Hinduism: This Is Hinduism
Summary
This audiobook contains an easily accessible overview of the Hindu religion, with a focus on those coming from the Western religions and cultures. While quite a few of us in the west are familiar with at least some aspects of the religion (karma, for instance), most of us lack any real depth of understanding of the complexities and nuances of one of the world's oldest and most diverse religions. I hope that by listening to this book you can at least begin to scratch the surface of this rich and intricate religion. We will cover the basics of the belief system, including the concepts of karma, reincarnation, ahimsa, and the one Supreme Being. These concepts unite all the various sects of the Hindu religion, as well as all of the regional and familial variations in what is a rich and complex religion. The pantheon of the gods is described, with an emphasis on each god's function. The rich symbolism present in their depictions is also explored, for a small sampling of the main deities. A full treatment of the symbolism is a subject worthy of a full semester college course. Not only is Hinduism rich in its diversity of gods and goddesses, it is also filled with many different rituals and festivals. Some of the most important rituals that punctuate the life of a Hindu are described. Rituals that are performed for pregnancy, birth, and death are common. Like we are accustomed to in the west, the Hindu religion also celebrates many holidays. I describe some of the most popular. Finally, I give a brief overview of what can only be considered one of the largest collections of religious scriptures in the world. They number over 100, though not all are accorded the same significance. This work is intended to serve as a jumping off point for you to begin your self-exploration of the world's oldest and third largest religion. Listen to the audiobook today to learn more about this fascinating religion.

Living with Earl
Summary
It has been 105 years since writer Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by his pen name Mark Twain, took his final breath. But, nearly identical in appearance, personality, and authentic dress, you would think he was sitting in Tom's living room today - a traveler brought here through some freak accident involving time and space. You see, Tom has managed to inherit a most unusual houseguest. Not a doting relative or an old friend but a stranger who claims to be Mark Twain himself - a man who looks and acts the part, down to his dry wit and dramatic panache. One whom Tom knows by the name "Earl"...for reasons he'll get into later. As the two men get to know each other over the course of eye-opening conversations and humorous insights about the world, an unexpected friendship emerges - while Tom struggles to discover the origins of the mysterious guest once and for all. But when the truth gets a little too close for comfort, Tom must decide whether he wants to keep up the relentless search for the man's real identity...or simply relax and enjoy the (supposed) presence of one of history's greatest literary icons.

On a Witch and a Prayer
Summary
FBI Agent Landon Michaels is looking forward to a weekend of fun and ease with his witchy love, Bay Winchester. Unfortunately for him, relaxation isn't in the cards. When his boss hands him a cold case from Hemlock Cove before he leaves for an extended weekend, Landon is annoyed. When Thistle Winchester gets a vision from the file, bother turns to intrigue. If Landon can solve a 20-year-old disappearance, he'll be lauded in his office as more than the guy who is dating the woman who constantly finds trouble. Of course, it's that woman and her feisty family who can help him. Between ghosts, fights, deep conversations with Marcus, and constant annoyances, Landon has his hands full. And that's on top of Aunt Tillie's new business venture - which she's desperately trying to keep under wraps. Landon needs Bay to solve a mystery, and her family is along for the ride. Danger might not be prevalent this weekend, but survival is - and old ghosts need to be put to rest.

Landon Calling
Summary
Landon Michaels is one busy FBI agent. In addition to a special law enforcement gathering where he has an authoritarian presence, he's in the midst of moving in with his girlfriend, Bay Winchester. It just so happens that the gathering - a conference where local police officers and agents can learn about new technology - is being hosted in his soon-to-be hometown of Hemlock Cove. In fact, multiple law enforcement representatives will be staying at the inn Bay's mother and aunts run. It's a weekend that promises a little bit of everything, including work and fun. Landon is looking forward to the event but nerves are eating at him, and things only get worse when Aunt Tillie realizes that 'The Man' (in the form of multiple bossy figures) is going to be watching her every move for the duration of the weekend...and she's not happy. Landon is happy to spend time with Bay - even introducing her to a bevy of colleagues - but things shift a bit when a local woman goes missing and Bay becomes obsessed with finding her. Since she's a witch and magic - and occasionally mayhem - follows Bay wherever she goes, Landon has his hands full putting on a good show for his co-workers and helping Bay stay out of trouble. Landon is determined to prove that he can have it all, a magical girlfriend and her wacky family included. To get what he wants, though, he has to make it through a tough weekend...oh, and solve a crime on the side. Note: This is a 28,000-word short set in the Wicked Witches of the Midwest world. It falls after Make a Witch in the timeline.
