The Living Crossroads

A mysterious Key. A living inn between worlds. A mother and son pulled into a life they never imagined. Enter The Living Crossroads, beginning with Douglas Lima's The Key at Closing Time.

A Tavern Between Worlds

Tavern1

The Tavern of Realms was never meant to be part of Alice and Leo's lives. Hidden between worlds, its doors open onto countless realms, and its halls have a habit of changing when no one is looking.

What begins as a refuge soon becomes something stranger: a home, a responsibility, and the heart of a much larger story waiting beyond every door.

The Key at Closing Time

Alice was an overworked mother trying to make it through another closing shift. Then a stranger placed a mysterious Key in her hand.

Now she and her son Leo are stranded at the Tavern of Realms, a living inn hidden between worlds, where every door can lead to another realm and the Key has chosen Alice for reasons no one fully understands.

But something is tearing holes between realities, and Alice may be the only person standing between the Tavern and what is coming through.

The Voice Behind the Veil

I'm the author of The Living Crossroads, a fantasy series shaped by my love of expansive worlds, strange places, and the human relationships that make those worlds matter.

My stories mix wonder, adventure, humor, magic, and technology, but their center is more personal: people trying to protect the ones they love and build a home in unexpected places.
