eBully by Dave Conifer has received an average user rating of 4 out of 5 stars based on 25 customer reviews. I received a note from the author saying this is the last day for this book to be free.
Category: Suspense / Young Adult
Here is the book’s description from the Amazon website:
Vice Principal Steve Lukather is desperate. Just like last year, an internet bully is terrorizing one of his students at Lakeland Middle School. Last time it ended badly when the victim was found with two slashed wrists after an attempted suicide. This year, after a series of nasty computer messages and an indiscreet photograph of Carly Gillette spread through the student body Lukather knows it’s happening again. This time he’s determined to stop the bully in his tracks before Gillette ends up reaching for a razor blade.
Thirteen-year-old Scott Halifax has a juvy rap sheet that could peel wallpaper but he’s just what Lukather needs — a street-smart, tech-savvy kid with no roots. Lukather makes a deal with Halifax: go undercover as a student at Lakeland and nail the bully in return for a ticket out of the County Detention Center and a clean slate.
Once he’s in at Lakeland Halifax teams up with Tom Seidel, the nerdy kid that everyone loves to hate. It isn’t long before Scott, Tom and Carly’s best friend Lisa are working together. It takes a lot of hard work, some sly computer sleuthing and a little dumb luck before they expose the bully. And it’s the last person that anybody would have suspected.
eBully draws on recent headlines about cyber-bullying, including the need to update harassment and stalking laws to reflect new technologies.

Category: Science Fiction
Here is the book’s description from the Amazon website:
There is a place where nightmares are real. It is a dark and terrifying place, hidden from the world we know by borders that
only the most unfortunate of souls will ever cross.
James Halldon woke up in the dark, alone, without any food or water, without a clue where he was, and with no memory of
where he came from.
It only got stranger.
James has somehow found his way to The Corridor, a midnight place that no human should ever see and the prison of a creature
that has destroyed entire worlds. Somehow James has to learn to survive.
But he is not alone. The lost souls of others who have drifted into The Corridor, and died, also haunt this world, and they
have been waiting a long time for someone to come along.
The Journal of James Halldon is a dark sci-fi novel that follows Halldon’s struggle to survive whilst trying to understand
the strange, dark, and terrifying world in which he is trapped.
If it’s dark when you wake up, and you can hear growling, then close your eyes and maybe it will go away.
But maybe it won’t…

Category: Mystery & Thrillers / Historical Fiction

Private eye Maggie Sullivan knows the streets of Depression-era Dayton, Ohio, as well as she knows an emery board. With a gin bottle in her desk, a .38 under her seat, and a great pair of legs she can hold her own against the toughest opponent.
Then a routine case makes her a murder suspect and the target of a crime boss who’s got friends at City Hall.
Moving through a landscape where people line up at soup kitchens, Maggie draws information from sources others overlook: The waitress at the dime store lunch counter where she has breakfast; a corner newsboy; a nightclub cigarette girl in the rooming house where she lives. She shifts to a war of wits when she wants something from her shutterbug pal on the evening paper or the new cop teamed with her late father’s partner.
Before Maggie finds all the answers she needs, she’s drugged and left in a ditch, has tea in the kitchen of a local cathouse and gambles her own life to save two others.

In The Shadow of Babylon by John Schwartz has received an average user rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars based on 41 customer reviews.
Category: Action & Adventure
Here is the book’s description from the Amazon website:
Have you ever wondered where emotions come from?
Do you wish you could live in the present rather than thinking about the past or worrying about a future that may never come?
Do you often wish you could have more control over the direction of your life?
Secrets revealed in the oldest writing ever discovered reach out to the present with simple but powerful life lessons.
In The Shadow of Babylon is a story about the modern world of Jihad, terror and suffering wrapped in an ancient message of bravery, wisdom and joy. The lessons learned by the warrior poet Ayuba as he transitions from an ignorant orphan held in captivity by a band of brutal nomads into a heroic leader of an ancient country are as critical to the 21st century as they were 10,000 years ago.
Can an ancient scroll discovered in a vault beneath Baghdad’s Azzohour Palace provide the answer to Iraq’s current crisis? The scroll–pre-dating Hammurabi’s Code by more than 7000 years–details the life of a shepherd who became the founder of a country that existed and thrived in pre-history. It may be the most profound archeological find ever. Shortly after the first Gulf War, an ancient gold-paneled tomb is discovered in Baghdad. Dr. Elman Darshi, the world’s leading Sumerian language authority, is ordered by Saddam to translate the find. Warned of Saddam’s paranoia over ancient prophecies, the professor smuggles his translation to his daughter Alexandria, a doctoral student at University of California, Berkeley. Shortly after completing the translation, Dr. Darshi, his wife, and youngest daughter disappear. When Iraq is liberated and Saddam deposed, the secret tomb is rediscovered. Only Alexandria can read the esoteric writing inscribed on its walls. Together with Dr. Ibrahim Feroz, a young and handsome associate professor at University of Chicago, they present the ancient poem, called The Song of Ayuba, to the world on a global National Geographic TV special.
When the inscribed panels are removed from the underground crypt, a scroll incased in an urn is discovered. It is an autobiography of a warrior poet named Ayuba and proves to be the oldest writing in the world. Publication of the scroll reveals profound life lessons that foment fear and anger in radical Muslims and hope for the majority throughout the Middle East.
Ayuba’s message makes In the Shadow of Babylon hard to put down–each page reveals a new adventure brimming with danger. Ayuba’s message echoes through several millennium. A stanza of his epic poem inscribed on the gold panels now on display in the Museum of Ancient History located on the ruins of the storied city of Babylon sums up the vision of his life.
