    Growing up in 1860s China, Tam Ling Fan has lived a life of comfort.  
     
    Her father is wealthy enough to provide for his family but unconventional enough to spare Ling Fan from the debilitating foot-binding required of most well-off girls. But Ling Fan’s life is upended when her brother dies of influenza and their father  
    is imprisoned under false accusations. Hoping to earn the money that will secure her father’s release, Ling Fan disguises herself as a boy and takes her brother’s contract to work for the Central Pacific Railroad Company in America. 
     
    Life on “the Gold Mountain” is grueling and dangerous. To build the railroad that will connect the west coast to the east, Ling Fan and other Chinese laborers lay track and blast tunnels through the treacherous peaks of the Sierra Nevada, facing  
    cave-ins, avalanches, and blizzards—along with hostility from white Americans. 
     
    When someone threatens to expose Ling Fan’s secret, she must take an even greater risk to save what’s left of her family … and to escape the Gold Mountain alive.

    The #1 Bestselling series! 
    
    THRONE OF THE FALLEN is book #8 in Morgan Rice’s bestselling epic fantasy series KINGS AND SORCERERS (which begins with RISE OF THE DRAGONS, a free download)! 
    
    In THRONE OF THE FALLEN, the twins Lyra and Kael have grown up on the hidden Isle of Whispers under the guardianship of the mysterious Thara, unaware of their royal heritage or the prophecy that surrounds their birth. As they approach their fifteenth birthday, their powers begin to manifest in extraordinary ways—Lyra healing with golden light while Kael commands shadows with remarkable control.
    
    But ancient forces have been searching for them. When Queen Isolde's crystal warriors discover their sanctuary, the twins must defend their home against overwhelming odds. Even as they repel this first attack, a greater threat emerges from the shadows. As their peaceful existence shatters around them and their beloved guardian falls, the twins face separation for the first time in their lives. Meanwhile, deep within Isolde's fortress, Queen Kyra stirs within her crystal prison, sensing her children's peril across the magical bonds that connect them. The time has come for a mother's awakening, a sister's courage, and a brother's sacrifice—as the fate of kingdoms hangs in the balance.
    
    With its strong atmosphere and complex characters, KINGS AND SORCERERS is a sweeping saga of knights and warriors, of kings and lords, of honor and valor, of magic, destiny, monsters and dragons. It is a story of love and broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is fantasy at its finest, inviting us into a world that will live with us forever, one that will appeal to all ages and genders. 
    
    Future books in the series are also available!

    We may come from different places and ethnicities and speak different languages, but the thread of human experience binds us all. These commonalities are the fodder for all expressive art forms, including poetry. When a poet pens profoundly emotional and personal ideas, emotions, and experiences through the rhythmic arrangements of words, the prosaic transforms into poetry. Poems have always held a special place in my life journey as I transitioned from a young boy from a middle-class Rajasthani family to an NRI and owner of multiple businesses in the US and India. Poems, especially those by great Indian poets like Gulzar Sahab, have inspired me, given me solace in trying times, and given me a quiet joy that is almost indescribable. The book is a collection of poems inspired by my life events and relationships. It is my tribute to the people I have cherished most; but also, to the renowned poets before me whose works have given me the courage to find my own poetic voice.It is my sincere hope that the poems in this book will help you transcend, even if momentarily so, to a place of peaceful joy and contentment
