EBM BOTM SEPTEMBER
I would like to nominate my book The Mirror Stage! It is a crime thriller, and the first book in a trilogy.Summary: Ada Brandt wants everyone to think she’s normal. A writing professor at a local Seattle college, she personifies the saying “those who can’t, teach” after a few failed attempts at becoming an author led her to the classroom. She owns a chic little house, drives a sporty car, and comes home to her dog after a long day at work. You’d never know she’s the daughter of one of Seattle’s most infamous serial killers — a fact Ada has labored her whole life to bury.
Then the FBI’s BAU team arrives to investigate a recent murder spree and Ada is strong-armed by the BAU’s bull-headed lead agent James Deacon into helping with the investigation. As Ada and the BAU dive deeper into the case, two things become glaringly apparent: this is not a typical murder case, and catching their suspect is only the beginning of an investigation that will alter the lives of everyone involved.
The Mirror Stage is the first installment of The Imago Trilogy and is J.J. Stone’s debut novel.
I would like to nominate my book Keeper of the GiftB00MEM46WU
“From faerie to mortal, for the life you did save, a powerful gift I do give. Keeper of the gift, justice you will serve. Evil cannot hide from the power to see, and when evil walks, all will be revealed. When the banshee’s wail is heard, in death’s sweet slumber, the gift will be held. Daughter to daughter, when courage acts, the power will pass."
Kerry Branson is a police detective turned private investigator. During the investigation of an armed robbery of a convenience store, she suffers a life-threatening gunshot wound to the head as she attempts to save the life of a young boy. When she wakes from her coma, she finds her near-death experience has caused her life to take a bizarre and eerie turn. She has been given a strange and powerful gift—a power that dates back hundreds of years. A power so improbable that she questions her very sanity. As she attempts to understand and use her new abilities, she draws the attention of a serial killer, dubbed by the media—the Ravine Killer. He has her in his sights as his next target.

I'd like to nominate my book, Sadie Sapiens. It currently enjoys a 4.8/5.0 rating from 18 Amazon reviews."How smart is YOUR dog?"
Sadie Sapiens is the story of Emma, a shy and insecure high schooler whose discovery of a tiny smart dog, Sadie, helps her deal with life’s challenges, creating a unique bond of intelligence and love.
Emma, trying to avoid her overbearing mother and jerk of a younger brother, discovers her new puppy really understands her. They create a secret spoken language, Doglish, that draws them closer together and helps protect Emma from the pain of growing young love and a family that is falling apart.
This story, about a small dog that learns to communicate with her owner, starts off cutesy but soon explores the dark side of animal cruelty and the way we humans treat dogs as property, to be loved or discarded on a whim. There's also a speculative scifi/bio angle on why a dog would become intelligent and how much fun it is to discuss the human condition from a non-human angle.
Having erased my sixth book, I'm following advice and nominating my first book instead!It's Death in a Scarlet Gown.
1802. An ancient Scottish university is wracked by murder. A vindictive professor, an uncouth student, and a man seeking ministry lie dead, but who wanted to kill them? Charles Murray, a student with enough problems of his own, is drawn into the mystery, where neither innocuous accidents nor good friends are all they seem. Death in a Scarlet Gown is the first in the Murray of Letho series, set in Georgian Scotland.

The Day Uncle Jimmy Learned to Fly
Humour for all ages, with a moral: that looks can be deceptive. I suppose you could call it SF/fantasy with a difference, but don’t let that bother you.James Jones, Interplanetary Minerals Surveyor happens across a world which defies all the rules that any sensible planet should follow. It certainly fools the ship’s computer, which causes him to crash and be marooned in this strange place. To six year old Kipper, who lives in a crumbling cottage with his Ma and Pa and his sisters Anemone and Hernia, the world of course seems normal and he takes for granted the grass that moves out of his way, the family ancestor tree, his spontaneously combusting cat and other things which to the stranger just don’t make sense.
Wits are in short supply in Kipper’s household, in fact in the population as a whole, but Kipper takes it upon himself to be Jimmy’s mentor, under the suspicious glare of his Ma and the total indifference of his Pa. Ma is suspicious because Jimmy’s arrival seemed to coincide with the heavy blanket of snow, that wasn’t cold and didn’t melt, and which he didn’t want to talk about.
Uncle Jimmy has a hard time adapting to the unnatural laws of this world, and an even harder time learning to fly, as inevitably he must. But when disaster strikes the village and the inhabitants see their world falling apart, literally, all eyes turn to the recent stranger. But are they seeking salvation, or retribution?
Put credibility aside for a couple of hours, read the book, and find out. All makes sense in the end, or is it the beginning? Kipper is a great little character, but his future depends on your reviews!

