Curious Under the Stars
Summary
All 11 series of the mystical drama set in the wild Welsh coastal village of Glan Don. When Gareth finds his wife Diane in bed with another man, the couple attempt to save their marriage by uprooting from London to the West Wales village where Gareth grew up and buying the local pub. It's a bit of a dive - the wallpaper's peeling, there are squirrels in the saloon bar and something's growing out of the pool table. But it's got potential and they're determined to make a go of it. Soon, the locals are flocking to The Druid's Rest - and as Diane discovers, her husband's old friends are an eccentric bunch. There's ex-Soldier Gwyn, who carries a machine gun everywhere, garrulous Waitress Megan, Cook Matty, whose dishes cast a spell over everyone who eats them and enigmatic Potman (and narrator) Emlyn, who seems built into the fabric of Glan Don. And then there's Bethan - beautiful, bewitching Bethan, Gareth's teenage sweetheart, who may still have a hold on his heart.... If the villagers are strange, Glan Don itself is even stranger. Steeped in ancient folklore, it is both eerie and enchanting. The sea is an all-pervading presence, magical and menacing in turn, home to mermaids and submerged forests. On land are haunted caves, dark woods, ruined castles, old lead mines - and legendary beings including ghosts, dragons, witches and the King under the Hill. As Gareth and Diane struggle to cope with the dual challenges of running a pub and dealing with the supernatural, will Glan Don bring them closer together - or tear them apart? Starring Elis James (Tourist Trap), Louise Ford (Chickens), Amy Hoggart (Almost Royal), Emma Sidi (W1A), Ifan Huw Dafydd (Gavin & Stacey) and Amy Ffion Edwards (Detectorists), Curious Under the Stars takes us deep into a Welsh landscape of myth, magic and mayhem.

Tales of Larkin
Summary
In the last audiobook in the Tales of Larkin series, author Alan W. Harris revealed more of the exciting history of the one-inch tall woodland warriors known as the Larkin. Now with this newest audiobook, Fiery Trials, Harris once again takes on the story of Hawthorn, Eldan, Rush, Tobin the Flyer, and Red’s Rowdies.
Two years have passed since the end of book three, The Great Gathering, and much has occurred that has made life difficult for the followers of the Maker’s Son, King Jehesus. Since the third clan of Larkin has chosen to follow the King the Shaman who rule the clans have decided to isolate and if possible destroy Hawthorn’s clan before their new found faith can reach the other Larkin.
When an opportunity to accomplish this murderous plan presents itself, Hawthorn and the others find themselves facing the terrible reality of what being faithful to their King actually costs. Devastating disease, tragedy, and an unimaginable disaster of terrifying proportions must be faced if they are to have any hope of surviving. The Maker, whom they follow, has also made it clear that He wants them to love their enemies...but at what cost?
As you have come to expect with each installment of the Larkin saga, this audiobook also is full of exciting adventure, delightfully fun characters, and life-changing truths. The Tales of Larkin were written to not only entertain with wholesome exhilarating adventures, but also to present principles of right living that bless the listeners and encourage them to draw closer to the Maker and His Son. Gripping, heart-warming, hilarious and satisfying, Fiery Trials will be one of those extraordinary stories you will want to listen to again and again.
