Bio: M. Clarke aka Mary Ting 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.
What you write?
I wrote a YA novel called Crossroads
Saga and a new adult novel called Something Great under pen name M. Clarke
Why you write?
For Crossroads, I wrote it to heal the
loss of my grandmother. For Something Great, it was a request from my friends.
For whom you write?
For Crossroads Saga—book 1,
Crossroads was really for me, but the rest—Between, Beyond, (Eternity and Halo
City coming September 12th are for my fans. They give me the fire
and encouragement I need to make the story better. For Something Great was
written for my friends who like to read romance that is a bit steamier…lol
By whom you inspired?
For Crossroads, I was inspired by my
grandmother and Stepehenie Meyer. She wrote Twilight based on her dream and I
did the same for Crossroads. It was based on a dream I had in high school.

I have a new young adult series coming
out called From Gods and book 2 of Something Great. Here is a teaser for Something Great:
“I
think this is my stop,” he muttered, looking straight at me. “I’m not wanted in
there. What do you think?” He arched his brows, and his tone held a note of
challenge.
Huh? He wants to go in with me? I gasped silently, as I was still lost in his
eyes. “I think the women in there will throw themselves at you.” I couldn’t
believe I’d said those words. I couldn’t take it back. What was I doing,
flirting with him?
He
seemed to like what he heard. His arms reached out, his muscles flexing as he
placed one on each side of me on the wall. With nowhere to go, I was trapped
inside the bubble of his arms. He leaned down toward the left side of my face
and brushed my hair with his cheek. “You smell…delicious,” he whispered.
His hot breath shot tingles to places I hadn’t expected them.
Out
of nervousness and habit, my left index finger flew inside my mouth. Max gave a
crooked, naughty grin and slowly took my hand out of my mouth. “Did you know
that biting one’s finger is an indication one is sexually deprived?” His words
came out slowly, playfully, but hot. “I can fix that for you, if you’d like.”
He did not just say that to me!
I parted my lips for a good comeback, but I couldn’t find one. Feeling my chest
rise and fall quickly, I tried to control the heated desire. Sure, he’d helped
me once, but that didn’t mean we were friends, or flirting buddies, or that I
would allow him to fix my sexual deprivation. Oh God…can guys tell if you haven’t done it in a very long time?
This had to stop or else…oh dear…I wanted to take him with me into the
restroom.
Needing to put a stop to the heat, I placed my hand on his chest…big mistake.
Touching him made the heat worse, and tingles that were already intensifying
burst through every inch of me. I had to push him away.
As if he knew what I meant to do, he pulled back, but his eyes did the talking
instead. There was no need for words; I felt his hard stare on my body, as if
he was undressing me with his gorgeous eyes. His gaze was powerful, as if his
eyes were hands; I felt them all over me, completely unraveling me.
Just when I thought I was going
to faint, his eyes shifted to mine again. “It was really nice to meet you,
Jenna. I’m sure we’ll see each other again, real soon. I better let you
go. Your someone must be waiting for you. By the way….” There was
a pause as he charmed me with his eyes again. “You…took my breath away. If I
were your someone, I wouldn’t let you out of my sight for even a second,
because someone like me will surely try to whisk you away.” He winked and left.
Synopsis
She didn’t know what she was missing…until he found her.
Maxwell Knight was positively trouble, dangerously good-looking,
and seductively charming. He was everything Jeanella didn’t need in her life.
Only Maxwell didn’t see it that way. His pursuit was relentless, making her
even more determined to push him away.
Fresh out of college, life was simple and plain for
Jeanella Mefferd. Every part of her life was smooth sailing; her friends,
her job, and even the guy she’d started dating. Then one night, while at
dinner, she spotted someone who made her feel things she’d never felt
before—dangerous, heart pounding and breathless heat. Thinking she would never
see him again, she brushed it off, but when she started to run into him
unexpectedly, all she could think of was how he made her feel with his sweet
flirtations. Everything about Maxwell Knight screamed trouble, especially when
she found out he was her new boss’s son. Now, heading to a New York fashion
show, would she be able to focus on her career instead of Maxwell, who had been
scheduled to attend with her? As much as she tried to forget their encounters,
his good looks, smooth words and determination to win her over gravitated her
toward him. The next thing she knew, her mind was utterly consumed by him.
Would she be willing to ignore all the dangerous signs and jump into his arms?
Or would she miss out on the chance of finding something great?
