Summary

Fred Wagner thought his newfound ability would bring big opportunities, but some special powers aren’t as useful as they appear to beAdvertising copywriter Fred Wagner lives a mundane existence, dreaming of being a novelist but making scant progress on his first literary effort. His career has stalled and his personal life is falling to pieces, but everything seems poised to change when, one day, Fred realizes he can will himself in and out of visibility. A world of possibilities seems finally within reach—that is, until Fred learns that invisibility isn’t the panacea he hoped it would be. Filled with humor and pathos, Being Invisible perceptively examines the life of a struggling writer and the power each of us has to change our own lives. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Thomas Berger including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection.

    Dostoyevsky was never shy to play with the issues of human mind in his work. A funny man's dream is one of his shorter pieces that, nevertheless, lacks none of the profundity or the mind-bending power of his larger works.

    My life has never been normal. Raised by a survivalist, taught how to endure anything, I've learned to rely on myself. To keep my head down—to mind my own business. That all changes when I hear the screams. 
     
     
     
    There, in that filthy alley, I thought I was pulling Emmeline out of the darkness and toward safety, but it turns out, she was pulling me in. My new friend's world collides with my own, and they couldn't be more different. Where I spend my days alone, she rarely can. Not with four brooding brothers hellbent on her protection, watching over her every move. 
     
     
     
    Guardians that set their sights on me, who want to claim me as their own. 
     
     
     
    Theirs is a world of violence and bloodshed, of teeth and fangs. Monsters lurk in the shadows, just waiting for their chance to strike. A sane person would be terrified, but even as danger closes in around us, I know without a shadow of a doubt that they're bigger threats than the ones they tell me I should fear. 
     
     
     
    To protect their family, they'll become the monsters of legends and myths. The question is, if I'm supposed to be their salvation, does that mean I'm even more cursed than they are? 
     
     
     
    To save us all, am I willing to damn myself? 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    A time-slip fantasy-adventure powered by music that refuses to be bound by time – and an impossible love that defies the tragic fate already determined by history. 
    Crushed with the rejection of joining a world-renowned orchestra, a modern-day cellist finds new hope in an unexpected summons to Scotland. Adeena’s dying grandmother has a gift for her; a lost music score that Adeena performs on the oldest surviving cello ever made in the United Kingdom. 
     As she plays… time transforms. 
     A connection is made through the music to Katharine, another young cellist and composer in Scotland, though the year is 1745. 
    Their connection is cemented by the love of the same man doomed to die after the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The magic of a priceless cello connects two souls that share the same heart in all that truly matters to them – love and the maddening drive to compose and to perform. 
    “I adore time travel stories and this is one of the best I've found. Great characters and I could almost hear the music.” - R. Pool 
    In ‘Music is Not Bound by’ Time, Book I of the Song for a Lost Kingdom trilogy, the timeless power of music transcends the limitations of the ordinary world for those who truly listen through their heart. 
    Your time-slip adventure awaits… 
    "This book grabbed me instantly and it was one of the best I've read that combines my love of music, belief in time travel, and love of historical romance!" - Vanessagram  
    The audiobook version includes original music by Paul van Geldrop and Marc Moretti and a haunting vocal performance by soprano Ania Hejnar. Voice actors Tom McLean and Bethany Mason combine their talents to bring the story to life.
