Happy Holidays to all!!!

It's Christmas Eve and you bet I'm excited - but I know it can't match my son's excitement, lol. It's been a very busy few days - hubby's bday was on Friday, so I worked my butt off between decorating, baking, and running around getting those last minute things. Yesterday we spent the day at the coast, visiting my dad, and enjoying the gorgeous sunny day! I didn't even need a coat :) The ocean always fuels me, especially if I'm down or feeling drained - and it did just that. I needed to be there, to watch the waves and recharge.

This is a tough holiday for me, my first Christmas without my mom, and I'm not exactly sure how it's going to go. All I can do is hope that she is with me in spirit, because my best memories of Christmas all include her. I miss her very much.

So before I get too sentimental here, take a look at these two hunky gifts I have for you:







Not bad choices for gifts, eh? I didn't think I could do too wrong in that department - you all have such fine taste in men :)

I wanted to also say a big thank you to everyone who comes and visits regularly. It's always a pleasure to hear from you, and brings a smile to my face. It's been a tough year for me personally and there are many times I've wanted to hide away, but you've shown me such kindness and love that it's made my healing easier. So thank you. I'm sending out big warm fuzzies, hugs, and of course CONFETTI!!!!!!

Oh, I wanted to share a fantastic review from TwoLips Reviews for Blame the Rain!
5 Lips for Blame the Rain
Blame the Rain is a story that makes fairy tales come alive once again and teaches us lessons about trusting in fate and change rather than fearing them. Blame the Rain will stand as one of author Ann Cory's absolute bests. A classic tale that gives us all hope for a better life, Blame the Rain is an absolute not-to-miss read.
~Reviewer Frost



Don't forget that there is still time to enter my blog contest to win a book thong and a copy of either Seducing Santa or Holiday Voices Digest. All you need to do is post on this week's or last week's blog post to be entered. Winner will be posted January 1st or second. You know of course there will be a new contest for January as well ;)

I hope everyone has a very merry Christmas - if you celebrate it.

Happy Friday and boy what a party!!!

Well I'm late posting here because the last two days have been a blur and I was without power for 13 hours. The Stuff Your eStocking event at The Story Board was a HUGE success and the most fun I've had in a long time. Thanks to everyone who participated and was able to join in the fun - many prizes were given away and my ebook wish list has grown considerably!!! It's all good, though - I love to read *BG*

Yesterday it started out with a light drizzle, but by 5:00pm it was a windy and the rain was coming down hard. I started dinner early, and it was a good thing considering we lost power soon after. For several hours it was actually nice - the room aglow in candlelight and so dang peaceful. Hubby and I cracked open a bottle of wine and my son happily played on his Nintendo DS which has a lit screen. Around ten I was getting a little restless, though. It's one thing to not want to go on the computer, but it's another thing entirely when you want to but can't, lol. I hoped the power would start back up before I went to bed, but sadly it was out all night and was restored a little before 7am. Just in time for hubby to get going to work and just a little too late after the schools had been declared closed for the day.
So my son got an unexpected day off - sigh. Just what he needs with a 2 week Christmas vacation coming up soon.

Anyhow, today has just been chaos from the getgo and I'm not feeling too good. Can you really party too hard online? I must be old if I feel hungover and disjointed after a rocking cyber party, LOL. Ah well, it was totally worth it and I can't wait for the next one!! I am a glutton for punishment, what can I say? I mean - I only had one of each of these cyber drinks, come on? Can I be that much of a lightweight?



So let's see - I have a feeling some winners would like to be announced. I don't know why, you just get some prizes is all ;) lol. Okay, well the blog winner of a book thong and a copy of one of my holiday books is ABOOKWORM!!! Please email me at anncory_erotica@yahoo.com with BLOG WIN in the subject line and which holiday book you'd like: Holiday Voices Digest or Seducing Santa!! CONGRATS!!!

The second part of the blog contest starts today with this post - just post sometime between now and the 31st and you're eligible for a handcrafted book thong and a copy of one of my holiday books. Tis the season of giving :)



I actually have part of my Christmas shopping done - but still more to do, and hubby's bday is on Friday - so I still have much to do. I swear the weeks are cruising by even faster than usual. Don't you agree?? I know, it feels that way every years, but I don't know - it just feels even more swifter than normal.

