A Brother's Reflection

by C.C. Alma

Joel Murphy-Chan is whistling a happy tune and admiring his reflection in the mirror as he gets dressed. He appreciates his life. He knows that he has it all—good looks, a girlfriend, and a job—but soon he will question it, all of it, and his supreme confidence will be shattered to the floor like a fallen mirror.

About the author

Hello to anyone in the universe who might be reading my bio! I was born in San Francisco, California, an American city on a small blue planet on the edge of the Milky Way. My people came to the United States from the Philippines, who came to the Philippines from China and Spain — before that, it's a complicated mystery with too many ancestors involved.

Like most people, I must work to eat. I am an assistant at a foundation. I write fiction in my spare time because my life dream is to tell stories that entertain and inspire others. I see lots of weird, wacky, and wonderful things going on in all our lives — and I want to do what I can, with whatever talent I have, to explore these in story form.

I am the author of the novel The Earth Girl and Queen Eliza and several short stories that are collected in the anthology Stories in the Okay Future.

I grew up in Virginia, but I now live in Northern California.

[Anneliese Grassi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very sweet and powerful

This is short and sweet and packed with a powerful message. It doesn't matter who you are, no one is perfect, and we should be happy with who we are. The love that the brothers have for one another is amazing and unconditional. Beautifully written.

I won this book in a Goodreads Giveaway.
