📚 Have You Read The Missing Reflection?

Honest question for you:

Have you read The Missing Reflection yet?

If yes — I would love to know what you thought. The spooky moments, the questions, the “okay but WHAT was that?” reactions… all of it.

If not, this is your friendly reminder that it’s available direct from me or wide at most major book retailers.

👉 Link in bio if you want to grab a copy or leave a review.

And speaking of reviews… here’s the writer side of the conversation for a second:

Reviews are incredibly important for indie authors. They help:

• other readers decide if a book is for them

• bookstores and platforms take notice

• authors keep their books visible in very crowded spaces

You don’t have to write an essay, but even a few sentences make a huge difference.

So now I’m curious:

👉 Do you usually pick a book based on the cover, the blurb, reviews, or pure vibes?

Let’s talk in the comments. I’m genuinely interested. ✨

A Letter I Wish I Could Still Read Aloud
Two years ago, I lost my dad. Grief has taught me that love doesn’t end when someone is gone. It lives on in the lessons they taught, the values they passed down, and the memories that continue to shape who we become. Today, I choose gratitude over sorrow. Gratitude for the time we shared.
