The Pandora Principle by Noree Cosper
The moment Cassi's gaze locks with Mercer Chaplin's she know she has to have him. She scoffs when her best friend warns her to stay away. But maybe she should listen. When her aunt comes to reclaim her for the legacy of Pandora to hunt down the evils released by her troublesome ancestor, Cassi rebels. She’s determined to get as much from her last year of college as possible, including Mercer. But he's got secrets of his own. And as she falls deeper down the rabbit hole, signs begin to suggest that Mercer could be one of those evils she's fated to hunt. Too bad Cassi can’t put her heart in a box.

She buried her nose in both fiction and books about Wicca, Religion, and Mythology. Everyday became an adventure as she joined a group of role-players, acting out her fantasies of vampires, demons, and monsters living in the world.
She embraced her nerdom wholeheartedly.
Noree grew, but never left her love for fantasy and horror. Her dreams pushed her and her hand itched to write the visions she saw. So, with her fingers on the keys, she did what her heart had been telling her to do since childhood. She wrote.

In Deep Shift
Did you ever wonder how Wolfie grew from the slightly addle-pated youngster in Bloodling Wolf to the steady, solid alpha in Shiftless? Or maybe you wished you knew more about Wade's past. Either way, my newest novelette, In Deep Shift, should answer at least some of your questions. And it's free today as a thank you for following along!
Once you're done, if you enjoyed In Deep Shift,
I hope you'll consider leaving a review on Amazon and/or Goodreads. I'm
trying out this one-day-freebie launch strategy, and whether or not I
repeat the endeavor depends on how many reviews roll in during the first
week. So, if you want to read my next book free on day one as well,
don't forget to tell others what you thought of In Deep Shift!
Meanwhile, if you're
reading this post on April 30 or later...I'm sorry, but you missed the
flash free period! On the plus side, the novelette is priced at 99 cents
and will be in Kindle Unlimited for the next 90 days, so checking it
out still won't break the bank.
***
What's coming down the
pike next? Well, I was hoping you'd help me decide! I always have more
ideas than time to write, and there are three top contenders at the
moment. If you've got a strong opinion one way or the other, I hope
you'll comment and let me know which story you prefer to read first.
Option A: I thought In Deep Shift
was going to be the end of Wolfie's story...but my favorite bloodling
told me there's another adventure (or maybe two...) that he wants to
participate in. So, Option A is another novelette that picks up where
the current offering leaves off. The bonus of choosing this option is
that since novelettes are only about the quarter of the length of a
novel, they come out faster --- I can probably have another novelette in
your hands by the middle of June.
Option B:
A cat-shifter-turned-cat-burglar stole into my mind in a dream, and I
haven't been able to get him out of my head since. This option would be a
novel, slightly higher on the romance than Shiftless
but still very much a fantastical adventure. There's a lonely
veterinarian, a pre-Columbian artifact, and much more waiting to be
written in this shifter novel. Estimated completion date: maybe
September?
Option C:
I know I left Terra hanging again, and the third novel in the series
will be the dramatic conclusion. Trouble is, the plot hasn't
come to me in a dream yet, so my plan at the moment is to mull over my
heroine's next adventure all summer and write once the days start
turning cold. If you really, really don't want to read anything except
the culmination of Terra's story, though, please let me know and I'll
find a way to put my thinking cap on faster!
I look forward to hearing what you think. And, as always, thanks for reading!

Hunting Pennies
Errol
was a war orphan, left to raise himself while his father fought in
World War II and while his severely depressed mother struggled to hold
together her young family.
Growing up in a backwoods
town where life more closely resembled the 1920s than the 1940s, Errol
hunted pennies to buy treats, surfed on borrowed skiffs behind the
paddle wheels of passing river boats, and sought adult influences
wherever he could find them.
Viewing this world through both a child's and an adult's eyes, Hunting Pennies offers vivid glimpses of innocence transitioning seamlessly into sophisticated efforts to find peace with the past.
With publication credits as diverse as National Public Radio's All Things Considered and Madison Review,
Hess has distilled half a century of poetry into this memoir in verse,
loading its pages with humor, melancholy, and a healthy dose of Huck
Finn-style adventure.
Hunting Pennies is free on Amazon today, so I hope you'll consider giving it a read!

