BOOK AWARDS: “SEVENTH DIMENSION – THE CITY: A Young Adult Fantasy” Wins the 2017 Book Excellence Award for Cover Design

Published by Lorilyn Roberts on October 27, 2017

To share the background of the cover for The City, Lisa Vento, my cover designer, sent me the book cover as a sample two or three years ago, before I knew I was going to write the book. I loved the cover so much I wrote the story to fit the cover. Of course, I think it was divinely-inspired. God knew the cover before I did and sent it to me through Lisa.

BOOK AWARDS: “SEVENTH DIMENSION – THE CITY: A Young Adult Fantasy,” Wins Three More Awards

Published by Lorilyn Roberts on September 19, 2017

Seventh Dimension – The City, A Young Adult Fantasy, has been the recipient of three more awards.

I am excited to announce Seventh Dimension – The City is a finalist in the 2017 International Book Awards in the visionary category, won silver in Dan Poynter Global eBook Awards for religion/faith fiction, and won bronze in the Florida Authors & Publishers Association Awards for religion.

I will be releasing the next book in the Seventh Dimension Series soon, Seventh Dimension – The Prescience, and will be discounting Seventh Dimension – The City to $2.99 on Kindle for a limited time.

If you are a homeschooling mom of teens, I hope you will download the first book in the series for free as an ebook Seventh Dimension – The Door.

I have combined contemporary issues with historical fact and woven in Christian fantasy to create a tale of truth based on Scripture. There is no sex, only mild violence, and no offensive language. But there is suspense and mystery. The Seventh Dimension Series so far as won twenty-five awards.

BOOK AWARDS THE SEVENTH DIMENSION SERIES (as of 2016)

Published by Lorilyn Roberts on September 18, 2016

Winning awards has been a great validation of my passion, tenacity, and hard work in writing books, but I don’t take it for granted that every book will win anything. Like an athlete, I’m constantly striving to make each book better, spending months researching and thinking about the plot before I ever write the first word.

The next book in the Seventh Dimension Series will be book five. In the meantime, as I research and read books dealing with Islam – yes, a hint about book five – I felt led to share all the awards the series has won so far. Many friends and readers are unaware of how many I’ve accumulated.

Next month, I’m going to Las Vegas to receive an award for The City from Literary Classics. I’ve never been to any ceremonies for the awards I’ve won, so I’m looking forward to being a “celebrity” of sorts for an evening. Maybe I’ll have a photo snapped that I will post on my blog. I guess that means I need to buy some new clothes and get my hair done so, as my kids say, I’ll look presentable. Maybe that’s just what I needed, a good excuse to indulge myself and pull myself away from the computer.

BOOK AWARDS: SEVENTH DIMENSION – THE KING: A Young Adult Fantasy: “The Series Appeals to Old and Young Alike”

Published by Lorilyn Roberts on July 31, 2016

Having enjoyed the first novel in this series I was enthusiastic to read this book, the second novel in the series. I adore young adult novels (despite being far older than a young adult!) and this novel did not disappoint. The novel is a wonderful, and intriguing, mix of historical, spiritual, and supernatural, all merged into an imaginative story.

The story moves at a fast and engaging pace, and the plot is full of adventure, fantasy, history, and interesting settings and characters. For those who have not read the first in the series, this novel can be read as a standalone, as the reader will have no trouble understanding what is going on (some parts at the beginning may be a little confusing, but if you persevere the story comes together).

If you love fantasy novels and enjoy elements of time travel, history, and spirituality mixed into a coming-of-age, creative plot then I am sure you will also enjoy this novel.~Amazon Reviewer
