Crossing Into the Mystic (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781946758033)

With her B.A. in journalism and her M.A. in corporate communication, DL Koontz spent years in four glamorous cities hiding her early fiction ideas, first on journalists' notebooks where she detailed hard-news interviews, then on laptops as a consultant and college instructor. She now lives with her husband in rural Georgia on a cattle ranch, where she divides her time between writing and endlessly "going to town" for supplies. Her debut novel, Crossing into the Mystic, has been hailed as "a difficult book to put down," and touches everyone who has ever lost someone they love. She's an author, believer, wife, mom, animal lover, interminate photo-taker, designer, and seeker of beauty. "'Crossing Into the Mystic" is the launch volume of this paranormal mystery trilogy that crosses genres (YA+) told in a bright, new-adult voice....while the central story is resolved nicely enough, there is plenty to entice the reader to look forward to the next two books. The plot-line twists and turns adding suspense, the setting is, well, vividly haunting, and the author adds a dash of wit and humor to the mix while the characters are rich and complex." --Chanticleer Book Reviews "Since (Koontz) hit the ball out of the park on this one, some might say it's going to be hard to follow up this accomplishment. But, just wait, she's more than capable." --Bedford Gazette "The full experience--romance, history, paranormal, drama, intrigue. Raw and haunting, this will be a movie one day. Mark our words." --Times Journal News
