Christina Forte's Blog

Hi everyone. To all my friends, please share this with all your friends so that I can reach as many readers as possible.
I recently completed a "Giveaway" on the website, Goodreads.
I'm so happy to report that 1518 people entered my "Giveaway" and the four winners have received their copy of "The Eleventh Dimension". I even had a winner from our neighbors to the north in British Columbia, and I'm hoping to hear from our Canadian friends. Thank you to everyone who participated.
If you would like to read more about my book, you can go to Goodreads, a perfect website for avid readers, or visit my website at www.christina-forte.com.
My book is available in the original hard cover edition but also as an ebook for all my ereaders out there. If you like you can leave a comment or maybe tell me of an experience you might have had that was similar to those in the book. You can reach me through my website, through my author page on Facebook or through Goodreads. I'd love to hear from you. Thanks again to everyone and happy reading.

Christina Forte I am currently working on "The Eleventh Dimension-Windows Pale". This is the sequel to my debut novel, "The Eleventh Dimension". There are several unanswered questions at the end of my first novel and those issues are explored. While the story is coming along, slowly but surely, I was at a loss as to a title. After all, "The Eleventh Dimension" is a mouthful; it is also a reference to "string theory". (The 11th dimension is a characteristic of space-time that has been proposed as a possible answer to questions arising in superstring theory. Yikes!! So, unless you are a physicist, let's not "go" there.) I didn't want to travel along that very technical road and avoid the very human side of my story.
But then, I had a dream. The unexpected impetus of creativity. It all made sense in the dream, and, I believe, makes sense as my new title. More updates later and happy reading.

I want to take this time to thank everyone who entered my "Giveaway" for "The Eleventh Dimension". What an excellent way to reach more people and make them aware of my work! There are so many books out there that it can be difficult to "stand out in a crowd"; especially when you are the new kid on the block.
1070 people entered my contest and the 4 winners received their books.
I was so glad to have one winner from "across the pond", and another winner was so sweet to send me a "Thank you" note. I was greatly touched.
Congratulations to all of you. As I've said before, I am working on the sequel to "The Eleventh Dimension" and any feedback you have to offer (a review, a star rating or just a comment) is greatly appreciated.
Thanks again to everyone!
Sincerely, Christina Forte

My name is Beth. I'm 17 years old. I was born in a little house in a small town in South Jersey. My mom and dad met in a supermarket. Romantic, huh? But, it seems to me, that that meeting set into motion a series of events that led to an unbelievable revelation. Because, even though I'd like to say that we are ordinary people, truth is I'M not! I have what might be called a power. An ability. My consciousness can "travel". Free of my body. Travel to someone else so that I can see what they see and hear what they hear. OR, "travel" to what I call "My Special Place" or what my best friend, Joy, calls "The Eleventh Dimension".
My mom, Amy, doesn't have this power. She was so alone until she met my dad. My dad, Joseph, doesn't have it. He was missing for two weeks during his time in the army. During the first "Gulf War". It left him with emotional scars, as in my mom and dad are very overprotective.
My power, according to mom and dad, must remain a secret-from everyone. My mom thinks that it is this "power" that led to our kidnapping, thirteen years ago, when I was only four.
So, here is my problem- Should I live in fear for the rest of my life that some, high-haired maniac is going to try and come back for me? Or should I enjoy my life as it is? "Travel" when I want to; "travel" to "The Eleventh Dimension" when I want to? And I want to-because there is someone special there.
Am I safe?
I guess time will tell.
Beth

"Every good has a bad; Every bad has a good. We have to be prepared. (Mother Celeste)
But, it's hard to see the bad when you are preoccupied with falling in love.
It's hard to see, but it's there. Lurking. Is it right around that corner? Behind that shelf? In back of that tree? Is it as loud and explosive as a gunshot? Or as soft as a bubble bursting in a bubble bath?
The face of evil-Is it handsome and smiling? Or does it have dark, red-rimmed eyes-staring and unrelenting?
Does evil come up and grab you or drift creepily into your dreams? Amy Olson met the love of her life. But, was everything as perfect as it seemed?
Beth Rossini was only four years old when evil emerged. Will it ever leave her alone?
Taken by force, held against her will. Guarding her secrets. Who can she trust?