Spring is here!
Spring is here...and so is my spring cookbook! With another dozen-plus recipes that are easy and delicious to fix using homegrown ingredients, Farmstead Feast: Spring
should hit the spot. As a bonus, I've included a step-by-step guide to
harvesting dandelions and taking maple syrup from tree to table, along
with a quick primer on planting for a 12-month harvest.
Sound interesting? Then act fast because the book is free today only!
I'm hoping to entice my kind readers to read and review quickly so the
average reader (who's never heard my name) will consider taking a chance
on the book. Thanks in advance if you take a minute to leave a review
on Amazon or Goodreads once you're done checking out my newest book!
***
On a related note, I'm well aware that cookbooks are a bit annoying to use in ereader form. So I've made a print version of Farmstead Feast: Winter, and marked the price down to the bare minimum Amazon would allow --- $3.99. There will be a print edition of Farmstead Feast: Spring coming down the pipe soon, too, so stay tuned!
And, finally, if you're not sure whether Farmstead Feast: Winter
is worth keeping on your shelf, come back to Amazon tomorrow and the
ebook will be free for a limited time. I hope that helps you round out
your cookbook collection. And, as always, thanks for reading!

Trailersteading on sale for 99 cents!
Trailersteading
began as a joke, turned into an inspiration for aspiring homesteaders,
and now --- in its expanded second edition --- the ebook contains dozens
of pages of additional hands-on information to help turn that
inspiration into a reality.
Even if you don't want to live in a mobile home, this book contains
step-by-step instructions for replicating some of our permaculture
systems, like treating greywater in a wetland that provides beautiful
wildlife habitat and also grow cattails for the table.
There are sections on rain barrels and humanure, along with thirteen
case studies of homesteaders who have embraced voluntary simplicity in a
mobile home.
And, of course, if you think a trailer might be in your future, the book
will be even more helpful with tips on insulating, fire-proofing, and
much more.
Trailersteading usually goes for $5.99, but it's on sale right now for 99 cents. So snag your copy and enjoy!

Will you hep me go wide?
Amazon
is a fun and easy environment where most independent authors learn to
swim. But, eventually, many of us grow out of the Amazon kiddie pool and
go wide, making our books available on retailers other than Amazon.
Unfortunately, the waters of Google, iTunes, and so forth are dark and
shark infested, and we enter those strange seas with some trepidation.
Perhaps you'll ease my fright by spending five minutes helping me gain
traction at the new e-retailers?
The most important way to
gain a toehold at any e-retailer is reviews, and many of you have
kindly written reviews of my books on Amazon in the past. Now I'm hoping
you'll help me out one more time by copying and pasting your reviews to
the new retailers. And, to sweeten the pot, I'm providing free Smashwords codes for each book in my Wolf Rampant series so you can download a copy and read if you haven't already. Here are the retailer links for each book:

I definitely don't
expect you to copy your reviews over to every site, but if you already
have an account at Barnes & Noble, iTunes, Google, or Kobo, those
are my top priority. Thank you in advance for helping me learn to tread water in the wider, darker ocean beyond Amazon!

hatched chicks will be hitting our post office this week, and to

supplies at little or no cost. First, don't miss Pasture Basics,

learned about rotational chicken pasturing over the last few years and
should help prevent the smelly, brown chicken runs I often see on
others' farms.
The second book, Thrifty Chicken Breeds, is marked down to 99 cents today. This companion ebook picks up where Pasture Basics leaves off and helps you choose the right type of chicken to put on your new pasture.
And, to make this a true chicken-giveaway week, one lucky reader will walk away with a free premade EZ Miser,
our favorite type of waterer for pastured poultry. Just share why you
want an EZ Miser (or why you love the Avian Aqua Miser or EZ Miser
you've already got) on facebook, twitter, or google plus, click on the

Sapling Grove Secrets
Our newest release comes from Errol Hess, one of the founding editors of Sow's Ear Magazine and an award-winning author who has been published in Madison Review and many other journals. His debut book, Sapling Grove Secrets,

Berry and O. Henry. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did!

free today on Amazon. So snag your copy now, and if you like what you
read, please consider leaving a short review when you're done. Thanks in

Wolf Rampant series marked down today!
Now's your chance to catch up on Terra's adventures for only $1.98! The first novel in the series, Shiftless, is free today; the second novel, Pack Princess, is marked down to 99 cents; and the prequel short story, Bloodling Wolf, is available at its normal low price of 99 cents. I hope you enjoy the ride!
While I'm on the subject, I'm not sure I ever mentioned that Bloodling Wolf
is also available as an audiobook. Douglas Thornton's excellent
narration makes Wolfie's childhood come alive, and I'm already thinking
of new stories to tell from Wolfie's point of view specifically so that
Douglas can keep his hand in the series. You owe it to yourself not to
miss his excellent performance!
