Live on Amazon: Jezebel’s Island: A Psychological and Mystery Thriller and a #1 Amazon Bestseller in Japan-by Gabriela Marie Milton- Publisher Literary Revelations

Dear Friends, Readers, and True Lovers of Literature,

Jezebel’s Island: A Psychological and Mystery Thriller is now live on Amazon

A #1 Bestseller in Japan. Thank you Japan!

Both the Kindle edition and the paperback edition are fully synced, and you have the absolute first opportunity to step into the mist:

In honor of this core community and our shared commitment to the written word, I will not be taking any personal proceeds from this novel. Instead, 100% of the proceeds will go directly to Literary Revelations to fund the creation of our next haiku anthology, ensuring that we continue to nurture and preserve the art of traditional verse. Your support today directly shapes the future of our poetic community.

As I shared with you at the start of July, Jezebel’s Island is a psychological labyrinth built on cinematic flashes, abrupt transitions, and fragmented scenes. It is a defense of human consciousness against a sterile, automated existence—and today, the investigation begins.

When you open the first chapter, The Night the Silence Screamed, remember the secret I told you: the ending greets you at the very start.

Thank you for walking across this threshold with me. I cannot wait to hear your thoughts as you uncover the shifting legends and veils of the City.

Jezebel’s Island is available in all Amazon Markets.

A vibrant arrangement of folded paper in various colors, including shades of pink, purple, orange, and blue, showcasing abstract textures and patterns.

At Literary Revelations, we believe in creating legacies through high art, meaningful literature, and profound impact. Today, we are proud to announce an extraordinary upcoming publication: Playground of Colors: A Photographic Plea to Protect the Earth by visionary digital photographer Andrei Marin, releasing very soon.

This release comes with a powerful mission: Literary Revelations and Andrei Marin will not keep any profits from the sale of this book. Every dollar earned will be donated entirely to an environmental organization chosen by Andrei to support direct ecological action and planetary care.

About the Book & Design Vision

Playground of Colors presents a series of striking, high-resolution digital photographs created entirely from discarded waste materials. By transforming discarded objects into breathtaking visual landscapes, Andrei proves that waste can become the origin of pure, extraordinary beauty—and serves as an urgent plea to recycle and protect our Earth.

Thoughtful Curation & Layout

183 Pages of Fine Art: Printed on Premium Color white paper for maximum visual richness and contrast.
Minimalist Interior Layout: To allow the intensity of the artwork to breathe, the left-hand page of every spread contains only the chapter title. Leaving deliberate space prevents the vivid, striking colors from overwhelming the eye, ensuring a great viewing experience.
Behind the Creation: Every chapter opens with Andrei Marin’s personal explanations, giving readers an inside look into his artistic process and how each piece was constructed from raw waste materials.

Haiku for Soulmates

Two Poems by Andrew Cyr

Bio:

Andrew Cyr is a writer whose work has appeared in Literary Odyssey and Spillwords, including “Coping with Loss: A Message Beyond Death.”

Twisted for Life

At seventeen,
Amaya stole a kiss
in an abandoned,
stale basement—
vanilla, dark hair
around her neck.
Lemon on her lips—
sour and electric.

“Twisted” echoed,
like pickup lines,
fleeting into shadows.

I moved my lips,
words failed—
tongue flat,
nerves crossed,
palms sweating.

She bit her lip—
eyes sultry.

I didn’t turn to sulfur.
I saw through feigned desire.
From Mom’s lips to God’s ears—
I’d find grace,
tongues slipping,
faith dancing,
love’s mystery.

We kissed until goodbye.
I still kiss the thought of us.

I rinsed my face,
saw the reflection
she wanted—
smiled her smile.
I wasn’t as bad as Dad said.

After high school,
a college acceptance
letter took her down south.

Texts dwindled
daily, then only holidays.
She married.
I did too—
twenty years
love without us.
We split.

Thirty years later,
at our reunion—
vanilla scent,
hope I’d show.
She tucked her bangs.
I blushed.

“Twisted” spilled through
gym speakers.

She wrapped her arms
around my neck,
twisting me into liking
the air hunger
in my lungs.

Lust betrayed me,
God saved me from misery—
a second chance with Amaya
twisted for life.

One the Edge

If for nothing else—
Bree, me, fast car, careless.
Love—curves—Bree brakes.

Reminders:

In October Literary Revelations will publish an art album by Andrei Marin entitled Playground of Colors: A Photographic Plea to Protect the Earth.

