The Crossing Over of Mattie Pearl is an
inspirational true story as told by her daughter about a woman’s
spiritual journey to the other side. Mattie Pearl gives vivid details
about what she sees and hears before she crosses over. Her journey
opens the door to those who have always believed that there is
something more. It is a story of love, hope and encouragement for all
of us who will eventually move on beyond this physical life.
The Author and Producer of The Crossing Over of Mattie Pearl, Andrea
Garrison upon reflecting on her mom’s story said, “When the doctor
told us that there was nothing that they could do for mom it was a
very surreal moment. It was unbelievable but at the same time we knew
that we had to do whatever it was that we could do to make things
comfortable for her during her last days on this physical earth.
While it was challenging for us to do home hospice care it was also
moving and one of the best things we could have ever done for mom. In
giving to mom and helping her to transition and to continue her
journey to the other side we received so much love, hope and
encouragement from her. She actually confirmed for me that there is
indeed something more than life as we know it on this physical earth.
I hope this story will help others to not be afraid of the journey
that awaits us all. I wanted to make the story available in as many
formats as possible so that a person could choose the way they would
like to experience it. And so for those who like to read we produced
a book. The listeners can experience it on CD. While we were at it
we thought it would be good to produce a DVD as well. The DVD has two
versions one without subtitles and one with subtitles for those who
are hearing impaired or for those who enjoy reading along. I
personally do the narration on the CD and DVD. There are benefits to
experiencing the story in all formats. Each medium offers a different
component and adds another dimension to the story. The thing that is
so wonderful about everything is that when I started to work on this
project I had no idea as to how I would be able to produce it and
release it globally without having a major deal in hand.
When I learned about Create Space which is an Amazon.com company it
was like a dream come true to find a company that could produce my
project in every format without worrying about inventory and finding a
distribution outlet. Create Space and Amazon had everything all in
one place, the ability to reproduce it and distribute on demand.
Any one in the world interested in purchasing The Crossing Over of
Mattie Pearl can obtain it from Amazon and Create Space. The thing
that is so great is that the Amazon.com/Create Space model is perfect
for the independent, entrepreneurial person who does not have a major
book or movie deal. They have simplified and streamlined a process
that typically can be more complicated and I am grateful for that.
Some how they have mastered the art of creating a self service
environment in the virtual world while being very helpful, thorough
and personable with the member user dashboard where you can ask
questions and receive responses in a timely manner. This is truly the
way to publish books, produce audio and video projects. I suspect
that the trend will continue in this direction because it helps to
eliminate wasted resources because only what is needed/requested is
produced. It is somewhat unusual for a book to be released in so many
formats. Since this was shot in High Definition (HD) we look forward
to releasing it on Blu-ray Disc on demand as well when it becomes
available. Now that my project is completed in all three formats
(Book, CD and DVD) I am so thankful for Amazon’s Create Space because
now I am able to share my mom’s special story around the world without
worrying about the expense of inventory and distribution. My initial
reaction after getting through the process quite honestly was just
wow, how cool is that!!!!”
