The Silmarillion, Vol. 2   Audio, Cassette   – Abridged, Audiobook Set in a time far earlier than Tolkien's master works,  The Hobbit  and  The Lord of the Rings,  this is the epic history of the elves, and the grand story of the creation of Tolkien's magical world.  The Lord of the Rings  narrated the great events at the end of the Third Age; but the tales of  The Silmarillion  are legends deriving from a much deeper past, when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the recovery of the Silmarils. Never published in the author's lifetime,  The Silmarillion  is an essential compendium for all Tolkien fans. It will be published in five consecutive volumes, each completely unabridged. The series contains not only the  Quenta Silmarillion,  but four other short works: the  Ainulindale, Valaquenta, Akallabeth  and  Of the Rings of Power.

Island Life Sentence   Kindle Edition Peg Savage has contractually agreed to move to Key West, Florida. The smudged signatures on the damp cocktail napkin are irrefutable proof. “An adventure…” her husband Clark says.  Peg can’t swim; she’s afraid of bridges (there are 42 of them); and she doesn’t want to leave her friends. However, after a bottle of Cabernet, a move from Chicago to the southernmost city in the United States seems like the best decision ever. But now Clark has taken a long term job in Cuba and she’s on her own. Neither her dog Nipper, nor the ghosts in the attic, offer up any good advice. But how hard can it be living in paradise?  Peg dives into island life but the more effort she makes, the wider her wake of catastrophes. She is tortured by a paddle board, a giant poisonous toad, the local Conservation group, and the patron saint of hurricanes. Not to mention the persistent sweat rash under her left breast. A tropical depression descends on the island – on
