This week, Patrick and Tracy welcome Alix E. Harrow, author of A Mirror Mended.
\nAbout A Mirror Mended: Zinnia Gray, professional fairy-tale fixer and lapsed Sleeping Beauty is over rescuing snoring princesses. Once you\u2019ve rescued a dozen damsels and burned fifty spindles, once you\u2019ve gotten drunk with twenty good fairies and made out with one too many members of the royal family, you start to wish some of these girls would just get a grip and try solving their own narrative issues.
\nJust when Zinnia\u2019s beginning to think she can’t handle one more princess, she glances into a mirror and sees another face looking back at her: the shockingly gorgeous face of evil, asking for her help. Because there\u2019s more than one person trapped in a story they didn\u2019t choose. Snow White’s Evil Queen has found out how her story ends and she’s desperate for a better ending. She wants Zinnia to help her before it\u2019s too late for everyone.
\nWill Zinnia accept the Queen’s poisonous request, and save them both from the hot iron shoes that wait for them, or will she try another path?