In November we will publish a book entitled Raw: Unmasked Haiku by Gabriela Marie Milton.

Andrei Marin

From a young age, I was fascinated by the digital world—a passion nurtured early on by my parents, who encouraged me to explore technology and design. While my father was dedicated to film photography, surrounding our home with classic cameras and rolls of film, my heart leaned toward digital medium. I fell in love with the immediacy of the screen—the ability to see a captured moment instantly.

My artistic path intersected with environmental action during my two years at the School of Arts in Bucharest. Under the mentorship of a brilliant teacher, I joined a volunteer association dedicated to clearing trash from Romania’s forests. Carrying my digital camera into those woods changed everything. As we restored the landscape, I began documenting our work, realizing that photography could become a powerful voice for environmental conservation.

Protecting our planet requires active commitment. Recycling, reuse, and conscious consumption are not abstract ideals—they are vital necessities. Every day, roughly one million tons of plastic are produced, yet only 9% is recycled, while the vast majority pollutes natural ecosystems.

This book presents my response to that reality. Through a colorful, minimalist aesthetic born of personal optimism, I transform discarded materials into vibrant visual collages. For over two decades, I have bridged my love for nature with digital art to highlight our human impact. The artwork in these pages is both a celebration of environmental stewardship and an invitation to find joy, beauty, and renewal in what we choose to preserve.

Welcome to my visual playground. Thank you for embarking on this journey with me.

Literary Revelations is thrilled to bring you this album. Cover Reveal

The Cabin by Christopher Moore – Flash Fiction

Text graphic: 'Literary Revelations not only publishes books. It creates legacies.' with a blue background and gold lettering.

Bio:

Christopher Moore is a Northern Irish writer, and a graduate of English from Queen’s University Belfast, as well as the MA in TV Fiction Writing at Glasgow Caledonian University. Alongside a number of playwriting achievements, including being longlisted for the Bruntwood Prize in 2019, and shortlisted for the Bread and Roses Playwriting Award in 2024, he has had a number of pieces of short fiction published in magazines and anthologies.

The Cabin by Christopher Moore

It’s the silence that gets to you.

Omnipresent and suffocating, it envelops the whole clearing like a fog, covering this corner of the woods in a cloak as thick as the ashen cloud above. The snow outside the cabin lies untouched, unspoiled, not so much as a single animal track to mark it, even though, in normal times, there ought to be a myriad different creatures in such a forest. Ice hangs jaggedly from the roof like a network of crystal cobwebs, betraying the abandonment within, the patient, forlorn wait for life to return through its doors. But the wait has been long, and the snow still lies unblemished, the eerie stillness interrupted only by the mist of your breath and the chattering of your teeth as you stare at the still, perfectly preserved scene before you.

You know the cabin belongs to someone, once meant something to someone, and you feel that if only you wait a little longer, something is bound to happen, someone is bound to come- surely nothing so picturesque can lie unclaimed forever.

But then you remember the reality of the world around you, something all too easy to forget in this remote, peaceful place seeped in memory. And you understand that the cabin is nothing but a monument to earlier times, a dignified, gentle defiance in the face of a broken world, but nothing more. There is no-one but you left to appreciate its serenity. The icicles hang in perfect, crystal formations, no sign of them ever thawing again, no subtle shifts in temperature, no quiet drips onto the snow beneath. You stare at this frozen museum in wonder, and you rue the selfishness of your own kind, all the petty concerns that once seemed to mean so much now distant, foolish irrelevances. Gone and forgotten.

The cabin sits as a last relic of something past. A retreat from a way of life long tipped into oblivion. And you realise, as you stare at it in longing, that it is doomed to remain unchanged, nothing but a frozen pocket of time in an empty world.

Coming Late October from Literary Revelations! 🌿

We are thrilled to announce our upcoming digital photography album by Andrei Marin, Playground of Colors: A Photographic Plea to Protect the Earth. Through Andrei’s extraordinary and vibrant photography, this album carries a powerful message: the vital importance of preserving our environment and protecting our planet for generations to come.

Literary Revelations presents: Abocaroid, Fine-art Japanese Photography

Text graphic promoting Literary Revelations, stating: 'Literary Revelations not only publishes books. It creates legacies.' on a blue background.

Bio:

“Abocaroid is not merely a photographer; this artist is a visual poet and a guardian of atmosphere.”

Through a masterful lens, Abocaroid captures the deeply evocative heartbeat of Japan. This creator’s work exists at the magnificent intersection of timeless heritage and groundbreaking digital artistry.

