Phantom's Crossing

Jade McKenzy had a normal life by anyone’s standards. Nothing about her was unusual or strange until one night when an accident nearly claimed her life. After her recovery, she discovered normality was something of the past. Like a chess game, all the pieces of her once ideal world shifted dramatically as she began a new journey to a small town by the name of Paulding, Michigan. The long stretch of miles between her hometown of Billings, Montana to Paulding was the only hope of starting fresh and leaving the heartache behind. And in the process she hoped to rid herself of her newfound ‘gift’. Instead of finding the tranquility she longed for, she stepped into a town full of dark history, troubled times and Jackson, a reclusive and quiet deputy who appears to watch Jade suspiciously from the moment she arrives in town. His brusque and sometimes cold mannerisms towards her create a storm of emotion deep within, disdain warring with intrigue. But the quiet mysteries of Paulding hold more than the infamous ghost light that draws visitors annually. This peculiar phenomenon that illuminates the dense woods year round holds the key to unlocking a century old curse and possibly the hearts of two stubborn, guarded souls.
