Audiobook Review: The Trial of Patty Hearst: The Captive Mind

Image
  *A true story that divided America* Was Patty Hearst guilty? What's your verdict? A 90-minute standalone full-cast audio-drama. Available as an audiobook, it draws on the DNA of radio plays and documentary dramas. Release date: Women’s Equality Day — 26 August 2026 Fifty years ago, newspaper heiress Patty Hearst entered a San Francisco courtroom accused of armed bank robbery, two years after her dramatic kidnapping by the radical Symbionese Liberation Army. By then, America had already watched one of the strangest public transformations of the decade unfold: a young woman seized by political extremists who later appeared in bank security photographs carrying a rifle alongside them. Her trial was an inquisition: was she a victim, an accomplice, or something far harder to define? This immersive courtroom production revisits one of the most psychologically complex legal dramas of the twentieth century. Drawn from the original trial transcripts and contemporary reporting, this full-c...

Audiobook Review: The Bedroom Ban

Image
  One accidental night. One unexpected baby. Absolutely no plan. What could possibly go wrong? Geoff After two decades of glamorous chaos, I’ve retired from photographing beautiful people in beautiful places and taken a job teaching teenagers who think I’m prehistoric. I’m also dealing with some inconvenient medical realities that have forced me to reassess… well, everything. Then one very memorable night turns into something far more permanent. Now Christa is pregnant. With my baby. We’re living together because it makes sense. We are not a couple. We are being mature adults about this. Apart from the part where I can’t stop noticing how she takes her crumpets. Christa My fiancé ended our engagement at forty-three because he “wasn’t ready.” So naturally I slept with Geoff. One time. That was it. Now I’m pregnant, temporarily sharing a flat with a man who is far more thoughtful than he has any right to be, and trying to convince everyone – including myself – that this is strictly p...

Audiobook Review: The Train That Never Hurries

Image
  The Train That Never Hurries is a sleep story for adults designed to slow the breath and quiet the mind. In this gentle journey, a solitary passenger boards an old countryside train at dawn. There is no urgency, no crowded platform, no final destination demanding arrival. The train moves at its own patient rhythm, gliding through mist-soft fields, quiet stations, and stretches of open landscape where time seems to widen and soften. Inside the carriage, stillness replaces expectation. Outside the window, the world unfolds without hurry. With each passing mile, the listener is invited to release tension, loosen the day’s demands, and settle into a deeper calm. This is not a story of events or surprises. It is a journey of presence of being carried without effort, of arriving without striving. Perfect for bedtime listening, moments of reflection, or evenings when the mind needs gentle company rather than stimulation, this audiobook offers a peaceful passage toward rest. Close your e...

Book Review: Sideline Rivals

Image
  I fought my way onto the boys’ lacrosse team when I was sixteen, and learned how to survive high school under a microscope. Not much has changed all these years later now that I’m varsity’s head coach at my old school. I’m still proving I belong, refusing to be quiet, and dealing with parents who think the job should’ve gone to a man. One specific man. My high school rival. And JV’s new head coach. Landon Fletcher was the all-star golden boy who couldn’t handle being outshined by a girl. I thought my days of sharing the field with him were over. But now, we’re sharing more than glares and insults. The forced proximity of coaching on the sidelines together brings up old feelings, and a past we never healed from. The more time we spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore what's always been there. What's still there. And when I find myself at the center of a scandal that threatens my career and all I’ve worked for, I’m forced to lean on the man I never thought I could. T...

Book Review: The Scent of Crazy

Image
  SUMMER I manipulate. I deceive. I seduce. I steal. I kill. I'm not a bad person! And I'm definitely not a stalker, though some could argue that shadowing Atlas Holt and his friends for months, casing his business, or measuring him in his sleep out of boredom is the definition of stalking. I call it preparation. I need Atlas's love as a means to a blood-soaked end. But playing carefully curated, sick and twisted games with this delusional psycho is pushing me dangerously close to the trap I set. Simple plans rarely stay simple. ATLAS Summer Night is like a rollercoaster: exhilarating, unpredictable, and every once in a while, it leaves me wondering if it's passed the routine maintenance and I'd be getting off alive. That only makes me want her more. Whether her ways of flirting would land me in a straitjacket or a grave is not the real question. Who is she, and how many body bags does her real name drag behind it? Hopefully, fewer than mine does. I have a feeling t...
