Incident at Cross Point is a crossover Fantasy/Romance novel with a real-world, relatable story to tell. I had researched Irish Fae mythology online, as well as Wabanaki mythology, lore, and ceremonial procedures. Here is what some of my Beta readers have said about this story:

I LOVED the blending of Gaelic and native myths. I felt the relationships were real and believable. I am usually not a huge fan of the romance genre because they can seem very fake, and this was not. All in all it’s a really great cross-genre fantasy romance and I’d love to read more like it. As soon as you have print copies I’d love to buy a signed one.

I need a signed copy of Incident at Cross Point. I love it. The story is fabulous. The fae characters are fantastical but you somehow bring them down to earth and tie them into their own indigenous roots and to the traditions of indigenous Europeans and Native Americans. Very challenging, but you are making it happen. I'm quite impressed with your work.

I so love the way you spin a tale!

Wasn't sure about the genre, but once I started I couldn't put it down. An amazing melding of fantasy and romance. J has another winner here.

Sárán, Elder Prince of the Fae:

Wounded in battle with Daighre, an Elven sorcerer mounted on a dragon-like beast, Sárán is ripped from the world of Tir na nÓg. He wakes in a world where battles are fought with machines and iron, that deadly substance, is everywhere. His survival depends on remaining undiscovered in the Maine woods by the world at large until he can find a way home.

Mariel, a Native American of Penobscot and Passamaquoddy descent:

She was a Marine who left the reservation and her tribal lore and traditions to serve in Iraq. Her tour was ended by a car bomb that nearly killed her and left her with a severe case of PTSD. She has retreated with her service dog, Jughead, to the cabin in the Maine wilderness, left to her by her grandfather, to escape memories and all that triggers her debilitating symptoms.

“Wild Bill” Carson:

Mariel’s neighbor is an eccentric alien hunter who occupies the only other camp on Douglas Pond and believes he’s on the trail of a genuine out-of-space alien.

Sárán’s inexplicable arrival at Cross Point, a location the Abenaki tribes believe is a sacred spiritual crossing point, launches Mariel’s existence into a tailspin. She must cope with an alien being who has abilities that seem magical and invasive. To her surprise, she learns he speaks Gaelic through experimenting with a translation program on her electronics. Through that technology, Sárán quickly learns to speak English. Together they try to determine how Sárán arrived at Cross Point and how he may return to his home. Bill’s nosiness and obsession with Mariel’s unexpected guest complicate their efforts to keep his presence from being discovered.

Sárán believes his only hope of returning home lies in a Native American ceremony to summon Gluskabe, a Penobscot and Passamaquoddy legend who travels between Earth and the eternal realms. Mariel has doubts, having pretty much abandoned her tribal beliefs, but she calls upon an old friend, Harlan Greenlaw, who is a Penobscot professor of anthropology as well as a medicine man, for his assistance. It is a race between success with the ceremony and Bill exposing Sárán’s presence to the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations at the Pentagon and to the rest of the world.
