Prescription drugs are so common in the future they’re called
supplements, and dispensed at meals like side dishes. Just like everyone
else, Luna takes pills to curb her appetite, increase her memory, focus
her concentration, improve her mood, even suppress her sex drive.
By her sophomore year in college, however, she’s beginning to wonder what life is like outside this drug-induced state. The perfect opportunity to break out of the mire comes when she sees a picture of a medallion from the 5th century. She’s not sure where she’s seen it, but she hopes once her mind is clear, she will find the artifact.
When she stops taking supplements, she discovers food tastes delicious, her friend Sal is suddenly sexy, and the search for the lost medallion turns into a real adventure.
Hopefully, all her new habits don’t get her killed.

After working for fifteen years as a cafeteria manager in an
elementary school, Marsha Cornelius turned in her non-skid shoes for a bathrobe
and slippers. She now works at home, writing novels, acting out scenes with her
cats, and occasionally running a Swiffer across dusty surfaces.
Her debut novel, H10N1, a thriller about a flu
pandemic gone awry, received 5 stars from Midwest Book Review.
The Ups and Downs of Being
Dead, a story about a man who chooses to have his body
cryonically-frozen rather than face death, received the Awesome Indie Award.
The AIA medallion was also awarded to her
third novel, Losing It All, a drama that follows a homeless man as he
helps a mother and her two small children get off the streets. Losing It All
also received the BRAG Medallion.
Habits Kick Back, her
latest novel, tells the story of a college girl who decides to kick her drug
habit, only it isn’t what you think. She wants to stop taking all the pills
that control her weight, help her concentrate, keep her awake to study, improve
her mood, and even suppress her sexual appetite.
Originally from Indiana, Cornelius lives
in the countryside north of Atlanta with her husband and two molly-coddled cats
who refuse to wear socks and dust the furniture. Habits Kick Back http://ow.ly/ACrDB (US) http://ow.ly/ACrSp (UK)
