Hey all! I guess this is the best time to visit this Goodreads page, before the book starts to circulate and reviews come in!

In case you missed it on Instagram and Twitter, BROKEN WISH is my dark fractured fairy tale coming October 6, 2020 from Disney! It's the first in a four-book series called The Mirror (all written by different authors) about a curse that spans multiple generations of the same family. I am kicking off the series with the first branch of the family tree and detailing how the curse first began in 1800s Germany, with a young girl named Elva who meets her destiny when she goes looking for the Witch of the North Woods.

The book takes place in Hanau, which is the birthplace of the Brothers Grimm -- a perfect setting since my story pays tribute to classic dark fairy tales told on cold winter nights.

BROKEN WISH has everything I love: magic, romance, dark woods full of legend and mystery, and complicated, misunderstood women.

I truly hope you'll all enjoy the story!

Victor I'm wondering about the content and it's appropriateness for young readers. For example, I was only allowed to read the first 3 books in the Harry Potter series. Do you think this is something someone my age could enjoy or is it more for teenagers?


Irina I think it is appropriate for any age, just read it today!