I would like to nominate my medical thriller LETHAL CURE. “The book moves forward with impressive momentum . . . Like running up a spiral staircase--you might see where it's going, but the twists will leave you dizzy.”—Kirkus Reviews
“This medical thriller is chock-full of fascinating ideas—memory erasure, memory transfer, the military applications of memory—that will hook readers almost immediately.”—Publisher’s Weekly
A teenage girl hobbles into the emergency room on the stump of an amputated leg, only to die in the arms of Dr. Jake Warner. She leaves behind a handgun, a strange diary, and many unanswered questions. Haunted by his inability to save the girl, Jake photocopies the diary before turning it over to the police. Days later another patient dies unexpectedly, and Jake also discovers that he has somehow forgotten everything from an entire day. Seemingly by coincidence he has also just won a free vacation to Europe. The trip comes with strange restrictions, but he accepts and brings the girl’s diary with him. He can't shake the feeling that something is terribly wrong, and that somehow it's related to his memory loss and the diary. Despite everything that has happened to him, Jake falls in love with Tykeria, a tourist that he witnesses get mugged on the streets of Milan. Together they try to figure out the connections among the deaths, the diary, and Jake’s forgotten day. But Jake’s problems, including his memory loss, are only just beginning, and somehow he must cross the void of lost memories not only to reveal the true cause of his patient’s deaths but also to save himself.

Hi everyone! :) I'd like to nominate my book The Benighted, which is the first book in a saga. Although the story has a very dark and twisted story line, here is the plot in a nutshell: 
The prison had no name. It was built to shun its captors from the world, to strip the humanity inside its walls to its barbaric state. And inside one of the countless cells sits the last Mandolyn, the last royal whose family has been brutally murdered. Sitting - and waiting – is Skylar Mandolyn, imprisoned for helping in the escape of her knight who has been framed for the King's death. As she feels the tremors crawl up from the stone floors, and hears the countless screams that echo throughout the hollow halls, Skylar knows that a war is coming. Her only hope is in the person she has tried to save – Harlin, her knight who was sworn to protect her. His presence surrounds her when the darkness screams louder than the prisoners, and when Death smiles a faceless grin in between the cracks of the stone. The mystery was never how Harlin escaped. It's how he will return.

Hi all--I would like to nominate my legal thriller Hallways in the Night.Are you looking for a book that starts off strong and holds your attention until the last page? If yes, then Hallways in the Night is one I'm confident you will enjoy. Reader reviewers have been both positive and enthusiastic. I hope members of eBook Miner will consider Hallways in the Night for September's Book of the Month.
"When a veteran cop tries to arrest baseball's home run king, one of them will end up on trial and the other will end up dead."
A page-turner from start to finish, Hallways in the Night will take you on a journey from inner city Atlanta to the upper echelons of the State's power structure where back room deals are made in pursuit of the kind of justice that only money can buy.
As the trial date gets closer, the stakes will get bigger in a case where nobody can afford to tell "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Tampa Tribune: "this legal thriller is certainly hard to put down."

