An Independent Press
Plume & Page Press is an independent publisher championing new and independent voices. We're proud to introduce our debut author — with more joining our list through 2026 and beyond.
Thirty-five years after their first love ended, Christina has the life she built on purpose — a steady marriage, a career she's proud of, and a past she thought she'd made peace with. So when she sends Mark a random friend request, it feels harmless. Just two people who used to know each other reconnecting.
For Mark, it was the opening of a door he thought he'd nailed firmly shut on his past. But once opened, some doors refuse to close — and the past stops being something you remember fondly and becomes something you can't escape.
Told across dual timelines — the ache of first love in 1989 and the reckoning it stirs up decades later — A Shattering of Memory is a story about the people we choose, the ones we leave behind, and what it means to discover you're someone else's unfinished chapter.
We are proud to introduce indie author Holly K. Miller's debut novel A Shattering of Memory. Available on Amazon & Kindle Unlimited.
“I loved this book. I like how the author goes from past to present and back again — she develops the characters beautifully. In the past timeline, I found myself remembering my own high school years and my first love. It's totally relatable. Well written. Great job Holly!”

“It took me on a journey through my own memories. Just when I thought I knew where the story was going, it took a turn I never saw coming. If you enjoy stories filled with nostalgia, heartfelt emotion, and a plot that keeps you guessing, I highly recommend it. A story that stayed with me long after I turned the final page.”
— Trish
A Shattering of Memory came to me after a real reconnection with someone from my own past. That single action cracked open a series of memories that became the past timeline in the book.
The present timeline is the “what if” part of the story. What if the connection had gone further? What if there were still unresolved feelings? What if someone took it too far?
Those questions built the present timeline in this dual-timeline novel.
What if the past doesn't want closure? What if it wants control?
