Greetings Lovers of Paranormal:

It's that time of the month when we nominate what great paranormal books we want to read during the month of February. Up this month we have the following categories:

READER PICK: Dead trees is where it's at with the Reader Pick. The book must be a mass-market paperback book available in bricks-and-mortar bookstores and public libraries as well as an ebook edition which is available on at least THREE of the major online retailers (i.e., no Kindle Unlimited only books).

INDIE PICK: This is for our newer, edgier books by the little guy who does all the work themselves without a publishing house behind them. Must have a paperback edition available for order, but Kindle Unlimited books are allowed.

Just drop your nominations in the thread below, and on the first day of the month, we'll pick the winners. You are allowed ONE nomination in EACH category (i.e., one reader and one indie pick). Since we use Random.org to tabulate the winners, authors are allowed to nominate their own books.

Be epic!

Christie (christineocheallaigh) | 32 comments Define "edgier"...I have a friend who is at work on the second book in his series, osgensibly aimed at tweens, but I helped proofread the first book and love it, I even have my own signed copy! The first book is called Myrtle May and the Mirror in the Attic, written by Joe Egly and can be found on Amazon if anyone wants to check it out. I recommend it to anyone who likes Harry Potter or LOTR.

Kathryn (kathryno-author) | 3 comments Premonition of Terror by Kathryn Orzech
Dreamwatch.com, true paranormal experiences of ordinary people, began as a hobby. It was supposed to be fun—until premonitions from around the world predict the same catastrophic attack.

Dreamwatch.com is real and online since the late 1990s. The plot line for Premonition of Terror was inspired by the site when I wondered, What if… Who would I tell? Who would believe?

Premonition of Terror

The last time reluctant psychic Kate Kasabian revealed a prediction, people were hurt. But with thousands of lives at risk, she has no choice but to badger her FBI brother to investigate. He refuses to help. When she sets off to prove her suspicions, he thinks he's heard the last of her supernatural silliness—until the legendary Matt Chase from Counterterrorism alerts agents to a credible threat.

Every detail of Chase's briefing is identical to Kate's warnings.

Tracking clues from Prague to New England, Kate trusts psychic dreams and visions while Chase relies on global intelligence and technology to expose the U.S. plot. But will it be enough to stop the attack?

Sam | 2 comments Reader pick: Shadow Rites by Faith Hunter (Adult)
Slaying vampires is child’s play for skinwalker Jane Yellowrock. But handling the complicated politics of New Orleans’ supernatural players is another story...

Jane is keeping the peace between visiting groups of witches and vamps in the city, but then trouble comes knocking on her doorstep. When her house is magically attacked, the wild chase to find her assailants unearths a mystery that has literally been buried deep.

A missing master vampire, presumed long deceased, is found chained in a pit...undead, raving mad, and in the company of two human bodies. Now it’s up to Jane to find out who kept the vampire hidden for so long and why, because the incident could tip already high supernatural tensions to an all-out arcane war.

Indie Pick: Touched by the Moon by Lisa M. Airey (Adult)
TAKEN. The timber wolves of Fallston, South Dakota fall prey to an international ring of fur trappers. Unfortunately, timber wolves are not all they capture. Taken by a savage group of criminals and transported half a world away to Denmark, two young boys must set aside their sibling rivalry to survive the violence that surrounds them. HAUNTED. Julie Walker is haunted by the loss of her sons and haunted by the reappearance of the one man she never wanted to see again in her lifetime, Hayden Kolding. He has an agenda, and a surprising ally, forcing Julie to confront a side of herself that she has fought long and hard to deny. HUNTED. But life is seldom simply a matter of black and white. As victim becomes victor and hunter becomes hunted, there is a world of gray. And Gray Walker is out for blood.

Lucille | 2 comments Hi all. I'm one of the little guys who recently published an indie paranormal adventure fantasy, Bridles of Poseidon, about a shape-shifting mermaid who teams up with a Key West dive boat captain to try to stop another Great Flood. It is Book 1 of the Last Emissary Series--I'd be honored if you chose it to read. Thanks for considering it. Lucille (aka Bridges)

Bridles of Poseidon (The Last Emissary #1) by Bridges DelPonte

message 17: by Kerry (new)

Kerry Denney (kerrydenney) | 61 comments Thank you for this opportunity.

For the reader pick, one of my all-time favorites, NEVERWHERE by Neil Gaiman. Neverwhere

For the indie pick, my paranormal thriller DREAMWEAVERS.
Dreamweavers

Monique Lewis Happy, critically acclaimed Managing/ Acquisitions Editor at Winlock Press, says, "Kerry Alan Denney has written another pulse-pounding thriller that captivated me instantly. If Hitchcock, King, and Koontz got together for a beer, they might come up with something this horrifyingly twisted. DREAMWEAVERS has my highest recommendation!"
