The Gate
Nineteen year-old Gaelle is starting her first year at Forsythia, a private college high in the Rocky Mountains. Suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder didn't make it easy to find friends in high school, and she's hoping for a fresh start. Soon she meets Janet, the quirky answer to her loneliness, and Draig, a mysterious boy who seems fated to repeatedly cross her path. Immediately drawn to Draig, one night Gaelle follows him into the forest and unraveling the weighty secret he protects.
Draig is a Gatekeeper, one in a long line of men and women dedicated to guarding a locked portal between the 4th and 5th dimensions. A breach is starting to form in the Gate, and to avoid certain catastrophe Gaelle and Draig must find a way to seal it again. But as Gaelle is swept up with helping Draig, she also comes closer to the truth of her own past.

About the author
Renee Ramsey
1 book16 followersRenee spent her childhood dreaming of being many things when she grew up, including, but not in any particular order:
An archaeologist (she likes history, and at the time, liked to dig);
A marine biologist (she was an avid dolphin lover until age 15);
A botanist (thanks to the 1992 Sean Connery movie Medicine Man);
A rock star (singing into a hairbrush is a requisite for any childhood, isn’t it?);
A writer.
In the end however, only the last of these dreams survived the trials of adulthood to remain a steadfast part of her adult aspirations. After much hemming and hawing, in 2013 she took the plunge and published The Gate, the first in a young adult trilogy.
She still loves history (the photo to the left was taken on a trip to the remarkable Warwick Castle in England). She also loves a good cup of tea, autumn, sushi, and of course a good book in any literary style or genre.
She lives near the Rocky Mountains, and is continually amazed at the gorgeous changes that mountain peaks undergo based on the time of day, the lighting, and the weather. She gets to share this vista with her husband and their dog, Talti, who may be the cutest canine on Earth.