Every photograph is an immersive experience. Whether documenting the sacred, synchronized energy of traditional performing arts like Yosakoi, framing the ethereal majesty of Japanese landscapes, or catching the quiet, enigmatic grace of cats basking in the sun, Abocaroid breathes life into every frame. The artist’s signature Picart creations elevate reality entirely, synthesizing raw photography with exquisite fine-art aesthetics to form dreamlike, surreal masterpieces that leave a lasting imprint on the soul. To view Abocaroid’s portfolio is to witness Japan’s natural splendor and cultural legacy reborn through a visionary eye.

Abocaroid- photography – Yosakoi – A Japanese Dance

Key Elements of Yosakoi

Naruko (Wooden Clappers): Dancers hold these traditional wooden clappers in both hands, shaking them to create a sharp rhythmic clicking sound. They were originally used by farmers to scare birds away from rice fields.
Music: Teams blend traditional local folk songs (like Kōchi’s “Yosakoi-bushi”) with modern genres like rock, pop, hip-hop, samba, or electronic music. Original Kōchi rules require every team’s song to incorporate a phrase from the classic “Yosakoi Naruko Dancing” track.
Costumes: Outfits are vivid, colorful, and diverse. They range from traditional happi coats and kimonos to modern, custom-designed theatrical costumes that match each team’s unique theme.
Jikatasha (Music Trucks): These are ornately decorated mobile sound trucks that lead each team down the parade route while blasting their customized music.
Choreography & Forward Movement: Unlike stationary dances, Yosakoi is traditionally performed as a forward-moving parade along a set street path, featuring synchronized, high-impact routines and call-and-response shouting.

Haiku for Soulmates

Flash Fiction by Brooke Johnpier (she/her/hers)

Bio

Brooke Johnpier is a student at St. Bonaventure University majoring in sports media with a goal to become a full-time motorsports/automotive journalist. When she’s not writing, you can find her curled up with a good book, playing video games, listening to music, or shooting her bow and arrow on her 50-acre farm.

A Perfect Sunday

The black smoke pommeled across the sky, making the world dreary. It was a shame though, because the beautiful mountainous desert landscape was being desecrated by the pollution. And it was all because one man decided it would be funny to burn tires in a semi-circle.

The man, Jerry, was a little bit fucked-up in the head. The things he found amusing made other people shudder. Such as the feel of fresh, warm blood on his hands, or the scream of a newborn baby in pain. He loved weird things that most people would consider sadistic.

Because of this, Jerry got the urge to go steal some used tires from a tire shop, go to a part of I-15 that didn’t get a lot of traffic, arrange said tires in a semi-circle, douse them in E-85 gasoline, throw a match on them, and then set up a camping chair with a yellow, blue, and white umbrella hooked to it directly in the center of the circle one day. To him, this was entertainment. To him that was satisfaction. To him this was pleasure.

The smell of the burning rubber, the sounds of the flames crackling, and the view of nature being violated for his own benefit turned him on in a way that no-one, and nothing, should be.

Jerry had a hard-on from the smells and sights of horror, and he relished in the euphoria as the sun baked on the asphalt in front of him, creating a mirage of death to add to the scene. In front of Jerry, people were burning up in the flames, screaming for mercy, only to have their screams quelled as their vocal cords were melted into pink liquid.

The faint sound of wailing sirens brought Jerry back to reality, and he smiled. Time to go, he thought.

Jerry picked up his chair, folded up the umbrella, and ran away into the desolate landscape.

Poetry by Lauren Marie

Text graphic for Literary Revelations featuring a blue background with gold lettering stating, 'Literary Revelations not only publishes books. It creates legacies.'

Bio:

Lauren Marie is a writer from SC shedding light on the darkest moments of human fragility. Her poetry traces the course of pain through healing and all the mess in between. She tends to lean into duality and nature’s hushed truths.

Candle Burning

I left every light on
Wrestling with the night
Afraid of the dark

Defeated
I unhinged the latch to the cage
That confined my thoughts

Beneath the moon’s glow
Barefoot
I walked into the darkness

I carried sticks and stones
Of the words meant to break me

I arranged them
Like an altar
Then exhaled a raging fire

How often was I their lantern
Left cold, a coal of ash

I left the forest still weeping
A candle burning
I light now only for myself

After the Rain

I wilted like a flower kneeling for water

Only to reclaim my own roots

When the drought persisted
The ground beneath me
Became my refuge

My intuition, I had abandoned
Now a guarded, steady sooth

Whatever storm tries to tame me
Let the wind remove