I just received my first edits for my Ellora's Cave novella Next Floor Naughty so that is THE project for the next couple of days. My only fun this weekend will be going to the zoo where they set up some incredible lights and it all looks so pretty. I haven't been in ages, so I'm really looking forward to it! If you're curious, here is the link to the event! ZOOLIGHTS. I soooo can't wait to ride the train :)

Let's see, what else is new. Blame the Rain is currently on the Bestseller list at My Bookstore and More.
I received a very nice review from RRT Erotic Reviews as well:
One incredible night holds the possibility of changing lives in BLAME THE RAIN. Maxwell’s wealth attracts mostly shallow women only interested in his money, but a few minutes with Sable convinces him that she is just the kind of woman he was beginning to think he’d never find. Sable has had a very rough time of it and is not an optimistic person, but something about Maxwell makes her think about changing her attitude. The attraction between them is immediate, and irresistible, and the sex scenes are both hot and emotional. An engaging short story, be sure to look for BLAME THE RAIN.
~Reviewer Jennifer Bishop

You know that nice review made my day *BG*



Since you've been so patient, I'll go ahead an announce the winner of name Mr. Abs!!! lol. It was really tough because you all came up with some excellent suggestions! I thought about my character, how he acted and his personality, and came up with the feeling that Cherie J's suggestion of long black hair and silver eyes, named Saber suited him best. So Cherie J - email me at anncory_erotica@yahoo.com with SABER in the subject line and your snail mail addy so I can send your winning gifts! Congrats :)

Question of the week: What is the naughtiest thing you did all year? Or were you just plain nice! Maybe someone naughty will get a gift, or maybe I'll pick from the nice list.



I'm off to bake an apple pie and get back to my edits. Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! *tossing confetti*

Join us at The Story Board

Last weekend we went and watched Santa Clause 3 - The Escape Clause. You know, I loved the first one very much and still do. It's on my top list of movies to watch over the holidays, along with A Christmas Story, Home Alone, Elf, It's a Wonderful Life, Serendipity, Love Actually, and the Grinch(cartoon version). The second one was okay, had its moments, but the 3rd one *sigh* had less laughs than ever. Still, it's become a tradition for us to watch them, so we did.

I was looking at what else is coming out that I'd like to see. Blood Diamonds looks good, The Holiday looks charming - I'm a HUGE Kate Winslet fan, and both my son and I are looking forward to Eragon as we both enjoyed the book immensely. I think this year has been the least exciting for movies in quite some time. In previous years there have been big movies out like Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter, LOTR, and King Kong. What happened?



I wanted to share 2 of my most recent reviews, both from TwoLipsReviews!

5 Lips for Under a Warlock's Spell
Under A Warlock's Spell is another masterful tale from that mistress of the imagination without boundaries, Ann Cory. I was captivated as always from the first page, and any reader who enjoys medieval history, fantasy, tales of magic, or just wonderfully enticing story-telling, will treasure this special tale. Ms. Cory demonstrates especial talent in this story in setting, characterization, and the redeeming power of enduring love, in addition to the imaginative flights of fancy in which she and we readers revel throughout the tale. Readers, hesitate not to acquire Under A Warlock's Spell; it has definitely earned its place on my keeper and re-reader shelf! ~Reviewer Frost



5 Lips for Drinyian
Driniyan, as always, is a masterpiece from the marvelous Ann Cory, and I think this has become already one of my personal favorites. Ms. Cory has an incredible imagination which she doesn't hesitate to apply, and this blend of Gothic, medieval, and modern with touches of BDSM and love lost, found, and lost again will surely appeal to any reader seeking a touching and revealing story. ~Reviewer Frost



Join me December 14th for my author day at the Midnight Social group where I'll be posting excerpts from all my Midnight Showcase titles: Bard of Bristol, Holiday Voices, Deities of Desire, and Summer Heat 3!



My Midnight Romp Bard of Bristol is currently #1 on the hightest rated and read for Midnight Showcase at Fictionwise, which was nice to read.

Question of the Week:
The pic below is a glimpse of a character I'm writing about. What I'm missing are a few key components and I wondered if you would help me. Based on your suggestions, I will choose 1 and that person will win a handcrafted book thong and an Ann Cory butterfly magnet. What I need is: hair color, hair length, eye color, and a sexy first name. I will post the winner on my next blog update. Here's my source of inspiration:


My workouts have been going by the wayside, and I'm not really proud of that, but I'm finding it hard to fit in during my day, or at least this month. The one class I really enjoyed lasts an hour and a half and I found it was just too much time. So I've been walking on the treadmill and listening to tunes. I wish I could get motivated to exercise lol. Anyone have any tips on how to do that? Toss them my way!

I suppose I should get going. I have an edit to finish up, a story to work on, and hopefully I'll find the motivation to get our tree put up! Er, that counts as exercise, doesn't it? lol Everyone have a fabulous weekend!

Happy First of December!!

Happy 1st of December everyone!

I wanted to quickly announce the winner of the book thong - so congratulations to AMANDA ANN - please email me at anncory_erotica@yahoo.com with BLOG WIN and your snail mail addy!

