Publisher's summary
A trip to Christmas Key with her sister-in-law is the catalyst for her move, transporting her from a busy life in the city to an island still in the early stages of its development. Frank and Jeanie Baxter are still alive; Holly is a recent high-school graduate instead of the mayor; and Jack Frosty's isn't even a figment of anyone's imagination yet!
This Christmas Key novella is like a time machine that takes us back to the start for Bonnie and for the island. It can be read at any point in the series!
A romantic comedy series set in the Florida Keys for fans of Hope Holloway, Wendy Wax, Jan Moran, and Deborah Brown!

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
Then: Linda has it all: a gorgeous home, a devoted husband, two loving daughters. But she throws it all away to chase an impossible dream. Now: Linda is alone and penniless, living in a shabby rented flat. With nothing to lose, she signs up to a dating app for the over 50s. But the one man who responds to her profile, a man calling himself Tony Fortin, is not who he says he is. Linda recognises him immediately. He’s Marcus, her second husband. But that’s impossible. Marcus died eight months ago. He drowned off the coast of Corfu.

This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

The AWFUL VIRTUAL VOICE
I truly hope audible is not going to start using Virtual Voice more in the near future. This will cause me to cancel my subscription. It sounds very robotic, weird pronouncement of words & even more odd is the pauses and sometimes the lack there of. It is very hard as the listener to bond with the story when you hear odd things and wonder “what did she just say?” I will be very careful in the future to pay attention to “who” is actually preforming the book. I’m sure Virtual Voice is helping Audible’s bottom line. It’s easy to not have to employ and or pay a robot. Shameful. It’s hard to believe that the author is okay with this policy.
