I interviewed Kathy J. Forti about her life and career, what inspired her to start writing, and the story of her latest release, STACKS Awakening Truth.

Tell me a bit about who you are.

I am an intensely curious person who has never followed a straight career path trajectory. I started off as a researcher and associate producer for CBS-TV News in NYC back in the late 70’s.  I was researching a story on childhood cancer at the new NYC Ronald McDonald House where families stayed who had children being treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital.  When I stepped into the House, I had the strangest feeling that I belonged there. Consequently, I abandoned a better-paying TV job and took the position of helping run the NYC Ronald McDonald House.  That’s where I wrote my first book on death and dying for children. 

I soon found myself invited to do in-service trainings for therapists working with this children’s issue.  These professionals assumed I was also a health care professional, which I wasn’t. At the time I only had a B.A. in Broadcast Journalism from NYU and here I was suddenly helping therapists.  So, the next logical step was to go back to school to become a real therapist, which I did, leading to my receiving a Ph.D.

I was a clinical psychologist for 30+ years, which is something I thought I would always be.  But life threw me another curveball in 2003 when my heart stopped and I had a near death experience. I found myself going through a tunnel towards a bright light, but for some reason I was stopped and sent back. I returned to my physical body a very different person—more like a physics geek. This led to my inventing holistic healing software known worldwide as Trinfinity8

Now I’m on my latest career writing sci-fi novels about discovering portals into truth. Life is an incredible journey. You never know where you will end up.

When did you first want to write a book?

I wrote my first published children’s book in the early 80’s called The Door to the Secret City. It was metaphysical in nature and one of a kind.  No one had ever addressed the subject of death and dying for children.  But my natural inclination to write goes back to early childhood.  I wrote essays that won awards. I even wrote a mystery play to act out with my friends.  Then in High school I was writing mini romance stories. 

When did you take a step to start writing?

I never thought about becoming a published author. It was just something fun which I liked to do. I got more serious in 2014 when I wrote Fractals of God: A Psychologist’s Near-Death Experience and Journeys Into the Mystical, about my own NDE and the amazing technology that was all in my head upon returning to my physical body. That experience increased my psychic abilities and most everything I wrote after that seemly divinely inspired.

How long did it take you to complete your first book from the first idea to release?

STACKS Library Of Truth by Kathy J. Forti on The Table Read Magazine
STACKS Library Of Truth

The STACKS Library of Truth book series story came to me in a dream I had one night. I got up and started writing it down.  When I got serious about actually making it into a book series several years later, book one took about six months from first draft to finished product and release. 

How long did it take you to complete your latest book from the first idea to release?

The second book in the series: STACKS Awakening Truth was the same process.

Focusing on your latest release. What made you want to write STACKS Awakening Truth?

I had a therapy client who once told me about their own near-death experience where they went to a place where they could read the truth on everything.  “Kind of like a Library of truth?” I asked.  And from that moment on the seed was planted in my subconscious. It was an intriguing concept and akin to what is referred to in ancient texts as the Akashic Records.

What were your biggest challenges with writing STACKS Awakening Truth?

Time was the biggest challenge at first and then the fear that I might not do the story justice.  When COVID came along I had more alone time, so I used it to write what I thought was a one book story called STACKS Library of Truth.  In the beginning of March 2020 I was prompted by a strong premonition that I needed to get myself to the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. to do my research to get the story setting as factual as possible. 

At the time I remember wondering what the big rush was, but I followed my intuition and flew to D.C. where I spent a full week in the Library going behind the scenes and getting help from many of the librarians.  One week later the Library was shut down indefinitely due to COVID.  Had I not followed that instinct, the book would not have the true realism it has.

Who or what inspired you when creating your Protagonist?

As a psychologist I wanted believable characters, with their own real foibles to overcome.  The main character of Zach has Acquired Savant Syndrome with Synesthesia as a result of a childhood head injury. As a result he is both blessed and cursed with some very unusual abilities—one being seeing numbers in everything.  When you’re a therapist you see some unusual conditions. Many of my clients had Dissociative Identity Disorder, formerly called Multiple Personality Disorder.  You lean a lot about psychopathology as a therapist and it comes in handy when writing novels.  I wanted my character, Zach, to reflect how he deals with life through a different lens.

Who or what inspired you when creating your Antagonist?

Washington politics and those who sell their soul for power make for good boogey men. I knew a lot about the political power scene from hearing client horror stories over the years and from friends who worked on the Hill.  I wanted a story about searching for and finding truth amidst a sea of lies.  Call it true swamp material.

What is the inciting incident of STACKS Awakening Truth?

