Welcome Author, Mary Ting!

Big bloggie welcome to Ms. Mary Ting!

I have to say...I have not yet read these books. I don't start a series until I have access to them all (so NEVER tell me what's happening in the current season of  Supernatural!)
So, now they are available and I am ready to do a Crossroads marathon!!

And why wouldn't I be excited?

These books have hundreds of five star ratings without Mary lifting a finger. She just writes good books  and lets them sell themselves. (Mary is probably reading this and thinking, Elizabeth is crazy...I market my booty off! So, let's just say...she makes it look easy.)

When I heard Mary had the final book, "Beyond", ready to meet the world, I invited her here. I know these books deal with the after-life and that a personal experience prompted her to write them, so I wanted to know...what exactly is the story behind the Crossroads Saga?

Here's Mary!!!

I started Crossroads from a dream I had in high school. 
It was one dream I never forgot. 
It happened the same day my friend from church passed away. She had the same first and last name as me and we even looked alike…especially from behind, mostly because we were the same height and had the same color and length of hair. 
In my dream, I was walking on a dirt road. I knew it was a dream, and yet it felt so real. There was a light that I could clearly see ahead of me, but there was no sun.
 Suddenly, a lady appeared, but I could only see the back of her. As I struggled to catch up to her, I followed her path…into the tall green grass. 
Once I stepped inside, I saw a vast of white, fluffy clouds and I immediately knew I was someone special…sacred. 
The lady turned, but I could not see her face. I heard her voice, but the light surrounding her was too bright. 
She told me that it was not my turn and that I needed to go back. 
Then she disappeared, as if she was giving me a choice.
 Standing there, I thought about my options. 
I knew that if I had stayed, I would be leaving my life on Earth. 
Since I wasn’t ready to go, I went back. 
I landed with a jerk on my mattress that startled me to awaken.
Then I got the phone call from my friend, Patty. She was the one who informed me that my friend passed away at 2 A.M. 
She was the prom queen and her date was the prom king. A drunk driver hit their car and she flew out the window because she didn’t have a seat belt on. (There were no laws regarding seat belts back then.)
 I didn’t know what to make of my dream then, but I knew for sure it wasn’t just a dream.


Wow.
That's powerful stuff, right?
How about you guys? Any of you have any experiences like that?
