OUaT: Hi Mary and welcome once again to OUaT. I just finished reading Beyond which is the 3rd book in your Crossroads Saga. So far which of the 3 books completed have you enjoyed writing and which was the hardest?

First of all, thank you for having me back again. I love being here…hehe! It’s really difficult to say because each book is different and focuses on different types of angels; however, I would have to say that I enjoyed writing book two, Between the most. More characters are introduced, lot more twist and turns and more action. I had a great time writing about betrayal and flirty Austin. Also, chapter 29 was based on a scary dream I had. I woke up thinking these demons would be so cool to write about so then it wasn’t scary anymore…lol! The hardest one to write was Beyond. How to tie everything together? How do I help Claudia remember? Do I end the story or could I write one more book? There were many questions. Due to spoiler I won’t go further into details…sorry

OUaT: You shared with me on twitter that there will be a 4th book in the Crossroads Saga. Which I was excited to hear that piece of news. Can you tease us with 5 words or less what to expect in the 4th book? 

Yes of course…anything for you, Yara…hehe! You’ll get to read about Michael’s past. I’m really excited about this part.

OUaT: In Beyond you introduced some new Angels and Beings/Demons, how much research went into Beyond? 

To tell you the truth, they are all made up. I wish I could type demons on google and find all kinds of information…lol!

OUaT: If you could choose one of the places in your book you can visit anytime you want, which place would you pick if it really existed? 

This is a difficult question. Can I choose more than one? Just kidding… okay…being serious now. I would have to say Nubilus City, where venators (demon hunters) resides. A castle nestled on the clouds…only because I dreamt about it. Seriously…I dreamt of this place and if I took a wrong step, I would fall straight down.

OUaT: Since Twilight what other books or series have impacted your writing?

Yes. Twilight was my first love for books as an adult. Then I got into Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare and Fallen series by Lauren Kate. Recently, I’ve become a fan of author Joann Buchanan, I Am Wolf.

Crossroads Saga is available on Amazon: Crossroads • Between • Beyond
