Reblog: “Closed Doors, A Trilogy,” by Rich Weatherly – Book Review

Review by J.J. Collins

In “Closed Doors, A Trilogy,” by Rich Weatherly, the reader is treated to three powerfully written and gripping stories interwoven by time and powerful characters.

The Novella – “Toxic Solutions” is an action packed, rip roaring race against time, to locate and isolate the deadly Avian Flu Virus which has fallen into the hands of international organised Crimelords. The plot is totally credible and enthralling throughout. If you are a fan of the Movie “The Departed” or the series “Law & Order” you’ll love Richard Weatherly’s writing. It comprises the best of both, but is so much more; it is pedal-to-the-metal and fast paced action throughout.

MY Q&A with Indie Author Rich Weatherly by Belinda Witzenhausen

Many of my readers know Belinda Witzenhausen. She is a constant source of inspiration to many authors, writers and creative people of all stripes. I encourage you to read and follow her blogs. 

She asked me recently if I’d mind answering some questions about my background and my new book release. Here’s Belinda!

Indie author, Rich Weatherly recently released his début novella ~ Closed Doors, A Trilogy. Rich is an extremely talented writer who has some fascinating stories to tell. His ability to craft interesting characters and intrigue you with compelling plots, while maintaining such a high standard of writing throughout, is brilliant and the mark of a true storyteller. I always enjoy chatting with Rich, as he is always such an inspiring and interesting person. I asked Rich if he would mind doing a quick Q&A about what inspires him, and being the wonderfully cordial gentleman he is, he agreed…

August writes on a variety of issues, many of which relate to health and fitness. This post is slanted more toward how writers can be more productive. There may be a side health benefit because the article discusses how we can chose the best time for writing based on our physiology. I enjoyed the article and found it helpful. My hope is that you do as well!

Vincent van Gogh: Clearing The Confusion

This post is a re-blog I’m presenting with the permission of the author, Lora R Fisher. Some of you know my family lost a daughter due to complications of Epilepsy. This is a story of how a Master Impressionist overcame. I have shared the introduction to the original blog with a link to the entire post. Enjoy!

Vincent’s life has been a gift to us all.

Rather than being ‘insane’, Vincent suffered from Temporal Lobe Epilepsy,  which caused erratic behavior, and which Vincent van Gogh Self-Portraittoday is treatable. He longed for human companionship, but was horribly isolated, feared, and ridiculed because of his condition.
Add to that the overwhelming evidence that he did not commit suicide, but rather was shot by one of two young men who delighted in tormenting him, and you have a perfect storm of tragedy.
The saving grace, if one can call it that, was that he welcomed death as a release from his suffering and his dependence upon his ailing younger brother. His dying wish was that no one be accused or blamed for his death. Imagine knowing that you caused an innocent person’s death and living with that reality for the rest of your life.
It is terribly sad that he suffered so intensely, but glorious that he lived and, in spite of his suffering, produced works that inspire millions of people around the world, with no end in sight.

Review of “Closed Doors; A Trilogy” by Rich Weatherly

Belinda Witzenhausen’s Review of Closed Doors which should be released the week of July 22nd, 2012.

Belinda McGrath Witzenhausen's avatarBelinda Witzenhausen

I was thrilled to get an advanced copy of Rich Weatherly’s soon to be released “Closed Doors, A Trilogy”.

This debut collection brings together stories that will appeal to many, both the thrill seekers and those who enjoy clean, unpretentious prose and impeccable story telling. Each story resonates in a fresh, yet well-honed voice and are connected by generations of the Wells Family. These stories take the reader on a journey of discovery and a glimpse into human nature, which goes beyond location, or time. Written in a descriptive and well-crafted narrative, it is close to impossible to put the book down before finishing each story which, in my opinion, is a journey which is well-worth taking.

“Toxic Situations, A Novella”, is a fast-paced thriller that leads the reader from Atlanta to Australia on the hunt for stolen capsules containing a deadly avian flu virus. We follow the adventures of…