Hi everyone! I would like to nominate my end times prophecy book, #The_Little_Book_of_Revelation http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19...This book uncovers new information that changes everything we thought we knew about Jesus. The author concludes that scripture is essentially a collection of prophecies, not a record of past events. The book's unique argument is that Christ's incarnation has not yet occurred in the world of time—it is a future event. This is a groundbreaking work on Jesus and the end times.
This is a daringly provocative book that uncovers the ancient secret of the mystery of Christ. It’s a retelling of the Jesus story. It decodes symbols and codes to unveil a large number of thought-provoking scriptural texts that denote the existence of a secret and forbidden knowledge. This powerful treatise uncovers a post-biblical conspiracy, which has essentially turned prophecy into history. It views the Jesus legend of the gospels as historical fiction, or as biographical literary fiction. The book’s unique argument is that the gospels are non-historical stories that foretell the prophecy of Christ's coming. From the author’s viewpoint, the gospels are true, not historically, but theologically, or, as he would argue, prophetically! What we have is, the Messiah’s history written in advance in story form. But, sadly, we have confused biblical literature with history, and turned prophecy into biography.
I would like to nominate my ya, paranormal romantic fantasy entitled The Healer
A girl, a prophecy and two warring gods equals destiny.
Seventeen-year-old Hope longs for a normal teenage life, but with a gift like hers, normal equals healing illnesses and injuries instantly. Keeping a secret like that isn't easy, especially when two handsome, young men move into town and begin unearthing other secrets concerning Hope's future and past, revealing to Hope that her gift may be the fulfillment of a prophecy gone wrong.
Thank you for your consideration.

I would like to nominate the first book in my Histories of Purga series, Dragon, a sci-fi/fantasy novel set in a new, and amazing, world.I read Dragon and liked it. This is worth reading. - Review by: Piers Anthony (Bestselling author of the Xanth novels)
HE WAS HER ENEMY. SHE SAVED HIS LIFE. THE REST IS HISTORY.
Rooks have embraced science and technology, inventing helpful, microscopic robots called nanos to create any machine they need.
The Terraqouis are their opposite. They embraced the spiritual, developing a deep bond with nature. This bond allows them to shift into the animal that resembles their own, inner selves.
These two races have fought each other with brutal savagery for centuries. But things change when the Rook prince, Rone Varlamagne, is attacked and left for dead by an unknown force. Keiara, the daughter of the Terraqouis chieftain, finds him, but instead of killing him, she saves his life. It is one act. One conscious choice. But it changes everything for them and the entire world of Purga.
Together, they face foes from every direction...and they will stop at nothing to protect each other.

Hi. Please may I enter my ebook, 'A day with OCD (not that I have it)'
Here it is on GoodReads
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22888839-a-day-with-ocd?from_search=true
Ever wondered what it's like to have OCD? Why it's there and why people don't 'just stop it?' Well, the simple answer is, I don't know what or why, but I know I cannot stop. I'm okay about it though: it's not the end of the world.
Somehow strange thoughts have slowly turned into annoying habits. Do you think I have reason to believe I might be showing signs of something I never thought I would experience?
Thank you!

Hello everyone. I'd like to nominate my humorous memoir of my tour in Vietnam: Saigon Tease: So, What Did You Do in Nam, Dad?
"Catch-22" was the first classic farce about American military life. "M*A*S*H," set later during the Korean War, continued that tradition. But few books have chronicled the behind-the-scenes absurdities of the Vietnam War.
In the tradition of "Sgt. Bilko" and "What Did You Do in the War, Daddy?" SAIGON TEASE follows the misadventures, narrow escapes, and anguish of an 18-year-old in Vietnam in 1967 as he awkwardly transitions from boy to man. But it differs from its predecessors in one significant way: the bizarre escapades in SAIGON TEASE are all true. And that 18-year-old was me.
Many Americans, when asked what comes to mind when they think of Vietnam, would probably say anger, torment, sadness. I had a different experience. For that reason, the tone of my book is not angry, tormented, or sad. The war is a backdrop to my story, not the stage. SAIGON TEASE isn't meant to diminish the suffering and sacrifice of those who fought, bled, and/or died there. Instead, its purpose is to pay homage to Vietnam, its people, and those who served there.
SAIGON TEASE is not a war story, and yet it is very much a war story. It's not a diary from the front lines; it's a chronicle from behind the lines where the vast majority of Vietnam vets served. It's a saga of wonder and beauty and innocence and mischief set in exotic Southeast Asia during the pivotal war of our generation.
But perhaps the most significant thing about SAIGON TEASE is that these tales were not the exceptions; they were the norm for most men and women who went there. And that story has never been told.
Saigon Tease: So, What Did You Do in Nam, Dad?
