The Song of the Long-Awaited Spring<\/strong>\nThe geese glided down and up\nLemony setting sun, loudened by quacks\nAt our tousling hair and walnut-brown eyes\nThe trodden road slaked with melted ice.\n \nThen goodbye to the winterized\nThe winds with whale-like whistles\nThe ice-bathed muddy slush\nTiptoeing around the tea-colored puddles.\n\nWhispered the soaked-in sand\nSplattered the icy water into gutters\nFor the love of tulips\u2019 sways\nNever look back, said the looking land.\n\nThe chill drank the wind, stiff as steel\nSpeeding into the drowsy dark\nThe sun sinking into the arms\nOf the shy blushing line of land.\n\nAnd the moon swarmed out of clouds\nBlinking at the flirting spring squalls\nSo long to the pearly, ivory nothingness\nWe spray smiles at teasing Spring. <\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nImportant Dates – SAVE THE DATE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Saturday, May 1, 2021, 10:30 a.m. CST – Special Guest Live Conversation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday, May 22, 2021, , 10:30 a.m. CST – THE BIG LAUNCH DAY.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAs you can tell, I am thrilled, relieved, and psyched. Giving birth to a book that bakes for four years, borrows from multiple conferences and reviews, is like removing an organ from the body. You worry if the world will understand: Root for “her.” Love her. She is Siana Singh, the rebellious daughter who has to learn about her place in the world, her family, and her country. I was honored to give an interview at work to the PMO group in Allstate on my writing journey. I have written since ninth grade, but it wasn’t until 2016 books rose from planted seeds. Avid reader, a budding Nanowrimo writer, I complete a rough draft of a book in four weeks. I wrote three books in quick succession. Madness rained hard. Editing? Years swallowed me whole. A journey, four years in the making, is culminating, leaving me excited. Please do not forget to email me your details, so I can add you to the raffle and see you on May 22, 2021, if not before. I leave you with a teaser. Turn on the volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
