Investment advisor turned novelist Gabriel B. Wisdom delivers a pulse-pounding eco-thriller of murder, lithium mining, and desert survival. If you crave thrillers with brains and heart, Salton Sea Tales delivers.” — Paul Slansky SALTON SEA, CA, UNITED STATES, January 22, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Gabriel B. Wisdom , a veteran investment advisor and longtime broadcaster, announces the release of Salton Sea Tales , a gripping eco-thriller and speculative adventure set against the eerie, volatile landscape of Southern California’s Salton Sea. Blending ecological disaster, cartel intrigue, and high-stakes survival, the novel delivers propulsive suspense for readers drawn to eco-thrillers, crime sagas, and speculative fiction. In Salton Sea Tales, readers are transported to the sun-scorched heart of the desert, where the shimmering Salton Sea hides secrets, danger, and the lure of fortune. The story ignites with a mysterious plane crash that exposes a tangled web of murder, lithium mining, and cartel ambition. At the center of the chaos are Charles Horse, a cunning tribal leader with a shadowy past, and Dr. Geoff “Mahalo” Mulholland, a brilliant but haunted scientist whose quiet life is upended by violence and conspiracy. As alliances shift and the ground beneath them threatens to give way, these unforgettable characters must navigate a world where every choice could mean salvation or catastrophe. From underground caverns to anarchic desert outposts, and from cartel boardrooms to the unpredictable sea, Salton Sea Tales is a pulse-pounding journey through blurred lines of greed, justice, and survival. Wisdom’s background brings an unusual depth to the novel’s moral complexity and high-stakes terrain. He is the Co-Founder and Managing Director of American Money Management, LLC. Alongside finance, Wisdom built a long-running broadcast career at legendary rock stations KGB-FM San Diego and KMET-FM Los Angeles. He hosted Brainstorm, a nationally syndicated radio show sponsored by Omni Magazine, and provided market commentary for CBS radio, NPR, KNX Los Angeles (2003–2021), and Mottek on Money on KABC Los Angeles.

He holds an MA in Novel Writing and a PhD in Speculative Fiction from Middlesex University, London.

Is a Super Bloom Coming to Anza-Borrego Desert? Fox 5 San Diego news recently spoke with Sicco Rood of the Steele/Burnand Anza-Borrego Desert Research Center about the vibrant wildflowers beginning to appear across the region. While the landscape near Henderson Canyon is already bursting with purple desert verbena , desert sunflowers , and white dune primroses , this is technically a fall bloom —not yet the rare and famous Super Bloom . A true Super Bloom spans many more square miles and requires a perfect combination of well-timed rain , cool temperatures , no drought , and minimal wind . If these conditions align, early March could bring a spectacular bloom like the last major one seen in 2019 . For now, visitors can enjoy the peace and beauty of this early bloom, with fewer crowds and great photo ops in areas like Coyote Canyon and the Badlands . But remember, a heat wave or lack of rain could still cut the season short. Now’s a great time to visit—just in case nature doesn’t go full Super Bloom this year!

Guadalupe Procession Honors Tradition in Borrego Springs Borrego Springs observed the annual Guadalupe Procession on Saturday, December 13, as community members marked the occasion with prayer, music, and a public walk led by Fr. Anthony “Tony” Stanonik of St. Richard’s Catholic Church. The route started at Christmas Circle, continued past the Borrego Art Institute and the Borrego Springs Post Office, and made its way to St. Richard’s Catholic Church. The observance centers on Our Lady of Guadalupe, the name given to the Virgin Mary following her 1531 apparition to Saint Juan Diego in Mexico. According to Catholic tradition, her image appeared on Juan Diego’s cloak, becoming a powerful and enduring symbol of faith, Mexican identity, and the Catholic Church. Her feast day, celebrated annually on December 12, is among the most significant religious observances in the Americas and draws millions of pilgrims to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City. Throughout the walk, traditional music filled the route, and several participants wore masks and attire reflecting Guadalupe symbolism. Families, longtime residents, and visitors took part, highlighting the multigenerational nature of the tradition. The gathering continued at St. Richard’s Catholic Church with Mass and an evening celebration. For many in Borrego Springs, the annual procession remains a meaningful expression of faith during the Advent season and a reflection of the area’s enduring cultural and spiritual heritage.

Ricardo Breceda’s New Sculptures Installed on Borrego Springs Road The community gathered on December 5 for the unveiling of Battle of the Desert, the newest addition to Borrego Springs’ iconic Sky Art by sculptor Ricardo Breceda. Installed at 4990 Borrego Springs Road, the pair of towering steel figures—a Greater Roadrunner and a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake—now join the region’s well-known collection of more than 130 Breceda sculptures that define the local landscape. Commissioned by Rams Hill and Borrego Community Builders, a Rams Hill initiative supporting community development and Borrego Community Homes, the installation highlights the wildlife and ecological relationships that shape the Anza-Borrego Desert. The roadrunner and rattlesnake are two of the desert’s most recognizable species, each playing a key role in rodent control and ecological balance. A permanent interpretive sign was also introduced during the event, explaining the meaning behind the sculptures and Breceda’s long-standing impact on desert art in Borrego Springs. Speakers included Rodney Bruce (Rams Hill), Wade Beane (Borrego Art Institute and Honorary Mayor of Borrego Springs), Gabriela Dow and Jennifer Sencion (Borrego Community Builders), Harry Turner (COO), and Ricardo Breceda, who spoke about the creativity and craftsmanship behind his work. The program acknowledged the collaborative planning behind the installation and the ongoing efforts to expand public art in the community. Following the unveiling, attendees were invited to a reception at Rams Hill. Breceda’s new roadrunner and rattlesnake join the larger Sky Art story—a regional landmark that continues to draw visitors, celebrate desert wildlife, and honor the artistic history shaped by the late philanthropist Dennis Avery’s original vision for large-scale, outdoor public sculpture in Borrego Springs.
