Celebrating 5 years of Fractured Mirror

This month marks five years of Fractured Mirror Publishing! If you've been following us on social media you may have seen our post marking the day. The founding three (Emily, Allison, and Alex) reunited for the first time since 2021 to commemorate the occasion.

During our reunion we had a 4-hour long business retreat where we really worked on our social media marketing. We now have a system in place to showcase not only our new and upcoming releases, but also show love to our older novels as well.

From the bottom of our hearts we want to thank our authors and all of our readers, without you none of this would be possible! Fractured Mirror has always been a passion project for us and the passion you all bring for our books and our work keeps us going.

Thank you all for allowing us to continue doing what we're doing!

What's in the works

Now, onto what you probably came here for: upcoming releases! Debut novel Destiny Lane by Jared TLC is scheduled to release later this month, May 27th!

DESTINY LANE BLURB:

When 13-year-old Maya Lane’s mother suddenly dies on the night of her eighth-grade graduation, a voice whispers in her head to go by a new name—Destiny. Desperate to shake dark memories of her final days with her namesake mother, Destiny Lane is born. Along with the voice in Destiny’s mind, she can’t escape the feeling that she’s constantly being watched.

The person who is most understanding of Destiny’s inner turmoil is her older brother, Lucky. The two are each others’ rocks through thick and thin. Following an uncharacteristic fight about a local legend centered around the disappearance of children, Lucky goes missing himself. Destiny Lane sets out to find him, only to get trapped on an endless street bearing her name.

After a terrifying encounter with a creature masked as her dead mother, Destiny gets help from a child named Little who looks remarkably like her younger self. When Destiny joins Little at her home, the girl’s swarm of sisters doesn’t just resemble Destiny—they are her. Dozens of Destinys of all ages inhabit the mysterious house. The oldest, wisest, and most beautiful of them is a woman the children call Miss Am. Miss Am offers our Destiny a chance to erase her painful past and stay here forever. Will Destiny take the opportunity to start her life anew or will she find Lucky and use their memories to forge a brighter future?

Keep an eye out because coming soon is A Winged Embrace by Toni Mobley. Further down the pipeline, we have so many sequels and third books coming out! A Certain Slant of Light and The Violet Mage sequels are in the works; The Chronicles of Crispin Lipton (Werewolves of Bristol Manor) and The Bloodstream Saga (Small Blue World) both have third books coming!
