Young-Adult Christian Fantasy Novel Takes Top Honors in Multiple Book Awards for 2013

Seventh Dimension - The Door, A Young Adult Christian Fantasy, has been honored as a "Finalist" in the "Fiction: Visionary" category of the 2013 International Book Awards. Seventh Dimension - The Door was also a finalist in the 2013 Grace Awards and 2013 Selah Awards for Christian books.

Seventh Dimension - The Door Offers Hope, Inspiration for Bullied and Troubled Teens


GAINESVILLE, Fla., May 23, 2013 - For every child who struggles with doubt, for every kid who has been bullied, for every teen who comes from a broken home, and for every young adult who longs to be understood - there is hope. 
 
Best-selling author Lorilyn Roberts shares once again the power of redemption in this Christian coming-of-age novel. Written in first-person, Seventh Dimension - The Door reads as a first-hand account by a young girl, Shale Snyder, who is treated unfairly by her family, school, and classmates. Fear distorts her sense of self-worth and she is enveloped with guilt because of a secret from her past.

While on a sojourn similar to Christian in Pilgrim's Progress, Shale discovers talking animals and a handsome young man with whom she falls in love. Her journey is one of self-discovery as she battles personal demons, family conflict, wicked underlings, and comes face-to-face with a personal decision she must make - bound up in the king she meets in first-century Israel.

"I spent two years developing the plot," says Roberts, "as part of my Master of Arts in Creative Writing. I love the classics, particularly books by Charles Dickens, Fydor Dostoevsky, Emily Bronte, C.S. Lewis, and J.R.R. Tolkien. I hoped to provide an entertaining story that would evoke deep spiritual longing." Roberts adds, "I was a troubled child from a broken home on the road to juvenile delinquency - until I met the king."

From May 23 through May 31, Roberts is offering the Kindle version of Seventh Dimension - The Door for 99 cents on Amazon at:   http://amzn.to/1adtywl
