Accidental contact with a mysterious crystal sphere changes the nature of two humans and a dog, forcing them on a terrifying quest to save the world. Set in Melbourne, Australia, Maggie and her crew are forced to battle the forces of evil at every turn. Love, lust and romance blossom in unlikely places. Maggie is a psychic, computer programmer and corporate couch potato. For her, things don’t get much more strenuous than walking the dog. Unfortunately, walking the dog is where it all begins, and now the fate of the world rests in her hands. Maggie leads her partner Jason, an eclectic entourage of humans, and a telepathic beagle into battle against the Dark Force and a mutant creature intent on destroying humanity. Can they survive the relentless onslaught determined to annihilate them? The strange crystals hold the key to survival. The clock is ticking. Will they be able to find the crystals and keep them safe? Maggie, a keyboard warrior and intuitive, feels ill equipped for the task at hand. Sex and music keep her sane. Can she withstand the constant assault without slipping into madness? For all our sakes let’s hope she can. That they all can. Our survival as a species depends on it.
INGRID FRY was born and raised in Berkhamstead in the UK, but spent much of her childhood commuting with her family between England and Austria. Emigrating with her parents to Melbourne many years ago, she has called Australia home ever since. A business development consultant, writer and minder of a husband and a beagle with super powers, she lives in a leafy suburb on the outskirts of Melbourne. Lakes Entrance is her second home, and it was from there, much of the Crystal Sphere series was developed. In her spare time, Ingrid enjoys pistol shooting at the local gun club, dancing her socks off at The Caravan Music Club, and is a passionate karate nerd, well on her way to a black belt in karate. Ingrid models the belief that it is never too late to achieve your dreams, and age is definitely just a number.
