Evelyn Amdur, a hospice social worker, began to write these stories midway through her career, collaborating with her daughter, Shelley. Many traditional cultures have a custom of "death songs", which rest on the idea that at one's last moment, one somehow sums up the essence of one's life in a phrase or a song. Woven into these stories are instructions on how to die well, not only in what spirit we face death itself, but also through instructions on what is necessary to prepare our families, to ready our estates, and to manage all the players who may be involved in our deaths.

Can this family survive the truth? Closure should have come swiftly with the funeral and nailing of the casket, but instead of finding peace, the old man’s death reopened old wounds left to fester for decades. Sahar Abdulaziz’s haunting women’s contemporary fiction novel, As One Door Closes, is a stark and dramatic testament to the devastation that comes with hiding sexual abuse, and protecting the "secret" rather than the victim. Will five very different women finally heal the damage, bring closure, and bury the secrets they have been forced to carry and protect?

This rendition of my encounters is a simple, pared-down telling of every paranormal encounter I have ever had - all 40+ years' worth. Since I'm extremely private, putting myself out there is not easy for me. As far as proper grammar goes, please bear with me.

N65 was designed to give the US and its allies the upper hand by decimating its enemies' young and intelligent citizens, leaving only those with fewer neurons—the elderly, the limited, the psychotic—behind.
