A 250-year-old puzzle box holds the secret origin of Miracle, Massachusetts--and the reason for 3 grisley murders. Only Myx Amens can open it--but you'd have to be insane to let him try.Congratulations To Laura! Now A New York Times Bestselling Author!

Ice Fountain--Miracle Myx Falls

Add to My Profile | More Videos
How can Elbridge Sonnet, a man who disappeared 250 years ago, control the destinies of citzens in present-day Miracle, Massachusetts? He could have had a mystic vision; he could have believed in miracles; he could have encoded a secret that had the potential to unleash dark desires and fanatical beliefs; he could have thought the secret was safe forever.
But, Sonnet never foresaw a Myx Amens.
Myx Amens can't sleep--hasn't in over three years since his second death. This leaves him with endless hours that he fills with others' lives. Mostly collecting the truths and untruths they hide even from themselves. He traps all this while a captive of his own unerring, unremitting synesthetic memory. Oh, did I tell you synesthesia, the inexplicable mingling of his senses, was a surprising remnant of his first death?
Stare though Myx's eyes for an unblinking 42 hours as he squeezes through the cracks in Miracle's peaceful facade to find that the nature of man may evolve, but it never changes.
An unfathomable puzzle box stirs the forces that would have been better left buried with the founding of Miracle centuries before. But Friday night's executions and hazy glitches in Myx's heretofore perfect recollections point towards a clock that's ticking down to the 250-year-old celebration of Founder's Day on Tuesday.
Myx is looking forward to it--even if it means his third, and probably final death.

3 KEY REASONS WHY::

YOU Will LOVE MIRACLE MYX:
:

    You get to meet Myx Amens!Match wits with ME!You'll find out something about yourself!
How far would you go to create a miracle?

Two near-death encounters have left Myx Amens with an exteme case of synesthesia and a chronic bout of absolute sleeplessness. He fills his endless hours by uncovering the intimate secrets of all those who interest him--or those who dare to use him.

A 250-year-old puzzle box holds the secret of Miracle, Massachusetts' shocking origin--and the motive for a recent series of grisly murders. Follow Myx for an unblinking forty-two hours as he pits his synesthetic brain against a past genius, his final follower, and a killer who rips tattoos from victims after neatly shooting them. Myx bets the last of his innocence against betrayal, seduction, and his third (and probably final) death.
Miracle Myx ..
Sounds Like:

Once upon a time, there was a left-brained boy who was good at math and science and nuclear physics and stuff.

Although he liked to read a lot and appreciated art, he never expressed himself other than taking pride in writing very clear and concise scientific summaries.

He noticed that others' writing sucked for the most part and was determined to find out why and NOT do whatever they were doing that sucked.

His right brain was waking up, and he learned to do some art with Photoshop, which greatly pleased him.

During this time, he was married, parented, then unmarried (but--NEVER unparented--nuh-uh!).

He also had a personal best running streak of 10 days. Then he decided to break that streak and hasn't missed a single day of running (about 2 miles) for over 30 years.

Finally, after he had a revelation about what made fiction interesting, engaging, and not sucking--he wrote the mystery MIRACLE MYX--which went on to become a bestseller.

THE END

NOTE: Everything above is true EXCEPT the "bestseller" part--which is where YOU come in! (heh! heh!):
