What Readers Are Saying
"I'm almost finished with The Crossing and I can safely say now it'll be among the best things I've read this year." – Ricardo Fayet, Reedsy
"I am really enjoying The Crossing. I am reminded of a Peter Gabriel song that says 'it's only in uncertainty we are naked and alive.' The bike causes both the loss of love and the finding of new love including self love. It's existential and essential." – Robin Feldman, NAGC
"The dialogue between characters especially rings true and some of the main character's inner thoughts really resonate with me. I haven't decided if this is a story about one young man or a commentary on society, but I'm enjoying the ride." – Eric Walther, Photographer and Illustrator
