Combustible Punch
Summary
Rick Philips isn't a fighter, but he is a survivor. Haunted by memories of a high school shooting, not even the bottle can wash away the gnawing guilt and creeping feelings of inadequacy that batter Rick's conscience daily. His life has been a mess of broken marriages, writer's block, terrible choices, and the morbid pity of others. When he meets Harriet at a writer's conference, the record doesn't scratch as he falls back. Only, this time, he may not get up. Harriet Bristol Wheeler is a dark temptress and a self-confessed serial killer. Harriet has no problem killing and even fewer issues blending back into the background after the act with the cool, calculating eye of a practiced social chameleon. Manipulative, unpredictable, and exceptionally intelligent, she's Rick's worst nightmare and the ideal subject for his next book. A book that they are both desperate to write. Time is running out, but the sadness will last forever. In the vein of Stieg Larsson and Thomas Harris, Combustible Punch is a memorable novel that captivates listeners and lingers long after you finish listening.

Killing the Devil
Summary
After you hear this story, you will understand you are responsible for your own darkness. The Devil shows up when you look for him. If you don’t prickle and jag with him, you may never meet him. He only comes when you call him and when asked. People who stay put and stay quiet do not interest him. He feeds on fear, hate, and other negative emotions and finds a fertile ground whenever someone plants these seeds. What is the deal with the Devil? In this audiobook, he is “harvesting” after an earthquake in which family members have been lost; he is a drop-in stranger impregnating a baby-starved mother, a pastor who fights his demons by seeing the Devil in his father’s face, reviving a love story from decades ago by threatening with an imminent lynch, and a celebrity who turns into an abusive nutjob. However, Tex has originally destroyed his own life when he left Jessica, the only woman he loved. Is there a redemption for him? Well, once you start teasing the Devil... Killing the Devil: A Collection of Short Stories explores the journeys of three people as they confront evil in its various forms. Each must choose between the wicked and the good. Paul Michael Peters is the author of Insensible Loss, Mr. Memory and Other Stories of Wonder, The Symmetry of Snowflakes, and Peter in Flight.
