Born Jan 7, 1977 in her hometown of Clarksville, TN, B.M. Song (Brandy-Michelle) is an up and coming newly published author/poet. She is ecstatic about her first book of prose, "Liquid Reflections: A Stream of Fluid Prose" to come out October 10th of this year! She has been writing since the age of twelve starting out as a lyricist. After the passing of her grandmother from a long fight with cancer, her poetry became even more defined and profound, which has thus enabled her to further develop herself as the poet and author she is today.
<p style="margin:0px 0px 14px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;"><strong>"A somber, disturbing mystery fused with a scathing look at the fashion industry. </strong><strong>Mangin writes in a confident, razor-edged style."</strong><strong> - Kirkus Reviews</strong></p><p style="margin:-4px 0px 14px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;"><strong>Condom dresses and space helmets have debuted on fashion runways.</strong></p><p style="margin:-4px 0px 14px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">A dead body becomes the trend when a coat made of human skin saunters down fashion's biggest stage. The body is identified as Annabelle Leigh, the teenager who famously disappeared over a decade ago from her boyfriend's New York City mansion.</p><p style="margin:-4px 0px 14px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">This new evidence casts suspicion back on the former boyfriend, Cecil LeClaire. Now a monk, he is forced to return to his dark and absurd childhood home to clear his name. He teams up with Ava Germaine, a renegade ex-model. And together, they investigate the depraved and lawless modeling industry behind Cecil's family fortune.</p><p style="margin:-4px 0px 14px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">They find erotic canes, pet rats living in crystal castles, and dresses made of crushed butterfly wings. But Cecil finds more truth in the luxury goods than in the people themselves. Everyone he meets seems to be wearing a person-suit. Terrified of showing their true selves, the glitterati put on flamboyant public personas to make money and friends. Can Cecil find truth in a world built on lies?</p><p style="margin:-4px 0px 0px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;"><strong>In high fashion modeling, selling bodies is organized crime.</strong></p>
Liquid Reflections has been over a six year labor of love. The written word has kept me sane and having the gift to express it in such a beautiful form is one of my greatest accomplishments. Having it published is an even bigger accomplishment. Something I just felt would happen one day. Oddly enough, I am still wrapping my mind around the whole idea of it all! Every piece of prose in this collection is a part of me. It is me becoming vulnerable to the world, something that has been the most difficult thing for me to do. However, as an artist, a writer, it's something that is a necessary evil for the sake of the success of my work. I hope those who read this will be able to see it for what it is.
