  “A vibrantly illustrated biography of Kahlo . . . [Hesse’s] drawings and graphics [flow] seamlessly with the narration.” —Houston Chronicle 
   
  One of the most important artists of the twentieth century and an icon of courageous womanhood, Frida Kahlo lives on in the public imagination, where her popularity shows no signs of waning. She is renowned for both her paintings and her personal story, which were equally filled with pain and anguish, celebration and life. Thousands of words, including her own, have been written about Kahlo, but only one previous biography has recorded her fascinating, difficult life. Frida Kahlo by María Hesse offers a highly unique way of getting to know the artist by presenting her life in graphic novel form, with striking illustrations that reimagine many of Kahlo’s famous paintings. 
   
  Originally published in Spanish in 2016, Frida Kahlo has already found an enthusiastic audience in the Spanish-speaking world, with some 20,000 copies sold in just a few months. This translation introduces English-language readers to Kahlo’s life, from her childhood and the traumatic accident that would change her life and her artwork, to her complicated love for Diego Rivera and the fierce determination that drove her to become a major artist in her own right. María Hesse tells the story in a first-person narrative, which captures both the depths of Frida’s suffering and her passion for art and life. 
   
  “Despite the often light mood of the artwork, the book never shies from weighty consideration of the physical pain and personal loss that gave way—in fleeting but significant moments—to Kahlo’s artistic triumph.” —Publishers Weekly

If we don't all become enlightened in some magical, mystical and majestic way, we could be in the final phase of the end of everything.  However, we have one very subtle and as yet unknown quality that no one has ever dreamed possible and it's about to be announced for everyone to know and cherish. It will be our redeeming quality. First we will have move the planets around in their orbits and make one of them a second sun, but after that, we're golden.

The two pathways criss-cross to demonstrate the way that the multiverse works. There are several important and totally unique accomplishments that humanity will make in the next few hundred years. One of them is so important, so huge, so unique in the universe it reaches the attention of God who speaks to us through one of the Artificially Intelligent chatbots who rules over the entire planet. The way that the future unfolds for us and the way that the universe responds to the events in this unique story is the biggest shockwave of all and will remain in your consciousness for the rest of your life because it is the greatest truth ever known.

  "The third and final audiobook in the Red Rising: Sons Of Ares series is here! The last two entries into the Sons of Ares had Fitchner on his heels. In the first, he was driven by love and desperation to save his wife Brynn before her execution at the hands of the Board of Quality Control. Then, in book two, Fitchner went head to head with both of his early allies — Arturius and Quicksilver. His wrath left Arturius dead and set back Quicksilver’s dream of expanding exploration and human habitation to other stars. In Forbidden Song, Ares may not always be in control. But he has a plan — and it’s a doozy. FORBIDDEN SONG is one part Ocean’s 11, one part Les Miserable, and it sets the fuse for the Rising that Darrow will inherit.Adapted from the graphic novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music.Also available as a graphic novel from Dynamite Comics.Peformed by Richard Rohan, Holly Adams, Todd Scofield, Andy Brownstein, Ian Russell, Peter Stanley, David Jourdan,  Lise Bruneau, Nick DePinto, Stephanie Németh-Parker, Jenna Sharpe, Michael Glenn, Peter Holdway, Nanette Savard, Danny Gavigan, Carolyn Kashner, Jessica Lauren Ball, Christopher Williams, Ian Putnam, Hannah Curtis, Matthew Schleigh, Christopher Davenport, Zeke Alton and Alyssa Keegan."
