to struggle to be able to call themselves 'survivors' at all. Challenging our assumptions about trauma, Clifford's powerful and surprising narrative helps us understand what it was like living after, and living with, childhoods marked by rupture and loss.

Summary:

Is it her siren's song that lures the sexy vampire? Her body? Or her heart?

As a sultry siren, Cora Murphy can have any man she wants-and her interfering mother has a long list of eager candidates suited to her daughter's station as fae royalty. But Cora just wants to live a normal life, working at Othercross as a Sentinel and hoping one day a man will fall in love with her instead of succumbing to her mystical-and totally bogus-allure.

Of course, that can't happen if she never lowers the glamour she uses to prevent every Tom, Dick, and Harriet from following her around like love-struck puppies. Even her best friend, Deo Nicolaides, must have been hit by her siren song, because the young vampire keeps trying to get her into bed. As tempting as that might be, Cora doesn't dare give in to her primal desires. She'd rather die alone than live the rest of her life knowing Deo's love isn't true.

But what if it is?

Contains mature themes.

Title: In the Dragon's Shadow: Southeast Asia in the Chinese Century

Author: Sebastian Strangio

Narrator: Joe Barrett

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12:30:55

Language: English

Release date: 09-29-20

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, Asia, Global Politics

Summary:

A timely look at the impact of China's booming emergence on the countries of Southeast Asia

Today, Southeast Asia stands uniquely exposed to the waxing power of the new China. Three of its nations border China and five are directly impacted by its claims over the South China Sea. All dwell in the lengthening shadow of its influence: economic, political, military, and cultural. As China seeks to restore its former status as Asia's preeminent power, the countries of Southeast Asia face an increasingly stark choice: flourish within Beijing's orbit or languish outside of it. Meanwhile, as rival powers including the United States take concerted action to curb Chinese ambitions, the region has emerged as an arena of heated strategic competition.

Drawing on more than a decade of on-the-ground experience, Sebastian Strangio explores the impacts of China's rise on Southeast Asia, the varied ways in which the countries of the region are responding, and what it might mean for the future balance of power in the Indo-Pacific.
