Ear Candy: Handbook for the Criminally Insane (free audiobook)

A story about a young woman moving to a small town, so it naturally involves zombies, ghosts, blood and gore ;)
Needless to say not everyone will like it, and it does contain some stronger language, but it is funny and enjoyable.
Happy listening :)

Ear Candy: The Merchant Adventurer (free audiobook)

A great fantasy novel, written by Patrick E. McLean, which I enjoyed immensely. It's funny and I liked the characters a lot. This book probably isn't for everybody though, as it does contain violence and some language that might not appeal to everyone, although I'd describe it more as "colourful" than "strong".
For those of you still interested; happy listening :)

Update: it was brought to my attention that some of the patterns use seven colours, but only six show up in the materials list. So I have added those in the captions of these particular patterns. 
My apologies for the mistake.

Ear Candy: Shadow Magic Series (Audiobooks)

Recently I discovered a site called Podiobooks, a treasure trove of ear candy in the form of free audiobooks!
One of the first books I listened to was "Shadow Magic" by John Lenahan, and I loved it.
I don't really like spoilers myself, so I won't tell you any more than that it's a fantasy novel, funny and for listeners of 12 years old and up. 
The sequel to "Shadow Magic" is called "The Prince of Hazel and Oak", which is equally good. There is also a third book in the series, called "Sons of Macha", but so far this one hasn't been turned into an audiobook (yet?).
I intend to buy the trilogy as a gift for someone, but if the last book isn't released on Podiobooks, I'll have to read it myself before wrapping it up in pretty paper...

I'll be posting more audiobook titles, but only the ones I really enjoyed. Perhaps in this small way it can help their authors reach a larger audience, so if you enjoy these books as well, I hope you'll let others know about them?
Have fun listening :)
