Welcome to STOP #1 of Carolee Dean’s

FORGET ME NOT GHOST TOUR!

Simon Pulse, October 2, 2012 - Available Now!!!

Click this Ghost Tour button to Enter the Contest for a chance to win one of 9 gorgeous pieces of Forget Me Not jewelry!

FORGET ME NOT is the story of a young girl, Ally Cassell, who makes a rash and desperate decision after being bullied and ostracized to the point of humiliation. She then finds herself vacillating between worlds.

In this new realm Ally can see the ghosts inhabiting her school.

The structure of the school is a bit like Dante’s INFERNO. People gravitate to different areas depending on how they died.

Check out the poem below from Elijah’s point of view (he can see ghosts too) and discover who dwells where.

Be sure to scroll to the end to find a link to the rest of the tour and learn how you can win the unique, hand-crafted jewelry designed specially for the GHOST TOUR such as this forget-me-not bracelet:

THE NINE CIRCLES OF RAVEN VALLEY HIGH

(from pg. 112 of FORGET ME NOT by Carolee Dean copyright 2012)

There’s an abandoned football field

up on a hill that looks down

on the new stadium.

It’s filled with soldiers from some

obscure civil war battle that didn’t

make it into the history books.

Day after day

boys barely older than me

fight the same war.

Night after night

they lie bloody on the grass.

Every now and then,

when one of them is ready

to cross over,

a raven comes

to take him

to the next world.

There used to be a courthouse

where the old gym stands.

They hung murderers

and horse thieves

on the steps.

That’s where the

violent offenders go.

As for their victims,

they occupy a

corner of the prop room

behind the theater.

There’s a dark corner

in the cafeteria

reserved for those

who starved to death.

Two members

from a family of early settlers

who didn’t store enough

food for the winter

and an anorexic cheerleader

from the nineties.

An abandoned ropes course

is home to the foolhardy,

and the weight room

at the back of the gym

is for the jocks

who still can’t believe

they died in their prime.

The administration building is

A melting pot

of those who succumbed

to fatal diseases,

broken hearts, and

people who just got stuck

for no apparent reason.

Not good. Not bad.

Just too mediocre

to continue on.

The Raptor Circle is the home of the one person

who died from an act of God.

As for the H-Hall,

I spent a week there last spring

when I went up to the old football field

and swallowed that bottle of pills

When I was in middle school,

Frankie used to take me

up on the hill

to see the games.

Now all I watch

are dead people.

From this perspective,

it’s like viewing

a theater in the round.
