From the reviewers:
After reading about 75 or 80 pages, I suspected that Ms. Pentermann was not only an admirer of Ayn Rand, but possibly her 21st century replacement. When I finished the book there was no doubt in my mind on either count. This is a great story, combining action and suspense, revolving around a time machine. It may even be a time machine by itself as it transports us into a possible future that, sadly, may be ahead for America. – R. Wall
Nine-Tenths is both a time-travel story and a Dystopian future novel. While I’m always in when it comes to time travel, I tend to avoid most Dystopian society books on account of the fact that they depress the hell out of me. But I took a chance on Meira and Nine-Tenths, in the hopes that she could deliver a good story, and I’m glad I did. – D. Ray Daniels
This is a terrific book with wonderful characters that draw you in and make you want to know what will happen next. I love to read a book where I can envision characters and the places where they are and Ms. Pentermann delivers! A must read for anyone that likes a great story! – Mary-Nancy Smith

On slow, snowy days in her Colorado home, Meira Pentermann enjoys cozying up on the couch with a novel. Naturally, snow is not a requirement; neither is the couch. In fact, she sees no reason not to indulge in reading three-hundred-and-sixty-five days a year. Apocalyptic science fiction, mysteries, and young adult titles top her Kindle list, but legal thrillers and chik-lit make an appearance now and then.
When not absorbed in writing or reading, Meira enjoys life’s little moments with her family – the love and devotion of her black lab, the quiet wisdom of her artistic twenty-one-year-old, the trials and triumphs of her petite sixth grader, and the unlimited encouragement offered by her Dutch husband.
Meira strives to write stories that deliver the unexpected. She prefers down-to-earth characters that look and behave like regular folks. The prom queen and Adonis take a backseat to reclusive, soul-searching heroines and quirky, introverted gentlemen.
Meira’s first novel, Firefly Beach, released on March 16, 2009 through Lyrical Press, is a paranormal cozy mystery set on the coast of Maine.
Nine-Tenths, her second novel. is a dystopian science-fiction released in 2011.
