Mirror Mirror - Halloween Party of the Century

Sandra (Sandy) Tillman, a 32-year-old real estate agent, lives with her best friend, Melissa (Mel), who has just inherited an estate that had been tied up in probate for three years after her grandfather passed away from questionable circumstances. Mel thought the old house needed an accidental fire and a bulldozer. Sandy thought it would be the best place for the Halloween party of the century.

It was, and so was the party, until the house burned to the ground due to supernatural activity, but not before Sandy connected with an entity from the eleventh dimension through an ancient tome titled "Mirror Mirror." Sandy was drawn into powers she wanted nothing to do with because of an ancient book and a mirror...any mirror. The story is filled with unexpected twists and a growing relationship between three-dimensional Sandy Tillman and an entity she calls Paul from the eleventh dimension, who is never far from that mirror, or any mirror that serves as a portal.

Paul becomes a guardian of sorts and uses his powers to protect Sandy from an assault by invasive means [no spoiler here] and ultimately helps her avoid law enforcement for something for which he was guilty. How could an entity, nobody but Sandy could see or hear, get himself arrested for second-degree murder? Right, you don't.

Law enforcement cannot arrest what they cannot see, so they arrest the only other person to witness the event, Sandy Tillman. She was not guilty of anything but faced felony charges stemming from a tumultuous trial and guilty verdict that threatened to send her to the State Penitentiary for fifteen years. Several unexpected twists and narrow escapes through time travel, courtesy of Paul, take Sandy on a journey she neither planned nor approved of; however, the alternative of wearing an orange jumpsuit for the next 15 years of her life did not suit her tastes either. An unwanted relationship slowly develops, but it has an impossible chance of working out over an interdimensional gap so large, never mind that Paul was 100% pure invisible energy and Sandy 3-dimensional flesh and blood, or so she thought.

The resulting journey covers more ground than the concept of time and place when an emotionally charged, heartfelt relationship develops that neither of them wanted. Can a relationship even exist across an interdimensional gap? The exploration of that very possibility gave this story legs that shocked the author, dancing between different dimensions, at least one parallel universe, and fluctuating timelines. “Mirror Mirror – Halloween Party of the Century” is a journey worth reading.
