Amazing Feedback for Access Denied – What Happened Next

“Very harrowing how one woman can affect a life in such a way. One who inflicts the pain that both you and Kelly have suffered. Very well written, as usual. I had to read the whole book in one go!” – Kathleen

“Interesting but so sad at the same time.” – Christina.

Ten years ago, David E. Gates published his first book, Access Denied, to great critical acclaim.

Many, after reading it, wanted to know, and asked, “What happened next?”

Access Denied – What Happened Next is a follow-up detailing what happened since the publishing of that first book. It tells of how David sought to rebuild his life following the traumatic events he went through and the surprise that he never expected that occurred several years afterwards.

Previously excluded from Access Denied, this follow-up also includes the Parliamentary Ombudsman’s report into the appalling CSA actions and incompetence, many of which are still occurring today.

Access Denied is compelling reading. Thought-provoking, honest, extraordinary, revealing. A damning indictment of the Child Support Agency and Family Courts. Many of those that have read it said, “I couldn’t put it down!”

Released on 25th November 2023. Available from here and Amazon.

Access Denied – Wonderful feedback from a reader.

Just received some lovely, utterly wonderful, feedback, from a reader of Access Denied.

“Just wanted to say that I loved your book. I couldn’t put it down, you were right, which hasn’t happened to me for a long time, especially with a book which is written in another language than my mother tongue, which always requires more energy and attention to read for me.”

I asked if it made her cry, and she said, “Yes, several times.”

David had always been a doting father to his daughter, but when his relationship fell apart, he found himself in a bitter battle. Despite his best efforts, he lost access to his daughter and was left heartbroken. To make matters worse, he also had to fight against the Child Support Agency (CSA). Determined to get access to his daughter back, David fought tirelessly in family court and against the CSA, navigating the complex legal system and facing numerous obstacles along the way. This is the story of one man’s struggle to reunite with his daughter and the lengths he went to in order to make it happen.

Access Denied – Available in all formats at all good online bookstores and from my bookstore.

Another FIVE STAR review for Access Denied

From Amazon:

Most incredible audio book I’ve ever listened to. Planned to listen to an hour at a time, ended up listening to it all at once! Couldn’t drag myself away. Heart-breaking story, an emotional roller-coaster! Listening to the failures of the CMS [CSA] was almost unbelievable. To know it’s a true story made me angry and heartbroken for DAVID. 
 
HIGHLY RECOMMEND
