Accidental contact with a mysterious crystal sphere changes the nature of a group of humans and a dog, forcing them on a terrifying quest to save the world. Set in Melbourne, Australia, fate conspires to bring new Musketeers into the fold, and the action ramps up to increased heights of terror as Maggie is forced to deal with horrors both in the real world and the psychic realms. Maggie feels ill equipped for the battle she has to fight. Sex and music keep her sane, and amongst all the action, there is no shortage of romantic opportunities. Will she betray her partner? Can Maggie and her motley crew—comprised of a Plumber, Booze Hound, Spiritual Warrior, Catholic Priest, Nurse, Detective Inspector, Maestro and a Beagle-cross—save the world? The strange crystals hold the key to victory and survival, but Maggie isn’t the only one who wants them. Who is the mysterious Maestro? The truth shocks everyone. Where does Maggie’s heart really lie? What’s behind the mystery of her father’s disappearance? Time is running out for humankind, and it’s certainly running out for Maggie. Evil is hot on her heels.
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.