STACKS Awakening Truth by Kathy J. Forti on The Table Read Magazine
STACKS Awakening Truth

Using his unique abilities, the main character of Zach discovers a portal into an interdimensional Library of Truth hidden right inside the Library of Congress (LOC). I remember walking around the LOC and marveling at all the Minerva statues and wondering if they could mean something hidden.  It became a part of the story. I even wrote part of the first chapter right inside the Main Reading Room. If these walls could only talk, I thought.  I listened and I wrote.

What is the main conflict of STACKS Awakening Truth?

The main conflict in STACKS is freeing the truth which has been held hostage by the power elite to enslave mankind.

Did you plot STACKS Awakening Truth in advance, or fly by the seat of your pants and write freely?

I knew where the story was supposed to end, and some of the plot points along the way, but most of it just flowed onto the page as I wrote.  It felt like I had otherworldly muses helping.  There were some things I did not know and had to look up and was more surprised to learn my “imagination” was right on. A few events in the book became prophetic of what is occurring now in our world.

Did you get support with editing, and how much editing did STACKS Awakening Truth need?

I go through my books about 10 times before I feel good about handing it over to an editor to find what I missed.  For both STACKS books, it required little editing by an outside source—so they told me.

The #1 Writing Tool

What is the first piece of writing advice you would give to anyone inspired to write a story?

Write a few hours every day. The more you write the easier it becomes.  I remember reading how Stephen King wrote five pages a day, so I gave myself the goal of 3-5 pages.  Some days I surpassed that.  It’s also good to remember that whatever you do get down on paper is only a first draft.  After my first draft I go back and puff it up with more detail and dialogue until it flows off my tongue as I read it back.

Can you give me a hint about any further books you’re planning to write?

I’m writing Book 3 in the series now and am about halfway through the first draft.  Each book gets more involved and complex.  There are some days where the plot takes me in a direction I hadn’t foreseen.  And yet it always is surprisingly better.

And, finally, are your proud of your accomplishment? Was it worth the effort?

Absolutely.  So many of my fans said that they couldn’t wait to read Book 2, STACKS Awakening Truth. They didn’t want the story to end. They began relating to the characters as if they knew them.  That would make any writer feel good. One woman told me she cancelled going to a dinner party so she could finish reading my book.  You have to laugh at that one.

138 thought on “Author Interview – Kathy J. Forti – STACKS Awakening Truth”
  1. Interpretation of the neurotransmitter results is complicated by
    the reality that different research examined
    different brain areas, employed completely different strategies, and AAS publicity times.
    When abused like this, testosterone and other androgens can have damaging effects on the physique.

    Other observed unwanted facet effects include acne vulgaris, breast growth, mental well being disorders, lowered sperm depend, cardiovascular disease,
    and liver most cancers. However, when testosterone is used throughout the context of an accredited therapeutic
    dose, as in testosterone alternative remedy, it carries a much lower risk of side effects.
    It has also been observed that the androgen-AR advanced upregulates AR-mediated transcription through c-SRC kinase interaction-driven phosphorylation (10).
    Separate from the AR, androgens could bind to steroid-hormone binding globulin (SHBG), activating the SHBG receptor and rising protein kinase A
    (PKA) exercise (10).
    It is far more androgenic than Testosterone, and sufficient amounts of it in androgen dependent
    tissues is necessary during puberty to ensure full maturation is achieved.
    There can be hypothesis round whether or not or not certain Boldenone
    metabolites act as aromatase inhibitors and attenuate the
    estrogenic exercise of the mother or father hormone.
    Boldenone’s degree of estrogenicity is less clear
    as there isn’t a strong information out there that provides details on its interaction with aromatase in people.
    At the base of the article each reference might be linked to a peer-reviewed
    study or paper.
    As An Alternative, the evidence signifies that the influence
    of AAS during puberty is modulated partially by the environmental context during which the social interaction happens.
    The hormonal standing of the conspecific rat performs a vital function in figuring
    out whether or not aggression will be exhibited. It has been demonstrated that adolescent AAS-treated males can discriminate the hormonal states of their opponents, as evidenced by elevated aggression towards gonadally intact males, but not castrated male rats (Farrell and McGinnis,
    2003). Several studies have been designed to research a selection of variables which may influence aggressive responses
    in adolescent males uncovered to AAS. The information derived from these
    studies have been instrumental in demonstrating that a variety of experiential components affect the show of aggression in AAS-treated males.

