BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Dec. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Randy Pitt, a retired electrical engineer and dedicated volunteer advocate, announces the release of his first novel, Crossover, the opening book in a thrilling contemporary adventure trilogy blending mystery, horror, and fantasy.
Crossover follows Charley Moore, a paramedic in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, whose life is upended by the mysterious disappearance of his wife. As Charley navigates grief, isolation, and unexplained headaches, he becomes entangled in a series of supernatural events during a humanitarian mission in Sri Lanka. The novel explores his battles against near-immortal adversaries, with unforgettable allies, and journeys that span both real and otherworldly realms.
The 600-page debut delivers a multi-layered narrative that intertwines real-world events, including aspects of the Sri Lankan Civil War, with imaginative fantasy and suspense. Readers gain perspectives not only from Charley and his companions but also from antagonists such as the assassin Taisia and the Governor of Sri Lanka's East Province, creating a rich, immersive story world.
