5 ways to get your book into bookstores

1. Getting Your Book into Barnes & Noble

I naively assumed that once my children's book was published, my distributor would submit it to the Barnes & Noble system. Wrong. I kept checking B&N online. Not finding it listed, I discussed the necessary steps to make it happen. Here's what I learned and what I want to share from the Barnes and Noble website at BarnesandNoble.com

Heaven's Gate is just one of the many of the so-called UFO religions dotting the globe today, with some of them having branches in Nigeria.Some others are Unarius Academy of Science, Universe People, Scientology,...



 ...the International Raelian Movement has been described as the largest UFO religion in the world, who, interestingly, believe that scientifically advanced extra-terrestrials, known as the "Elohim" created life on earth through genetic engineering, and that a combination of human cloning and "mind transfer" can ultimately provide eternal life.

Anniversary of Heaven's Gate Cult Mass Suicide approaches

15 years ago, on March 26, 1997, the bodies of 39 cult members were found in a rented mansion in Rancho Santa Fe, CA--victims of the largest mass sucide to ever occur on US soil.



Much has been written abut  this cult and its members, about the suicide, and its connection to the Hale Bopp comet and a UFO thought to be traveling in the shadows of the comet. 



Many people  beleive this was the end of the story, but ti was not...



Other former members followed the 39 in taking thier won lives or killing thier bodies to "exit their vehicles" and allow thier souls to connect with the UFO and the Next Level (Heaven).



The UNTOLD story of one former member is now told in the new book CLOSING THE GATE --now availabe. 



More to come about this cult in the next few days....
