Important Life Landslides. Second Book Launch

Letter to you – Book Launch

Dear reader,

I wish your life is an open sky of endless possibilities and dreams. You are healthy and peaceful. I have a promise to deliver to you.

Late last year, I had given you my word that if you subscribe here, you enter a raffle and become the first pair of eyes to read my new book, House of Milk and Cheese.

The time has come: my second book is releasing on May 22, 2021! And I want you to win. Pay attention. This notification is not spam. Please email me your name, email, and an RSVP to attend the launch at bookofdreams.us@gmail.com to officially enter the raffle. I will announce the winner during the launch.

I look forward to hearing from you. You are welcome to tell your friends and show them how they can enter this raffle, too: Subscribe here; Email me; And attend the launch. There will be more than one way to win multiple prizes.

Here are raffle rules to maximize your chances:

1. Please email me your name, ‘yes’ RSVP, and email address.
2. Refer a friend. They subscribe here and repeat step one.
3. When you let me know that you brought a guest along, your name goes into the raffle twice, or as many times you bring someone along.

In the coming weeks, series of live events will begin, including the Book Cover Reveal. I will be LIVE on Facebook and YouTube every Saturday in May at 10:30 a.m. CST (11:30 a.m. EST, 8:30 a.m. PST, 11:00 p.m. IST), culminating in the final launch event on May 22, 2021. And I bring surprise guests, too.

You will get to know me better. But if you engage, I may get to know you well, too. Those who love the idea of spending an afternoon lapping in the arms of a book will appreciate these events. Please spread the word. 

My second promise is the delivery of a story that pulls you away and keeps you reading. House of Milk and Cheese belongs next to your coffee.

Thank you for your continued support. Here’s to dreams that beacon us and keep us working. I wish you success and more.

Your author,
Mars D. Gill

Open your Eyes, for this World is only a Dream.

House of Milk and Cheese – Preview

An Athlete.  A Therapist.  A Murder.  A Medal.

Siana Singh can run fast; she is just slow in discovering where she belongs, wedged between her traditional Punjabi family and her western beliefs.

Dr. Silverstone is a therapist whose primary purpose has been one of being an exemplary mother but has lost her daughter and her son is in jail. She understands loss well and is eager to help her patient Siana.

An #ownvoices narration of what it is like to be an Asian American immigrant in the US, specifically a Sikh, this story rings true to our modern world.

House of Milk and Cheese is the poignant yet heartwarming story of a young woman whose pursuit of overcoming her demons makes for a nail-biting drama as she realizes . . . 

To seek redemption is to pursue the impossible dream.

Letters from the Queen – debut novel

Amnesiac. Pregnant. Abandoned.

In a women’s shelter in Hawaii, Anna is known by a different name. When she unearths a stash of letters, she wonders if she’s a native or a tourist. On one side, there’s the new life, new love sprouting in Hawaii, on the other is a hollow past indicative of heartbreak and deceit. But not pursuing the truth could cost Anna her life, let alone love.

Alone, the past seems to have abandoned her in a lonely hospital bed with the medical staff and charity workers as her only companions. That’s when she discovers that she is pregnant, too. Perhaps not that alone as she once thought. And a new worry grips her heart. Hawaii is a famous tourist destination: what if she was only visiting here, she would never discover the truth about who she used to be?

It would be easier to move on from it all with Adam, but a stash of letters surface that beckon her despite reluctance to chase deceit and uncomfortable truths. Little does she know, she has no choice and must embark on a fascinating journey, looking into her life, thirty-six-years full, through the eyes of an outsider, just like the readers.

Available on Kindle, Nook, and Smashwords and BOOKSHOP.ORG. Purchase below & support an independent bookstore.

Only for my readers . . .

The third book is about a superstitious scientist, which is tricky because science and superstition don’t mix.

And now an unpublished poem…to be published. Just for you . . .

The Song of the Long-Awaited Spring
The geese glided down and up
Lemony setting sun, loudened by quacks
At our tousling hair and walnut-brown eyes
The trodden road slaked with melted ice.
 
Then goodbye to the winterized
The winds with whale-like whistles
The ice-bathed muddy slush
Tiptoeing around the tea-colored puddles.

Whispered the soaked-in sand
Splattered the icy water into gutters
For the love of tulips’ sways
Never look back, said the looking land.

The chill drank the wind, stiff as steel
Speeding into the drowsy dark
The sun sinking into the arms
Of the shy blushing line of land.

And the moon swarmed out of clouds
Blinking at the flirting spring squalls
So long to the pearly, ivory nothingness
We spray smiles at teasing Spring.
