Dear Mirror: A Poetic Journey of Self-Reflection and Empowerment

Tell us about the key characters

The main character is intended to be both the author and the reader. Dear Mirror is dedicated to anyone ready to finally recognize their reflection and strives to drive the point that we are all connected through struggle and triumph.

What is your blurb or synopsis of the book?

Broken into four parts Convex, Refraction, Concave, and Reflection, this collection of poetry and prose explores some of life’s most difficult challenges – mental health issues, relationship struggles, and societal standards.

Dear Mirror is a book of empowerment poetry that will guide the reader from a place of insecurity, darkness, heartbreak, and pain to discovering the true power that comes with hope, perseverance, and owning one’s true identity by embracing genuine self-acceptance and self-love.

Share an excerpt

The curtain opens to a place of darkness. A place of
convex distortion. A place of blame and insecurity.
A place of outward perspective and a lack of control.
Though, through a series of trials, heartbreaks, and
epiphanies, the story and the character begin to change –
the light begins to bend and refraction occurs. The story
twists to a concave, inward inspection. A claiming of
identity and responsibility. During the process of looking
within – a new strength is born. An unstoppable power
that cannot be shaken by the storms outside – not mental
health, not betrayal, not societal standards. The
foundation is strong because it is true – the crystal-clear
reflection of self that can’t be seen in any mirror; the most
powerful force on Earth.

That is very deep and meaningful. Beautiful! Do you have a favorite scene?

Inner Peace on Page 94 – the first poem in the final chapter, Reflection. This is the first poem of epiphany after the struggle experienced in the previous chapters.

What advice would you give a beginner?

First and foremost, write for yourself. Your message may not be for everybody but it is for somebody and that somebody needs to hear what you have to say. Stories outlive their tellers. Stories are your legacy. Don’t give up and don’t ever stop.

I’ve been searching for you for centuries.
You disappeared, leaving me alone
Then I found you yet you didn’t remember me.

Do I dare risk losing you again?
I can’t ignore what I’m feeling
My strong primal pull
Forgive me but I don’t want to let you go

Time seemed to freeze the moment I saw you
The world around me disappeared
Your hair, black as night shone like raven feather in the sun
Your frozen green eyes tore my breath away

Something about you seemed so inhuman
I let you drag me into your darkness
Yet I know, I didn’t want to let you go

In this guise, he has authored seven technical books, written numerous software- and system-related articles and papers, and spoken at more conferences than he can possibly remember. He’s also proud to have been named a Distinguished Engineer by the Association of Computing Machinery, although his pride is tempered somewhat by his fear that the term “distinguished” makes him sound like a graybeard academic rather than an active engineer whose beard is still slightly more red than gray.
By night and on weekends, his alter ego writes modern paranormal fantasy, apocalyptic science fiction, action and adventure novels and relaxes by handcrafting magic wands from various magical woods and mystical gemstones. His first foray into fiction is the book Magical Wands: A Cornucopia of Wand Lore written under the pen name Wolfrick Ignatius Feuerschmied.

Kado

Kado: Lost Treasure of the Kadohadacho
by E.Russell Braziel
Genre: YA Historical Adventure
KADO – Lost Treasure of the Kadohadacho
is the saga of eighteen-year old Tom Murrell, who in 1818 strikes out with his family from Tennessee to the “Arkansaw” Territory to build a new life in the frontier west of the Mississippi. Tom’s father, John Murrell, plans to carve a homestead out of the wilderness, but Tom wants no part of it. He wants to do something else with his life besides spend it behind a plow, but it seems he has no choice in the matter. Their expedition would take the Murrell family and their traveling companions through the perilous Great Raft, a 100-mile tangle of broken trees, stumps and hidden perils between Natchitoches, the last civilized town on their journey and Long Prairie, their destination on the banks of the Red River.
Everything changes for Tom and John when they encounter an Indian massacre — four Osage are murdering a Kado Xinesi (high priest), and his guide. Trying to save the Kado, Tom is forced to kill one of the Osage braves and is almost killed himself. Before Tiatesun, the Kado holy man dies, he makes Tom his blood brother and draws a map in his own blood in John’s Bible to some place called Na-Da-cah-ah. Tiatesun wants them to somehow get the map to his tribal elders. This draws Tom into a raging conflict between the Kado and their arch enemies, the Osage. His new friends Mattie and James say there is no alternative. They must use the map to find Na-Da-cah-ah. Only then can Tom be sure that his family and friends will be safe.
But it is a race against time – a race against Wey Chutta’s band of renegade Osage. Dangers are everywhere. The only chance to save his family is for Tom, Mattie and James to join with six Kado warriors, make sense from the map and the many clues they uncover on their quest, and discover the real Na-Da-cah-ah. It could already be too late. Because the Osage know more than they should. Everything and everyone important to Tom is threatened unless he can solve the mysteries of the Kadohadacho.
E. Russell (“Rusty”) Braziel is the author of KADO – Lost Treasure of the Kadohadacho.
