Gabriela Marie Milton- An Exclusive Invitation to Jezebel’s Island

Gabriela Marie Milton- An Exclusive Invitation to Jezebel’s Island: A Phycological and Mystery Thriller

Dear friends and readers,

Happy 4th to those of you who celebrate!

As you open this post, you cross a threshold with me.

For the past several months, while working on anthologies, I have been quietly weaving a new world, laying down mirrors, and hanging veils. Today, as we step into July, I am deeply proud to announce that my mystery thriller and dystopian novel, Jezebel’s Island, is fully realized and preparing for its definitive release through Literary Revelations soon.

This is not a traditional story. It is a psychological labyrinth built on an intentional contradiction. If you are looking for a simple journey from A to B with a tidy conclusion at C, this is not your journey. Instead, Jezebel’s Island unfolds in cinematic flashes, abrupt transitions, and fragmented scenes that tell you a profound story. I want to share a secret with you before anyone else reads the book: the ending greets you at the very start.

When you open the first chapter, The Night the Silence Screamed, you are not reading the beginning of Anastasia’s journey—you are reading her chronological future. She had already survived a devastating experience, absorbed Jezebel’s ruthless mandates, and returned to the City with a cold, revolutionary clarity. But will she stay there?

At its core, this book is a defense of human consciousness against a sterile, automated existence. As Jezebel writes in her letters to Anastasia: “Real answers lie deep within the human soul, not in robots.”

Anastasia begins her journey believing she is an independent investigator pulling back veils, only to discover a more terrifying truth: she is a mirror silent surface upon which the elite of the City project their crimes and shifting legends. But when the mirror finally shatters on the deserted sand, it is an act of total liberation. She is freed from their script to write her own.

Reading this book you are my co-investigators. I invite you to listen closely to the rhythm of the rain, the sudden chill of the sheets, and the spectral sing-song of the black-clad children. These are not merely details; they are the pulse of a world coming together and falling apart in the same moment.

Please, keep a close eye on your inbox over the coming days. The gates to the Island are about to swing open.

Step into the mist with me. The investigation begins soon.

With all my heart,

Gabriela Marie Milton

From Haiku and Tanka: Lull, Harmony and Power in Japanese art – by Hikari and Gabriela Marie Milton (art album upcoming at Literary Revelations) & More Updates

My dear followers and subscribers, I wish you a fantastic week filled with joy and happiness.

Remind you of a few things.

Lull, Harmony, and Power in Japanese Art, by Hikari and Gabriela Marie Milton.

it is with a sense of reverence and anticipation that I welcome you into the luminous world of Haiku and Tanka: Lull, Harmony, and Power in Japanese Art. Within these pages, the inspired artistry of Hikari and the lyrical insight of Gabriela Marie Milton weave an exquisite tapestry, inviting you to witness the delicate interplay of image and word. Here, art and poetry converse, giving voice to the ineffable.

The tradition of Japanese art is a testament to subtlety—a choreography of brush and spirit, of line and stillness, tracing the arc of centuries. Hikari’s paintings, shimmering with the echoes of ancient customs and the gentle cadence of nature, are not mere representations but meditations. Each canvas offers a sanctuary for contemplation, drawing us into depths where the soul may linger for a while.

For every painting, two poetic visions arise: the tanka, Hikari’s powerful thread, unspools with grace, capturing the hidden currents of emotion, justice, and sometimes memory; the haiku, rendered by Gabriela Marie Milton, distills the moment into lyricism—a dewdrop reflecting the vastness of feelings. Both forms, though inspired by a single image, diverge in their journey, each illuminating facets the other cannot reach. In their dialogue, they evoke shifting patterns, perhaps a sort of adulterated perspectivism, as they try to find unity in ultimacy.

From the book.

TANKA – HIKARI

短歌: 誇らしく百花の王花開き育て主への敬意を捧ぐ
（林泉寺の住職ご夫妻に捧げます）

peonies, Queens of Flowers
bloom proudly
never forget gratitude
toward those who raised and taught them

-Tanka dedicated to the head Priest and his spouse of the Rinsenji-Temple, Japan

HAIKU – GABRIELA MARIE MILTON

magic sacred temple
how beautiful your silence
fresh flowers whisper

魔法の聖なる寺院
あなたの沈黙はなんて美しいのでしょう
新鮮な花々がささやきます

Many thanks to Japanese artist Naoki Kimura, who translated my haiku into Japanese.
