"Combining horror, fantasy & mystery with elements of the traditional hero's journey, A Difficult Mirror contains a unique & detailed plot, rich characterization & a very real sense of danger…" - Michael K. Rose, author of The Emberlyn Chronicles and The Sullivan Saga

"Read this - it will blow your mind." - Scott Bury, author of The Bones of the Earth, Army of Worn Soles and many more

Everyone has a void. Who - or what - will fill it? A journey through limbo to the gates of Hell and a way home is wrought with love, loss and pain.

When Marie Evans meets a strange man on a deserted road and a body is found mutilated in the desert, a deep resentment teetering on the edge of release is about to explode. Someone, somewhere has drawn a line in the sand, and when Harlan Reese, Marie's ex-lover, enters a forest in central Arizona looking for his daughter, that line will be crossed.

In a world between Heaven and Hell, the past becomes the present as Harlan and Marie find each other...and so much more. Four-year-old Justine is lost to the world and with her an ability feared by many. An elderly man wanders alone with a deep secret. A broken detective is torn between duty and hopelessness.

And hidden within the void in which they're trapped, something wants them all dead.

Facing the past sucks. Life is, after all, a difficult mirror and not everyone leaves that mirror unbroken.

When the past becomes the present, how difficult is your mirror?

About the author

Benjamin X. Wretlind

Benjamin X. Wretlind is a speculative fiction author who writes science fiction, dark fantasy, magical realism, and some horror. He has been--at different times, of course–a fry cook, range boy, greens maintenance technician, reservations agent, room service attendant, editor, banquet server, meteorologist, instructor, program manager for Internet applications, curriculum developer, training simulation engineer, leadership facilitator/coach, process improvement consultant, learning manager and organizational psychologist. He currently builds and facilitates leadership courses at Yale.

Benjamin is the creator of the Transit series of novels, which has been called "an engaging, personality-driven tale with detailed SF worldbuilding." He has also written and published many novels, collections, and the weirdest creative writing book ever. Owing his life’s viewpoint to Bob Ross, he has also painted a few things, thrown a few paintings away, and probably has a painting on an easel right now. Oh, and he loves wood working, too.

It’s all about creating.

Benjamin lives with his wife Jesse in Colorado.
