Mixer: on a Strand
SECRETS KILL. Miracles go wrong. Just when you’re resigned to it, an ordinary life can turn…extraordinary.
MERRI DWYER is a moderately successful businesswoman with a pleasant life, only slightly quirky friends and an odd habit of driving south when she’s not paying attention. You’d never guess she’s heir to one of the world’s greatest treasures, one that can alter the course of humanity. Even she doesn’t know. Below the surface of her ordinary life, nothing is as it seems. Family hides secrets, friends are foes, and dreams wait to awaken a long forgotten truth.
ONCE UPON ANOTHER LIFE, Merri wasn’t Merri. Once, she rode the Strands of life, threw miracles, and hobnobbed with Angels. Then a miracle went wrong, and she fell, and forgot, and became ordinary, for awhile.
NOW, SHE'S ON THE LAM with her blind date and a police detective—and she doesn’t trust either of them. Plagued by a stalker and a supernatural conspiracy she damn well refuses to believe, Merri wants answers. Preferably, before someone kills her. Battling self-doubt and a nagging headache, Merri begins to piece together an improbable, remarkable truth that leads her on a quest to save a powerful family relic from falling into the wrong hands.
WEAVING TOGETHER WIT, intrigue and string theory, Mixer: On a Strand is a fast-paced inter-dimensional mystery rich with strong characters, humorous dialogue, and a touch of romance on the run. Mixer is a timeless hero’s journey, Visionary Fiction for a new age, that illuminates the miraculous in the ordinary and explores the relevance of destiny in a world of free will.

The Miracle Mixer is a really interesting, refreshing tale. It is well written and interestingly done. It has at least three different situations going on at the same time, but not in an intrusive way. The author did a great job keeping the reader interested in everything going on. I like the way the story is told and the role the character Reeshanna plays in it. She is lovable, naïve and in a great danger. It makes a great mix for a great story and a wonderful book as this one is.
Reeshanna was one of the few Miracle Mixers qualified to work in the Web’s linear traces. Here is where they give miracles to the linears, who are the humans in the world, to change their futures.
Miracle Mixers are attached by a slim strand of their consciousness to someone in their dimension so nothing can pull them into a linear’s life. On this trip Reeshanna has forgotten to attach herself and when she hops the line she needs to follow she falls into the reality of the linears. Now she is trapped in a line that doesn’t have a defined future and she has gone through the veil of forgetfulness and remembers nothing. Worse yet, her elders don’t know if she did it on purpose, or she was made to fall—which would mean that the shadows black hands have something to do with it
The Miracle Mixer is a great read for late teens and adults alike. They both will find it a great read for the beach or to relieve boredom from a long trip. It is a wonderfully written tale that will make you want much more even after you close its covers.

Well written. Easy to become a part of and I love the fact that there are foretold hidden surprises. Everything ties together so fluidly. Theresa is an excellent writer.
