Claudia is distraught at the loss of her friend, but is even more disturbed by her dreams, which seem to take her to another place called Crossroads.

There, Claudia meets Michael, a nephilim, a half angel, half human, whom she often meets in her dreams. It turns out that this isn't her first visit to Crossroads, which is an enigma for no human can ever travel there until Claudia. Now the fallen and demons are after her, suspecting she must be special and it is up to Michael and the other nephilims to protect her. Can Michael fight his growing feelings for Claudia and protect her as a guardian angel should? The answer awaits you! Follow the exciting path to Crossroads!

I met Mary Ting in person at an event put on by our publisher, Karen Fuller. From the moment we met, we became fast friends. It has been a pleasure getting to know her as a person and a fellow writer. When she called me last night to say she won, Mary was still in shock and felt extremely humbled. To me, the award couldn't have gone to a better person. Everyone, go and purchase Crossroads, the first book in this incredible saga about a girl who falls in love with an angel. Thank you Mary Ting for all you do for so many people. Sending you huge hugs!!
