A family saga moving from 1930’s Wyoming, through 1950’s Spain and Kenya to end of the century Texas and Tanzania, Crossing Stars tells the story of three generations of the Creightons. Phillip Creighton faces his diagnosis of cancer alone, except for his long-time friend, Pedro. As he looks back on his life—his humble beginning in Wyoming, the Cambridge education his father struggled so hard to give him, his painful love affairs—he realizes the life he has missed with his daughter and son. Phillip is consumed with guilt for having abandoned his children and now he faces a choice—one which will affect their lives as well as his own. As their lives come together, will Phillip be given the second chance to heal his wounded heart and become the father he had wanted to be?

When Phillip Creighton faces his diagnosis of cancer alone, he thinks back on his humble beginnings and painful love affairs. Moving from 1930's Wyoming, through 1950's Spain and Kenya, to modern Texas and Tanzania, Crossing Stars tells the story of three generations and one man's chance to become the father he had wanted to be.

From the author of Crown of Coral and Pearl comes an immersive new fantasy about a witch who must learn to harness her power--or risk losing her loved ones forever. Liora has spent her life in hiding, knowing discovery could mean falling prey to the king's warlock, Darius, who uses mages' magic to grow his own power. But when her worst nightmare comes to pass, Darius doesn't take her. Instead, he demands that her younger sister return to the capital with him. To make matters worse, Evran, Liora's childhood friend and the only one who knows her secret, goes missing following Darius's visit, leaving her without anyone to turn to. To find Evran and to save her sister, Liora must embrace the power she has always feared. But the greatest danger she'll face is yet to come, for Darius has plans in motion that will cause the world to fall into chaos--and Liora and Evran may be the only ones who can stop him.
