Broken Thread Publishing LLC is an independent publishing house built on a foundation of authentic expertise and diverse storytelling. Founded by Mark Mynhier - a former LAPD forensic investigator, Air Force combat photographer, and 45-year veteran of tabletop gaming - our mission is simple: publish stories that matter, told by those who truly know their worlds.

We believe in the power of genuine experience. Whether investigating crime scenes, rolling dice in epic campaigns, or exploring the boundaries between reality and imagination, we bring insider perspectives to every page. Our five distinct publishing verticals reflect this commitment to authenticity - each targeting specific audiences with content that respects both the craft and the reader.

From the dark fantasy of the Broken Thread Saga to the accessible wisdom of modern stoicism, from irreverent fun with New Age topics to classic tabletop gaming adventures, and heartwarming children's stories from Pawpaw Mark - we publish what we know, and we know what we publish.

Our Philosophy:

Authentic Expertise Over Hype: We write what we know. Every vertical is built on real-world experience, not market trends.

Clear Brand Separation: We respect our readers by maintaining distinct identities for each publishing vertical. Fantasy readers find fantasy, gamers find gaming, stoics find philosophy - no confusion, no cross-contamination.

Quality Over Speed: We publish when the work is ready, not when the calendar demands it. Conservative, systematic growth ensures every release meets our standards.
