CRLODY with Closing The Gate

Jason Bartel--aka CRLODY with Closing The Gate 

International review for Closing The Gate!

From Neeru Anand , India 




In 1997, I was working in a small town in the desert state of Rajasthan, when one day I woke up to screaming headlines about a mass-suicide in US. Thirty-Nine people had been found dead in a house. There was shock and awe that day in the staff-room. For most of us, separated as we were from our families, and waiting for a transfer somewhere back home, there was an element of horror associated with the entire incident. Later, details trickled in: The Dead were part of a cult that believed there was a UFO following in the wake of the Haley-Bopp comet entering the earth's orbit at that time. The suicide was a means to exit their bodies so that their souls could be free to enter the spaceship which would take them to the higher level.

This review is from: Closing The Gate (Hardcover)
Closing The Gate is excellent in reference to Deb Simpson's ability to portray each family member in making you understand the nature of each. You can feel the individual uniqueness as you go thru the story, adding character and visualization of her family members.

Authors cant be too pooped to market....

When the book is finally a book-book and available to the public, most authors tend to believe, "It's build, they should come."



Ahhh, contraire … if anything this is when the author's support/energy/creativity/WORK really must go into high gear.


How are you feeling about the sales of your books?
Have you realized that writing your book is only the beginning of an amazing journey?
