So, while we have the facts of Lincoln's life, it may not be possible to ever fully know the man, no matter majestic he might be. The Lincoln the author has come to know through his research was a carefully guarded man who didn't like to reveal a lot about himself. Photographers, artists, and writers have all tried to capture the "real" Abraham Lincoln, but the truth of the matter, from Freedman's perspective, is that Lincoln remains somewhat elusive today. Freedman explains that while Lincoln was indeed captured on film frequently throughout his life, there exists no photograph that could possibly do him justice. The opening chapter of this unique biography takes an unusual vantage point right from the start. The result is an in-depth introduction to one of the most celebrated and complicated figures in American history. The comprehensive image collection included in this volume doesn't just complement the story it is an integral part of the presentation that adds further color and perspective to the various episodes in Lincoln's life. In Lincoln: A Photobiography, author Russell Freedman chronicles the life and times of the sixteenth American president, who happened to be one of the most photographed men of his time.

I'm looking forward to the continuation of their story. I'm about to say something about a series I've never said before: I fell in love with Brishen and Ildiko. The Kings form an alliance to deal with the horror. In addition to Brishen and Ildiko's troubles the horror unleashed on Brishen's parents kingdom also threatens neighboring kingdoms. This obviously causes angst between Brishen and Ildiko. The King is supposed to produce heirs and humans and Kai cannot conceive. Because Ildiko is human they are told she can not be Queen. When word travels to them about the horror of his parents kingdom.Brishen has to take the King's throne. Meanwhile Brishen and Ildiko have fallen deeply in love, and adore each other. In doing so she unleashes a horror over the kingdom. In the Shadow Queens greed for power she dabbles in black magic. This book picks up exactly where Radiance left off. It drew me in from the beginning and turned out to be so much more. I chose this series because of the human+alien+ugly factor. I prefer dark, gritty, suspense, action, fun and sex. It's out of character for me to choose a sweet love story since they tend to be cookie-cutter so I generally stay away.

Her first published novel was The Sound of Munich, followed by Heart and Salsa, The Ghoul Next Door, Cake Pop Crush, and Dead in the Water. When she was seventeen, she filled four journals with her handwritten first novel, titled “The Dream Keeper.” To escape her chores, she often lied to her parents about what time her shift started at the local fast food joint so that she could spend an extra hour writing in the parking lot in her mom’s faded Buick.
