PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Not all authors can say that their novel started out as a song lyric, but for musician and songwriter Brian Corley, that's exactly what happened. GILM!, his contemporary YA magical realism novel is currently being nationally released in conjunction with a new song of the same name, a collaboration with his indie rock band The Mars McClanes.

Key Points: 
  • "GILM!"
  • the song came about during a songwriting session in which a word was sought rhyming with film.
  • But when his professor dad, a collector of magical oddities, brings a mysterious book of spells home, the tome could be instrumental to Geoff winning a seemingly impossible bet with Corinne.