ALSO - another winner announcement is CATHY with her ab constellation name for the sexy hunk. Cathy, email me at anncory_erotica@yahoo.com with STAR in the subject line and I'll send you either a gift certificate or book of your choice!

A beautiful book thong




and a copy of one of my holiday ebooks!





While we're on the subject of contests, my December Focus on Me contest is now up! Click Here to check it out! I mean really, who doesn't like to win stuff?

Question of the week: How many candy canes and what flavor? Now think about that question real good - there's only one place to hang candy canes on this hot hunk ;)



I received 2 new reviews this week that I'm very excited about!

Sensual Reads and Reviews had this to say about Melting Iron
Ann Cory has written a wonderful story on how duty can ruin you, and Love can save you. I truly love the setting in this story. I am always looking for a great romance the takes me back in time. If you like times travel Romance Novels this is one you’re sure to enjoy.

Fallen Angel Reviews gives 4 Angels to Dressing the Empress
Dressing The Empress is a quick read offering an erotic spin on the classic fairy tale. With an Empress that is so driven and obsessed with her appearance, readers will enjoy the humor that Gustav has at her expense. Ann Cory did a nice job at bringing the Emperor’s New Clothes into the adult world of erotic fantasy in the form of Dressing The Empress.

This weekend our new couch will be delivered and we are totally stoked about it! I haven't been able to sit with my hubby for over a year now, instead we've sat in separate chairs and I've missed cuddle time. It's a reclining couch too, so we're going to be real comfortable watching movies in front of the fireplace :) We're also hoping to go watch Santa Clause 3 in theaters. I heard it isn't very good - but I've seen the other 2 on the big screen, so it's become somewhat of a tradition.

Okay, today is finishing up edits! Everyone have a fabulous weekend!

When all else fails - Blame the Rain

Hi to everyone, hope you had a wonderful and relaxing Turkey Day. The family was home all 4 days and that meant no work got done *sigh* so this week I'm scrambling around like a turkey with its head cut off, trying to get caught up.




What have you guys been up to?

I saw the movie Stranger Than Fiction and really enjoyed it. I like Will Ferrell, and thought he was fantastic in his role.






My newest release, Blame the Rain is available now from Samhain Publishing!


Genre: Contemporary Romance, Red Hots!
ISBN: 1-59998-172-6
Price: $2.50
Length: Short Story
Publication Date: November 28th, 2006
Cover art by Vanessa Hawthorne

Blurb:

Love—as unpredictable as the weather

When Sable Morrison drives into the back end of handsome Maxwell Benning’s new car, she is certain things will only get worse. Little has gone right in her life lately, and the last thing she needs is a new distraction.

Well-to-do Maxwell finds himself enamored over the beautiful stranger and treats her to an evening where inhibitions are left behind. He strongly believes fate had a hand in their accidental meeting, and does everything he can to make the night last.

While Sable is busy placing blame on herself for the evening’s events, Maxwell prefers to blame the rain.

Also, I'm so totally stoked to announce that I've just received my print copies of Melting Iron! I can officially lick the hot cover model's abs :) The book can be purchased at MBAM, Amazon.com, Barnes & Nobel, and even Walmart!!





We got our first snow of the year 2 days ago and thankfully almost all traces of it are gone. I'm not a snow girl. I repeat NOT A SNOW GIRL. I know my Canadian hubby is used to it, but I'm not. My hope is that it doesn't return. I'm very comfortable having a green Christmas.

Question of the week:
What special gift would you ask for from our hunky Santa below? A)a sexy toy B) Sexy lingerie C) Satin sheets D) a week's worth of breakfasts/lunches/and dinners in bed E) A trip to anywhere as long as he's naked F) Other





Edit Confessional:
I've been in the land of edits as of late - and still have more to do *gulp*. I have issues with edits and have to admit they aren't my favorite thing. I know they are a ncecessary evil, but usually when I'm through with a story - that's it. Unless I'm writing the sequel or a trilogy, I don't like getting back into the headspace of my characters. It's terrible, I probably shouldn't admit it - but it's very true.

I'm also polishing up my story Sex Marks the Spot which will be part of the A Pirate's Treasure Anthology coming in January from Mardi Gras Publishing, first as an ebook, then in print. The authors in the anthology include:
Cara North, Theresa Wayne, Jaden Sinclair, and of course - me :) If you'd like to see the mini trailer, click Here or if you aren't a fan of MySpace, you can also click Here

So, a glowing review of Egyptian Cotton came in yesterday from The Romance Studio and left me with big smiles :)
4 Hearts for Egyptian Cotton
This is a fascinating tale that leaves the reader with only one complaint that being that they want more. Hopefully there will be more books like this in the future. Egyptian Cotton by Ann Cory is a sexy tale filled with action and passion that takes the reader on an adventure into an exotic world of shape-shifters.