    Factors which were recognized are the hormonal standing, the environmental context,
    bodily provocation and the perceived menace during the social encounter.
    The outcomes of the research confirmed that there may be a low
    stage of information about side effects.
    But at present, the largest problem with these brokers is misuse.[34]
    Despite laws to restrict the empirical prescription and dishing out
    of those brokers, these medicines proceed to be misused by
    many individuals, particularly athletes. The instant effects of AAS within the brain are mediated by their
    binding to androgen (male intercourse hormone) and
    estrogen (female sex hormone) receptors on the surface of a cell.
    This AAS receptor complicated can then shuttle into the cell nucleus to affect patterns
    of gene expression. As A Outcome Of of this, the acute results of AAS in the mind are considerably
    totally different from those of different medicine
    of abuse. In 1953, a testosterone-derived steroid often recognized as norethandrolone (17α-ethyl-19-nortestosterone) was synthesized at G.

    DHT stimulated both MSTN in rats and MyoD expression in 11–12-week-old male C57BL6 mouse muscle (9, 18).
    DHT triggered MSTN to have a biphasic response considerably different than a management in C2C12 myoblasts; expression was very low two days post-administration, elevated strongly at 4 days publish, decreased
    at six days post, and eventually increased at eight days post (6).
    Therapy of C2C12 cells with DHT and THG resulted in robust MSTN mRNA expression four
    and seven days post-administration (6). DHT was unable
    to induce MSTN expression in 12-week old AR knockout mice but was in a position to reverse an ORX-instigated
    decrease in MSTN expression (8).
    In hamsters, aggressive behavior has generally been the dependent variable (DeLeon et al., 2002; Ricci et al.,
    2009), though one research has examined the effect of AAS on sexual
    behavior (Salas-Ramirez et al., 2008). In rats, aggression has been studied in detail
    (Cunningham and McGinnis, 2006, 2007; Farrell and McGinnis,
    2003; Frahm et al., 2011; Keleta et al., 2007; Kubala
    et al., 2008; Wesson and McGinnis, 2006). In addition, the consequences
    of AAS on sexual behavior and two androgen-dependent behaviors,
    scent marking and ultrasonic vocalizations have been examined.
    A steroid’s energy is dependent upon issues like its androgenic and anabolic ratio, the individual’s genetic response to the compound, how delicate they are to estrogenic and DHT related effects, and
    whether they’re utilizing different steroids.
    Individuals illegally use anabolic steroids to extend lean muscle mass,
    scale back fat, and pace up restoration from injury. Some athletes, weightlifters, and bodybuilders take them often to enhance their bodily efficiency and construct up their bodies.
    The misuse of anabolic steroids may cause long-term side effects together with cardiovascular problems,
    liver disease, reproductive organ harm, and extreme mood swings.
    Anabolic steroids have many physical results, together with selling muscle development and rising power and energy.

    A current trigger for concern is the current manufacture of analogues
    of established anabolic steroids to tap into the bodybuilding market.
    These steroids are provided for oral administration, and are
    due to this fact subject to first-pass metabolism,
    an important issue as to the extent the steroid is deactivated or transformed to a extra lively type.
    This evaluate suggests that AAS misuse and abuse lead to opposed results in all
    body tissues and organs. This review shows that long-term administration of high doses of AASs might result
    in severe consequences, similar to hypogonadism, cardiac impairment, neurodegeneration, coronary artery illness and sudden cardiac dying.
    The most reported long-term unwanted effects have an effect on the cardiovascular system,
    corresponding to cardiomyopathy and atherosclerotic disease.
    Hypogonadism is a frequent discovering in AAS abusers and need to be
    taken into consideration when AAS use is suspected to find
    a way to undertake aggressive remedy [8,120].

    Expression of Pax7 following DHT administration in C2C12 myoblasts was low two days
    post-administration however elevated to peak values
    four days post-administration (6). Since severe AAS-induced violence or criminality is rare, many clinicians
    have never immediately encountered this phenomenon, and therefore they may misunderstand the character of those results.
    This misunderstanding is partially perpetuated by the frequent but non-scientific time period, “‘roid rage,” which could appear to counsel that AAS customers show abrupt outbursts of mood or sudden acts of violence.

    The different sites only accepted third-party methods of fee
    similar to money orders or Bitcoin. All of the sites, except
    anabolics.com, utilized worldwide pharmacies as suppliers (Table 2), with every
    displaying Legal Alternatives to Dianabol disclaimers relinquishing
    duty for compliance with native legal guidelines regulating drug use to the buyer.
    Many of the international pharmacies possessed individual
    web sites with common data, but some didn’t, such as Scrioxx.
    Anabolic steroids promote muscle building and the development of male sexual characteristics,
    which is why they may be medically prescribed to treat delayed puberty,
    hormonal issues, or muscle loss from sure illnesses. While they are beneficial in these managed medical treatments, their misuse can lead
    to severe well being problems. Customers usually take doses a lot greater than medically recommended,
    main to numerous side effects.

