The Crossings: Inspired by True Events

It's a ghost story...with a twist...inspired by true events.

There's a grisly fatality on the railroad near Lake Champlain. The Road Foreman called to investigate the tragedy, is a woman by the name of Claire Montgomery, who also happens to be both a Witch as well as a Medium.

When Claire arrives on the scene and climbs up onto the engine to interview the traumatized Engineer, the investigation begins to spiral out of control as the spirit of the girl who was hit appears inside and communicates with her. The exchange troubles Claire to her core as she begins to suspect a crime has been committed.

With the help of her skeptical best friend, Teri Cooper, the two embark on a dangerous game of cat and mouse in the darkest regions of the spirit world to solve the crime.

"A wonderful departure from the normal murder mystery...exciting, suspenseful, and edgy!" —Barry Kerch, Drummer for Shinedown

“I knew after reading the first few pages that I would be along for the whole ride!” —James Bonner, President at New York & Atlantic Railway

"As a professional medium, I appreciated Claire’s character deeply. Reading this book, I could really relate to the struggles that Claire faced; the deep and compelling call from the spirit world commingled with the world around her which sees it as imaginary at best, or her, as crazy at worst. Even her own questioning of her abilities and sanity, at times, is the difficult struggle of a medium who has to live in two different worlds at the same time. Deciding between listening to the heart or the head may seem simple to some, but to Claire and those of us like her, it is a constant balancing act in this world of modernity. I appreciate the space that this story has given to explore that challenging (and not just the "cool") aspect of that life.  Claire faces it all with courage and conviction. She is my new hero!" —Reverend Julie MacDonald, Psychic-Medium, Author, Teacher, www.mediumjuliemacdonald.com

"It's easy to imagine the dark scary side of the unknown and harder to believe that there are Claire's in the world. The reality is you could have been treated to a majick train ride and never been the wiser." —J. Medor, BS.RRT.NPS/QMP

"Once I started reading The Crossings I didn’t want to put it down. The twists and turns kept me guessing and waiting for more all the way to the end." —Thea Whitcomb, Owner at Moonshadows Gifts for the Spirit, Vermont
