Walking the Balloon, Skive, Elevator Food and Nearest Available Chick Syndrome are the four novels that make up the Crossroads series.

These novels are about Singapore teenagers facing difficult situations as they struggle to make sense of the confusing mess known as their daily lives. Many of you may find the problems to be very familiar; you might even have friends caught up in similar situations. Perhaps you yourself can identify with the trials in the stories. It's true, every teen at some point in time may face problems like peer pressure, shyness, parental divorce, first love, teen gangs, eating disorders, crushes, schoolwork, nagging parents, low self-esteem, best friends growing apart and boy-girl relationships.

The characters in the novels struggle through these difficulties too. Some of them overcome their difficulties, some of them are overwhelmed. Whichever the case, the outcomes are very real and we realise how easily we can also be in the same struggles.

Curious to get more details? You'll be able to find general information on each novel as well as synopses and excerpts. In addition, there are note sections where I give a bit of detail into my thoughts and feelings and the writing process of each of the novels. I discuss the plot and themes and talk about the characters--what they are like, their fears and hopes and dreams. And I reveal which bits of the book are from my own life.

Close to a dozen secondary schools have adopted one or more of the Crossroads novels as Literature texts. Schools like Juying Secondary, Pei Dao Seconday, Bartley Seconday, Broadrick Secondary, and Yishun Secondary to name a few.

If you'd like to buy copies of the novels direct from me, you can fill in the contact form and I'll make arrangements for you to receive it by post. I'll be happy to autograph the books if you want.