  2. Regardless Of testosterone being the first mediator of LH’s effect on spermatogenesis, exogenous administration of
    testosterone can not help spermatogenesis.
    Intratesticular testosterone (ITT) levels are about 50 to 100 instances
    higher than in circulation (180) and exogenous administration severely suppresses this to levels which
    may be unable to support spermatogenesis (181). Erythrocytosis, or
    polycythemia, a rise in blood hematocrit
    or hemoglobin ranges, is a standard facet effect of AAS use, even on alternative dosages.
    It is probably the most frequent adverse occasion in older
    men receiving testosterone substitute therapy (TRT) (40).

    They can help you understand the risks and advantages of
    oral steroids and decide the most effective
    remedy in your individual wants. Utilizing oral steroids without
    a doctor’s prescription is unlawful and harmful.

    If you would possibly be considering using oral steroids for any purpose,
    seek the assistance of a healthcare professional to discuss your choices and understand the potential
    risks involved. They can help you establish if oral steroids are applicable in your
    situation and supply protected and effective treatment choices.

    The HAARLEM study, however, found no interaction between blood strain and echocardiographic parameters –
    in all probability as a end result of the increase was
    delicate and of relatively quick duration (97).

    Future research is important to discover the
    efficacy of blood pressure-lowering medicine on this group of
    patients as no trial so far has evaluated this.

    Moreover, they are not on the current record of prohibited substances and methods of the
    World Anti-Doping Association, which could – paradoxically – be relevant for some AAS users.
    Alternatively, or additionally, calcium channel blockers are a most popular selection in athletes (98).
    Testosterone is bioactivated into a stronger androgen in tissues
    expressing enzymes of the 5α-reductase family.
    These enzymes catalyze a discount reaction at carbon 5, including
    an α-oriented hydrogen atom. With testosterone as a substrate, this reaction yields probably the most potent
    naturally occurring androgen, particularly, dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

    Winstrol will promote power positive aspects at a stage that
    could be shocking, especially after we think about it as a
    chopping steroid. Sustaining strength whereas weight-reduction plan is crucial, however Winny
    can significantly enhance power beyond fundamental maintenance.
    I’ve heard of individuals describing their strength positive aspects with Winstrol as being just like a steroid like
    Trenbolone in some cases. The benefits and positive effects of Winstrol must be balanced against the negatives, together with its
    high stage of hepatotoxicity. This is why most individuals use Winstrol
    sparingly and at times when it is going to be of most profit – similar to earlier
    than competitions.
    Many customers also add pure check boosters like Swolverine DHEA or ZMT to support restoration, sleep, and libido.
    Injectables are generally safer over the lengthy term,
    notably by way of organ stress, hormone regulation, and blood lipid administration. Oral steroids require no
    injections, making them far more approachable for these new to anabolic use.
    This convenience is often seen as a major benefit in each clinical and non-clinical
    settings. For customers who usually are not involved about their health,
    trenbolone and Winstrol might produce the best outcomes.

    Anavar is as shut as scientists ever came to designing
    one of the best oral steroid, because it appears to
    have the least amount of unwanted effects of all of the steroids.
    Anavar, chemically referred to as Oxandrolone, is the preferred compound utilized by
    females but remains to be utilized by men frequently to extend muscle size and conditioning.

    Winstrol can help cut back water retention which will result in a drier and extra
    grainy look compared to Anavar side effect management guide.

    In medical analysis, TUDCA has been proven to be efficient in treating continual energetic hepatitis.
    25% of the a hundred mg group had their ALT and AST liver enzymes improve over 5-fold.

    Due To This Fact, if a maintenance-calorie diet is adopted, the person won’t acquire subcutaneous fat.

    Despite orals being extra handy and simpler to take,
    there are drawbacks to taking tablets, which might be detailed within the unwanted effects section. We have seen users
    add 30 pounds to their bench press in the first 10 days on Anadrol.

    Some of this measurement might be temporary intracellular fluid retention, giving the muscles a
    more pumped look.
    Superdrol is never stacked with other steroids as a outcome of
    its extreme antagonistic effects. Thus, a Superdrol-only cycle is usually
    utilized by bodybuilders making an attempt to
    overcome plateaus. Our patients have described Superdrol because the
    oral equal of trenbolone, inflicting rapid changes in physique composition and dry muscle gains.
