Interview With Deborah Leitch – Author of Heaven’s Gate

by


I can personally recommend Heaven’s Gate to anyone looking for a great story about what happens when our energy leaves our bodies at the moment of death.  I personally know this author and she has the background and expertise to make her story totally believable.  This was a great interview.  You will find the link to Deborah’s book at the end.

Quickly, give us the title and genre of your book and a short tagline:
The title of my novel is Heaven’s Gate.
Heaven’s Gate is a fiction novel about a young man who finds the location of heaven’s gate by tracking energy as it leaves the body at the moment of death only to discover that someone is collecting the energy and preventing it from getting to its intended destination. His discovery leads him on an adventure of action, mystery and enlightenment as he uncovers the true purpose of life.

To tell of things inside
Of distant lands, there people live
Choices they must decide

Dreams they have, happiness want
Morals learned anew

Which Cliff Are You Jumping Off Today?Remember the Disney song, “Following the Leader” from the Peter Pan classic movie? Or the story of the Head-Smashed-In-Buffalo-Jump in Canada? Or the phrase, ” when I say jump you say how high?” Monkey see, monkey do is not a bad thing, is it?

If you want to follow the crowd, disappear into the crowd, or please everybody all the time then this post is not for you. The Sunday comics await or the gangs going out for burgers and ice cream…off you go!

Still here? Read on if you want to stand on your own two feet (you are allowed to sit down and read this).

Why Do I Want To Write? – Is It Money Or…

by

Why Do I Want To WriteThis evening I was listening to a Podcast by Simon Sinek from startwithwhy.com about starting with “your why”. And, of course, as any writer should do…I asked myself why do I want to write? Now, to be frank, I was listening to this while on the treadmill so it’s a little difficult to have pen and paper in hand to jot down the explosion of ideas that came spilling forth.

Whoa! Let’s slow down. Focus only on the basic question that Simon asks: Do you know your why? What is the purpose or what inspires you to do what you do? And, I think most importantly, what is the belief that drives what you to do or want to do.

With this focus in mind, here’s my take on why I want to write; and please note that this is not outlined or scripted, it’s simply me talking out loud.

Sunset’s Romance & Treachery

by

Sunset's Romance & Treachery Standing at the edge of the pond we watched in silence as the sun faded on the horizon. The water shimmered with the last lights, first a golden orange and then turning to purple ripples that caressed our toes. Our hands found each other’s as the sun’s last edge slipped behind our world.

The clouds now took over and turned the sky into orange, red, and pink cotton that floated peacefully over a world going to sleep. Without a breeze to disturb them they froze in solemn tribute to the descending orb and let themselves change moment by moment, treasuring the warm rays for as long as they were offered.

The day was over and could not be reclaimed. With a squeeze of our fingers we agreed that our journey to this moment was the right choice in a world gone mad. The sun and her sister clouds confirmed our desire to seek them out.

Alone At The Window

by

I see people,
Many of them I know.

How do they see me,
Sitting
Over here by the window,
As usual
By myself.

There is much noise,
From these people I know.
But none
From me,
Unless you can hear a thought cry.

It’s time
To escape
And get away from those I know,
Because I don’t
And they don’t.
I leave.
