When Kenyan born Crimson Hail miraculously survives a train crash that plunges him into the depths of the sea, he did not expect to be washed up on a strange, undiscovered futuristic island he later finds out is called Valour. Valour is a place where most of its indigenous inhabitants have one of three superpowers: the ability to fly, teleport, or have super strength. Those without powers are forced into manual labour in terrible conditions which Crimson falls into. After the brutal death of a close friend by a Valourian Crimson, Marx, Ronan, and Nisbah swear to fight back and overthrow their oppressive leaders, free themselves from the island, and find their way back home. The odds are stacked against them, not only because of their few numbers but also their lack of superhuman abilities. However, unbeknownst to Crimson, he becomes the first-ever non-Valourian native to develop superpowers, not just one but all three. With fast-paced action, incredibly creative scenery, and a twist that will have you on the edge of your seat, Crimson Hail and the secrets of Valour is a feel-good, sci-fi action-adventure story that will leave you wanting more.

One of Mexico’s most celebrated new novelists, F. G. Haghenbeck offers a beautifully written reimagining of Frida Kahlo’s fascinating life and loves. When several notebooks were recently discovered among Frida Kahlo’s belongings at her home in Coyoacán, Mexico City, acclaimed Mexican novelist F. G. Haghenbeck was inspired to write this beautifully wrought fictional account of her life. Haghenbeck imagines that, after Frida nearly died when a streetcar’s iron handrail pierced her abdomen during a traffic accident, she received one of the notebooks as a gift from her lover Tina Modotti. Frida called the notebook “The Hierba Santa Book” (The Sacred Herbs Book) and filled it with memories, ideas, and recipes. Haghenbeck takes readers on a magical ride through Frida’s passionate life: her long and tumultuous relationship with Diego Rivera, the development of her art, her complex personality, her hunger for experience, and her ardent feminism. This stunning narrative also details her remarkable relationships with Georgia O’Keeffe, Leon Trotsky, Nelson Rockefeller, Ernest Hemingway, John Dos Passos, Henry Miller, and Salvador Dalí. Combining rich, luscious prose with recipes from “The Hierba Santa Book,” Haghenbeck tells the extraordinary story of a woman whose life was as stunning a creation as her art.

Professor Colin Ayres has spent years researching the strange story of Galina, Arizona, a sleepy border town ripped apart by violence and paranoia after the outbreak of a mysterious illness in 1960. Colin is certain the Galina Incident was simply a case of mass hysteria. But when his partner, Alonzo, starts exhibiting strange symptoms, Colin is shocked to realize they are the same as those that emerged in Galina decades ago. As Alonzo’s condition worsens, Colin scrambles to piece together what really happened during that terrible summer in the past. He uncovers a story of murder, corruption, and fanaticism. The deeper he digs, the more he becomes convinced that what happened in Galina wasn’t mass hysteria after all. When others start to develop the same eerie symptoms, Colin must confront the possibility that someone—or something—is driving the plague. Guided by rumors of a person who found a way to stop the plague in the sixties, Colin races to find answers before the disease destroys Alonzo and everyone else it touches.
