My Debut Poetry Collection Release! 'Neon Lights and Plane Tickets' 🎉
Hi!

I am pleased to announce that my first poetry collection is now live and available for purchase. Thank you to my followers and others for their support and encouraging me to make such a big step. Without it, I doubt I would've taken the leap of faith. 'Neon Lights and Plane Tickets' is a collection comprised of 72 stories told in epic poetic prose style. It is sci-fi and fantasy themed; in this universe, humans and non humanoids alike share planets and galaxies. Despite their physical and cultural differences, the one thing that ties them together is inhabiting cities full of mesmerizing lights and landscapes. Deceptive illusions of sophisticated utopias that serve only as distractions to hide how terribly decayed their societies are at their foundations.

There are a lot of topics and themes covered in this collection. Hopeful travelers leaving their homeworlds behind in search of a better life and purpose, some succeeding while others do not. A deep dive into the seedy underbellies and criminal activities; explore futuristic cuisine, extreme sports, music and scenery. Urban legends, cosmic horror and dystopian societies. And introspection on both the good and awful aspects of human nature through the lens of the mundane, highly speculative scenarios, and consumerism. There is also fantasy and a little bit of romance. I am very proud of this collection and I know you will have a fun time reading it.

If this sounds interesting and appealing, you can buy your copy at either Barnes and Noble or Amazon. Also, if inclined, you can also see some of the reviews I have received so far on Annalise Reads and Readers' Favorite (5-stars rating). Come check it out!

P.S. Eli Alemán and Elsbeth Mareile G.C. are both my pen names.

Once again, thank you. It means a lot to me.
