International Bestselling, Award Winning, Author Mary Ting/M. Clarke resides in Southern California with her husband and two children. She enjoys oil painting and making jewelry. Writing her first novel, Crossroads Saga, happened by chance. It was a way to grieve the death of her beloved grandmother, and inspired by a dream she once had as a young girl. When she started reading new adult novels, she fell in love with the genre. It was the reason she had to write one-Something Great. Why the pen name, M Clarke? She tours with Magic Johnson Foundation to promote literacy and her children's chapter book-No Bullies Allowed.Ways to keep in touch with the author:Newsletter Updates: http://eepurl.com/YMyCnWebsite: www.authormaryting.comFacebook https://www.facebook.com/AuthorMaryTing?Tweeter @marytingGoodreads http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11283685-crossroadsBlog http://www.marytingbooks.blogspot.com/Instagram: http://instagram.com/authormaryting
