I am absolutely thrilled to have YA Paranormal Fantasy Author, Noree Cosper, as my guest today! Her new book, “A Prescription For Delirium” releases on December 1st. Learn more about Noree, her amazing new novel, and what led her to the amazing world of writing down the stories that fill her head.

 

Author Interview:

Why did you become a writer? What (or who) inspired you to do what you do? I’ve always loved reading. I got my love of books from my mother. But in books I found worlds I could escape to that were far more interesting than everyday life. My mother always told me I had an active imagination. I guess that writing the stories that played out in my head just came as a natural progression.
What is the atmosphere like when you write – completely silent, or do
you listen to music? Usually, I really like to have music when I write. It helps inspire me. Though, if need be I can write without it.

What book are you reading right now? I just finished “Ghost Story” by Jim Butcher. Since this is NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) I am not starting anything new, since I need to be concentrating on writing. Though at the end, Jim Butcher’s new book come out so it will be my reward.

When you’re not writing, what do you do in your spare time? Reading, of course. I also love video games, and table top roleplaying.

Do you have any advice for aspiring authors? Read a lot. Keep writing, even if you feel your lowest. Also, look into the why of “writing advice/rules,” don’t just take them at face value. If you understand them, you will know how to use the tools effectively.

Can you share any details on what you might be working on next? Any exciting projects in the works? I am currently participating in NaNoWriMo. I’m using it to write the second book of the series which is titled “Omega Effect.”

What are your current novels, and where can we find them?

“A Prescription for Delirium” will be available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Smashwords on December 1st, 2012.

“Paramourtal” is an anthology featuring my short story “Flower of Hell.” It’s available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Smashwords.

 

A Prescription for Delirium

Blurb:

Ninety years ago, Gabriella di Luca promised to protect the family of her dying lover. She failed to keep that promise.  She was too far away to stop the devil that murdered the eldest Van Helsing son. Years later, Gabby learns the devil has resurfaced. She arrives in Hampton, TX, determined to stop the devil before it can lay a bloody hand on the remaining three brothers.

However, madness is spreading through Hampton. She suspects the devil is using this madness to test a drug which has a side effect of demonic possession.  Gabby rushes to end the source of the madness only to fall victim to it. For a woman cursed with eternal life, dying is no threat. However, Gabby must stop the devil’s plot or risk losing her most precious possession: her mind.

A Prescription for Delirium is released on December 1st, 2012.

 

Bio:

Noree Cosper loves writing about magic in the modern world. While growing up in Texas she constantly searched for mystical elements in the mundane. 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.

Noree can be found stalking people on Twitter and Facebook.

She also likes to ramble about things magical and supernatural on her blog Trip the Eclipse.

Have You Met Author, Riley J. Ford?

If you love a great young adult fiction novel full of humor, quirky romance and mystery, then this book is most definitely for you!

From break-out author, Riley J. Ford, comes a hilarious tale that will leave you turning pages until you reach the end. It’s that good…really!

I had the pleasure of reading this fabulous novel two weeks ago and devoured it in a few short days. While I should have been folding laundry or doing the dishes, I chose to sit in my comfy reading chair and swallow this book whole instead. I simply couldn’t put it down!

So what’s this one-heck-of-a-novel all about?

What if you could know exactly what your friends are thinking? High school student Winter Reynolds can, but there’s a catch…

She can only read people’s thoughts when she’s kissing them.

When a member of the track team is murdered, Winter has an opportunity to use her special ability to find the killer. Trouble is, kissing everyone on the track team isn’t such a good idea when you have a new boyfriend. Talk about complications!

Should Winter persevere using her secret power to catch the murderer still in their midst, even if it means risking her relationship with her one true love?

Riley has received a number of RAVE reviews already…which I’m not at all surprised! Take a peek! You’ll fall in love with the characters, the story, the jumbled up humor that leave you laughing out loud, and the deep mystery that is hidden underneath. AMAZING.

Amazon Reviews:

1.) There’s a ton of humor in this book: just-plain-funny humor; dark humor; romantic humor; even tragic humor. If Ford was out to showcase how well she can master the subtle nuances between them, she can color me convinced.

2.) A wonderful coming of age book that will keep you laughing up until the very last page!

3.) From the first page this novel is UN-PUT-DOWN-ABLE! The novel is packed with humor and heartache, romance and betrayal, life and death.

Grab a copy of “Into You” for Kindle today! You’ll love it.

FLIGHT OF BLUE

(KEEPER OF THE KEYS CHRONICLES)

A cursed traffic light. A rip in the fabric of the world. A possum sorcerer injured on a quest for revenge.

Kai and Ellie embark on a journey to return the sorcerer to his home. Entangled in events that could destroy the world, Kai must choose whether to accept the role he was born to play, but isn’t sure he wants.

Book Excerpt Worth Savoring!

They both deadpanned him for a second, then started laughing. “Come on, man, we’re just messing.”

“I’m Andrew,” continued the first one, who Kai thought might be slightly taller than the other one.

“And I’m Angelo. Our parents apparently had his name all picked out, nice, normal, Andrew. Then found out I’d hitched a ride on the same, you know, umbilical cord or whatever.”

“That’s stupid, Jello, all babies have their own umbilical cord, we just were born at the same time, well, me first.”

“Yeah, see, he has to even, like, lord that over me, he gets the normal name, I get nicknamed after weird brightly colored snacks, right, Drew?”

Kai couldn’t help but feel better at this routine between the brothers. “I’m Kai.”

“Kai short for…”

“Nothing, just Kai. It’s Welsh, like my dad.”

Jello put on a mock pout. “He has a normal name, you have a cool name, I’m stuck with stupid Jello.”

“Not yet you’re not!” Drew grabbed what appeared to be a cup of actual Jello from his pocket, peeled off the top and started chasing his brother around with it.

“Meet your roommates,” William sounded amused. “I’ll leave you three to, er, get acquainted.” He ducked out hastily as Drew tackled Jello and began to try to force feed him.

“Help! Help! Murder!” Jello twisted and writhed and wouldn’t hold still. Sebastian barked in a reproving tone and danced in place.

Finally Drew just gave up, and no Jello, person or snack, was actually harmed in the process. Panting and disheveled, the brothers noticed Kai still standing there.

A.E. Howard

Once upon a time there was a little girl who read a book and thought, one day, I’ll find another world. Many years later, after a near death experience at a traffic light, she passed a possum dying on the side of the road. She stopped, and with its dying breaths, the possum imparted a tale so wondrously strange, she drove home realizing the new world she’d been searching for was right there all along. So she embarked on a quest of mythic proportions, traveled far and wide to the farthest corners of this world to uncover its secrets. Now she’s bringing the story to you.

Between chasing chickens off the porch and raising her son, A.E. Howard tells tales of the three Realms, and the boy who changed it all.

Rave Reviews To The Beginning of a Spectacular Series!

“Great adult reading in the tradition of Madeleine L’Engle and her A Wrinkle in Time series and Austin Family Chronicles.” -Elizabeth Munzert, blogger

“Evokes memories of epic adventure tales and magic realms we pretend not to imagine as adults… The story makes us think about the reality of the world in the way a good Sci-Fi book does while providing comic relief though a self important, naked Opossum.” -Kate Tagai, blogger

I myself cannot WAIT to read this book. What drew me in was the beautiful cover! I love the design, and yes…I am guilty of judging a book by its cover at times. The story itself sounds amazing and so very different from what’s popular in the mainstream era of all things books. I love that…something new and genuine.

Be sure to visit A.E. Howard’s website and social media outlets to connect with this amazing breakout author who I know is capable of BIG things.
