The only woman in Forbes' Greatest Business Stories of All Time and the first woman to chair a company on the New York Stock Exchange, Mary Kay Ash has a life story that reads like a Barbara Taylor Bradford novel Growing up in Depression-era Texas, Mary Kathlyn Wagner is a dutiful daughter and diligent student with ambition aplenty and no place to use it. Married at sixteen, she is a grandmother at thirty-four. When she is not cooking or cleaning or taking care of the kids, she peddles cleaning products to other housewives. The work has no salary and no security but she sticks with it, sure that direct selling will somehow make her dreams come true. In 1963, after she has been divorced three times and widowed twice, she sets up her own company, selling second chance and self-invention for the price of a skin care showcase. Soon millions know her as the little lady in the big wig who gives away pink Cadillacs. From its unpromising start in a 500-square-foot Texas storefront, Mary Kay Inc. grows into a global phenomenon with 3.5 million reps in over 35 countries. She becomes the most famous saleswoman in the world. Maybe the most famous ever. Based on fifteen years of research, Selling Opportunity gives us a page-turning rags-to-riches story set against the background of direct selling in all its overstated, over-the-top glory. Here, for the first time, is the definitive history of a peculiarly American industry and a mid-century mindset that ennobled extreme self-reliance, sticking to your guns, and blind faith in the American dream.

Frankenstein Diaries: The Romantics: The Secret Memoirs of Mary Shelley

The real love story of Frankenstein. In 1814, two years before the notorious "Gothic Summer" in Geneva, 16 year old Mary Godwin eloped to Paris with the 22 year old poet, Percy Bysshe Shelley, inviting Mary's 15 year old step-sister Claire Claremont to go with them. They would walk across war ravaged France to Switzerland and up the Rhine River to a castle called Frankenstein. Three years later Mary would publish the diaries she kept of that journey of two teenage girls and the poet of "free love". In the published version of "A History of a Six Week's Tour" she would tell where they went and what they saw, but she never revealed the true secrets of that trip, from where a later inspiration arose. Here now, for the first time is revealed the secret personal life of the author of Frankenstein on that tour and beyond.
Mary was born in 1933 in Scott, County Mississippi to sharecroppers. Her memoir described her two fathers as the most significant people in her childhood. One of them was impoverished and indebted to white landowners, and the other owned property and was independent. They agreed to expose Mary to both worlds. Change is hard, but Mary found her way, and the inspiration to dream. With the gift of song and the mind to step out of the box, Mary broke ground in business and in song.Meredith Etc Editorial ReviewEXCERPT: At age six, I, along with my siblings attended a one room school, where ... Mr. McCarter taught first through eighth grade. We carried our lunch to school in small molasses buckets which consisted of whatever we had left over from the previous day. We did not eat sandwiches like children do today; we ate peas, greens, salt meat and cornbread. Sometimes we had a baked sweet potato for dessert.Bessie often sat on the porch and dipped snuff. I wanted to try it, and be grown.One day, I asked her for some snuff, and she said, "Okay, let me show you how to put it in your lip, so you won't get it on your clothes.""Okay," I agreed.She filled the lid with snuff and told me, "Lean your head backward."I obeyed her, and she filled my mouth with snuff and began to rub it in. I tried to get away ... and swallowed some of it. I laid out on the porch in the summer heat longing to die. I was so sick I felt death was better than suffering. The incident took my taste for snuff...Advance Praise for Mary's Story & Song Mrs. Coleman has written a book that everyone should read. We were both born in 1933 and lived in Mississippi during the years of the Black Civil Rights Movement. Her life is a living reality of the Black struggle and a greater true picture of the changes that occurred. I loved it.James Meredith, Ole Miss, 1962While this book is a personal account of the life of Mary Coleman, it is one with which we can all identify and cherish. I am sure that this historical account of her life will be something that generations coming after her will be able to use to get an understanding of from whence they came.Judge William WalkerMary's Story and Song chronicles the great strides and struggles in the transformative life of the Haralson Family from slavery to freedom Mrs. Coleman's soft-spoken style and positive outlook is evident throughout this book and makes for a spirited autobiography that reads like a novel. It will serve as Mrs. Coleman's testimony for many generations to come.Norma G. Alexander

When Word and Image Run Away: The Selected Poems of Mary Blinn
Mary Blinn
After Hours Press
2016

As is our tradition, After Hours magazine held a contributors' reading in August of 2015, celebrating the release of Summer Issue #31. Quraysh Ali Lansana was the featured writer in that issue, and was also the featured reader at the event. This contributors' reading, however, was a little different, because it also celebrated the poetry of After Hours regular contributor, featured writer (Issue #17), and friend Mary Blinn. Mary's sudden death just two months before had greatly saddened the Chicago poetry community. That afternoon, several After Hours readers began their sets with one or two of Mary's poems. They brought to life Mary's voice, her poetic music, and her words. Quraysh (a poet, writer, teacher, editor, and one of After Hours' most distinguished featured writers) was immediately taken with Mary's poetry and made the strong suggestion that a collection of her poetry needed to exist, to make sure such a wonderful Chicago poetic voice would continue to be heard and read. Thus began the spark that drove the creation of the book you hold in your hands. Through the careful cataloging of Mary's files, her husband Robert Blinn made the bulk of her work available to the editors. The result, When Word and Image Run Away, is a selection of Mary Blinn's finest poems, many of which were published in the pages of After Hours. Some of the illustrations, also by Mary, had appeared previously in After Hours as well.
Dark Triptych Three novellas from the twisted pen of author Brian Kaufman. Mary King's Plague-Fight your way out of a plague-riddled slum in 17th century Edinburgh. But hurry-the town elders are walling up the entrance. The Wretched Walls-Remodel an old Victorian mansion in Denver for profit-just don't look inside the walls. The Honey Gatherer-Work the grill on the night shift, until the restaurant brings you face-to-face with pure evil. Three novellas. Three sleepless nights. ". . . on par with Stephen King or Edgar Allen Poe for setting the tone of a piece and maintaining a constant level of intensity from beginning to end. The characters were incredibly complex for such a short book." Online Book Club "You'll spend the last half of the novella terrified of finding out the truth. Kaufman draws you in with his character work so well, you don't even realize when he's begun to scare you..." Desmond Reddick, Dread Media
