According to a study from the Society for Consumer Psychology poorly wrapped gifts make people happier. I knew that. That’s why all my gift look like an angry chimpanzee with no thumbs wrapped them. I have known for years how to properly wrap gifts. Just so you know, I have been trying real hard not to say “I know how to make people happy”. It sounds a bit cheeky. Anywhooo…. apparently a gift that is perfectly wrapped sets our brains to expect a super great gift, and if its not super great, we are disappointed. If a person gets a poorly wrapped gift their expectations are low, so they are easily impressed with whatever is in the ugly package. HA! So my advise to you guys this Christmas… wrap em ugly!

Outcasts of Earth (Outcast Marines Book 1)
by James David Victor
Genre: Science Fiction | Teen & Young Adult
FREE for a limited time
Criminals. Murderers. Thieves. That’s what makes the Outcast Marines special. And expendable.
A Military Science Fiction adventure from #1 Bestselling author James David Victor
The Outcast Marines are the worst of the worst. If you’re conscripted, you will likely spend the rest of your days going on desperate missions that no one else can, or will, do. That’s an option Solomon, Jezzie, Malady, and the other Outcasts gladly took, though, because the alternative was certain death on a remote prison moon. And it’s a good thing too, because sometimes it takes some truly bad guys to save the day.
Outcasts of Earth is the first book in the Outcast Marines series. If you like science fiction with “heroes” who are anything but, the Outcast Marines will suck you into their battle to save humanity, from itself and the rest of the galaxy.