Drinyian, November Newsletter, and blog contests

Now available: Drinyian by Ann Cory




Blurb:
Artist Jaden has always been fascinated with drawing portraits of Gods. Their power, masculinity, and history fuel her muse. One God in particular, Drinyian, the God of seduction, captures her fancy. When she sketches his picture with such realism, Jaden swears she can feel him. Darkness comes and she awakens in a palace with Drinyian himself asking her to dance.

Drinyian has been waiting years for Jaden to return, and asks her to be his bride. He promises her a life of pleasure and happiness, in the hope that someday she will remember they shared a lifetime before. Jaden must choose between a world she was once part of but has forgotten, and a world she would soon forget.

Next Floor Naughty

Yep, that's right - you read the header correctly Next Floor Naughty, which is the new title to my novella recently accepted by Ellora's Cave. I just sent off the signed contract and let me tell you - it feels good! *BG* I can't wait to tell you all about the book, but not yet. OH come on - you KNOW I am a tease ;)



In case you can't get enough of me, there's a fabulous interview over at Two Lips Reviews where I am featured for the month of November! I promise I didn't pay them and I was even on my best behavior. Quite a feat, I know.



I'm almost finished with getting my newsletter together, so expect that to be out sometime next week. Currently my newest contest is up where you can win a Butterfly Kisses Holiday Goodie bag filled with all kinds of holiday goodies :) For all the important information, click Here



New News from Moonglade Elite Authors - we have a brand new author with us :) Doreen Orsini!! I think she's the bee's knees. There's no doubt that she fits right in with the rest of us and we're thrilled to have her! I hope you'll pop over and say hi to her, help make her feel welcome.

I have a feeling you'd like to know who won last week's mini blog contest. Should I tell you now, or make you wait? Okay, okay, I hear ya - I'll wait.
LOL! Just kidding. The winners are .... IRISHEYEZ and LADYVAMPIRE2U!! Congrats to you both :) To receive your copies of Spoiled Candy please email me at anncory_erotica@yahoo.com with BLOG WIN in the subject line.

Finally there are some movies out for the whole family. I definitely want to see Flushed Away and I'm going to have to see Santa Clause 3. I read the reviews, but I've seen the other two and so I have to see this one. It's sort of a tradition. I'd also like to see The Prestige, but may have to wait for it to come out on video. I also want to see A Good Year with Russell Crowe - hot momma! I love to see him smile :) He looks very sweet on the trailers. And Stranger Than Fiction looks funny too. It seems November/December are the times to go see movies now and not during the summer. Anyone seen Borat? It's been getting a lot of hype and great reviews. I must say my curiosity is piqued. Anyhow, I think this weekend we'll see Flushed Away.



Question of the week: If you had to, and I know this is very hard to imagine, but if you had to spend a week with the guy below - where would you want to go?
A)Bahamas B)Any beach will do C)Vacation? Forget about it - he's going to be chained to the bed D)Somewhere in Europe E)My own personal Garden of Eden F)A deserted island, forever and ever G)A luxurious cabin in the woods H)Somewhere no one will ever find us I)Other - but you have to say where ;)

Here's a great holiday joke that i just had to share:

A woman goes into a tattoo parlor and tells the tattoo artist that she wants a tattoo of a turkey on her right thigh, right up just below her bikini line. She also wants him to put Happy Thanksgiving under the turkey. So the guy does it and it comes out looking real good.

The woman then instructs him to put a Santa Clause with Merry Christmas up on her left thigh. So the guy does it and it comes out looking good too.

As the woman is getting dressed to leave, the tattoo artist says, If you do not mind, could you tell me why you had me put such unusual tattoos on your thighs?

She said, I am sick and tired of my husband complaining all the time that there is nothing good to eat between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

*snicker snicker* It's a good one, don't you think?



You know, since the holidays are coming up, I find myself in a very giving mood. I'm going to do another blog contest where you can win yourself a book thong!

So what have I been up to? Besides working on my newsletter, I've also been doing a lot of edits, a little writing, and redecorating the house. My edits usually come at the same time, and last week was no exception. I have a love/hate relationship with edits - so I usually come away with a few less strands of hair, lol.

It's been raining a lot here. Very gray, and somewhat cold in the mornings. Speaking of rain, my next book to come out is Blame the Rain, from Samhain. It's a shortie with a release date of November 28th. For a little more about it and an excerpt, go ahead and click Here.
