The Broken Mirror is Book Two of the 1821 Productions series. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Nominated for the Eric Hoffer Award 2025 for Excellence in Independent Publishing and WINNER of two categories—Military Self-Help and Self-Development—at the March 2025 International Impact Book Awards.

This is a mental and psychological tool for your life’s toolbox—something that could help save someone battling inner demons, especially veterans transitioning from military to civilian life. Every day, 22 veterans and their loved ones die by suicide. I refuse to stay silent. I am the voice of the voiceless.

I’ve been through hell and back, and here I open Pandora’s box to share my story of trauma, survival, and hope. This book is also an apology to my daughter, a two-time world champion, for the years I lost to heavy medication when I didn’t even recognize her.

Every purchase—softcover, hardcover, or Kindle—goes directly into my daughter’s private account for her future. This isn’t about money—it’s about the message, the journey, and the fight to keep going.
