Flex Appeal Mystical Sign Series

I just got the cover for my Taurus-themed novella Flex Appeal, part of the Mystical Sign Series from Venus Press. More details and a blurb will be coming in the next few weeks!!!

Haunt Me Taunt Me

Well, today starts another busy week with writing, edits, reviews, and research to do. After a full week of sunshine we're expected to have a lot of rain in the forecast, so that will actually make the muse happy. Often times she gets distracted when there's a lot of sunshine. I'd like to finish up one story today that I have in mind where to send.

I'll leave you with a blurb from my short and sexy story Haunt Me Taunt Me, which was a FAR Recommended Read! Gotta love the sexy cover done by Jinger Heaston :) YEAH BABY!!!

Beware of sultry strangers toting goodies.
In the house of a hundred mirrors, Jake finds his own Halloween treat in the form of some tempting eye candy, but the price to sample could cost him his life.

Private Dancer

Happy Saturday all! Family and I are going out today, want to check out the seafood & wine festival and get some samples ;) Today I received an acceptance from Venus Press for my story Royal Delicacy. It's always exciting to receive acceptances! Need to print out the contracts and mail off today.

I also see that Private Dancer is still doing well in the paranormal charts at Whiskey Creek Press Torrid. I love the cover by Jinger Heaston. It also made it in the P&E Poll as #10 for best cover :)

May Reviews gives Private Dancer ****ExcellentMs Cory has scored another hit. Private dancer has elements of mystery, intrigue, and romance. The characters are well developed and believable. The flow is smooth, and the story intriguing. Ms. Cory has written a romance with extra elements to keep you tied to the pages; there is tension and suspense, and mystery throughout the story. I would have liked the sex scenes to be a little longer, but considering the length of this story it was an excellent read.

Tainted

Pretty Poison never tasted so good

It's a beautiful Friday here, the sun is out and the skies are bright blue :) I'll be spending some time reworking my website in the coming week. So make sure to check back. I am of course keeping the gorgeous design, but need to change some pages around.

Scheduled for release next month is my very short erotic vampire story Tainted.
Pretty poison never tasted so good.

Good things!!!

I've always heard that good things come to those who wait, but the problem is, I'm not a patient person. I still wait though. So, maybe my time is coming :) I wrote down all my goals for 2006 and it's crazy. I'll have to push myself, but I know I can do it :) Even though 90% of it does incorporate the WORK side, I do have a few fun and personal goals. I'm definitely going to walk on the beach more often!

I also wrote a book about someone deciding that 2006 was a year for changes. If you haven't read Promises of Patchouli for the New Year...why not??? Pop over to http://www.oceansmistpress.com and grab yourself a copy :)

Night of the Nogitsune: Book 1 - Wanted

I just received my cover for Night of the Nogitsune: Book 1 - Wanted from cover artist Dyana Lunaris. This is the first book of a triology about a werefox. She caught the ambience just right. :)

Saucy Minx blurb

Minx is ready to try anything to catch the attention of the gorgeous regular at Pesto's Pizzeria, where she works part-time while attending Oregon State University. Thanks to her nighttime stint on a webzine she calls LOVE STINKS, a place she writes about people's reactions to scents, she decides to test how well aphrodisiacs work and adds them to the pizza sauce.

After a sinfully delicious bite of pizza, Holden finds himself unable to think about anything except Minx, the hot little dish who works at his favorite lunch stop. Between her fiery red hair and her luminous green eyes, he's completely smitten and can't seem to concentrate on his studies.

Things get spicy until Holden learns the truth on the webzine where Minx posts the details of their heated relationship.

Saucy Minx

Check out my hot new cover to Saucy Minx created by the infamous Jinger Heaston whom I love to death :) The woman can make magic happen!!!
This title will be out soon from Ocean's Mist Press in both print and ebook form!!! Gotta love that.

Torrid Teasers Vol. 2

I share this volume with Jane Leopold Quinn. My story is titled Snowbound. It's a sexy little number sure to keep you warm during the evening chill :)

Sorry to have been absent for so long...lots on the go. Working on stories, series, novels, edits, promos, networking, reviews, and well of course the whole family and free time(yeah right) thing. Hopefully I'll start getting organized soon! February seems to be flying by fast...eek!!!

Anyway, I will do my best to be here on a daily basis :) Or at least, 5x's a week ;)

Private Dancer

Private Dancer is now available for purchase from Whiskey Creek Press Torrid.

A Passion that lead to darkness...

Music was his life. Bitten and cursed by a vampire, Ryder watched his career end, along with is mortality. The curse would eventually destroy him, unless he found a willing bride. Desperate for a second chance, Ryder hunts for a woman with a strong appreciation for music. He never expected to find his muse, or fall in love.


Darkness that leads to passion...

Dancing was her life. Tired of working as a stripper at a seedy nightclub, Fallon responds to an ad in the newspaper for a private dancer. With her provocative moves, she lands the position, and quickly loses herself in the stranger's music. Haunting melodies laced with spells of seduction distort her perceptions and play with her emotions.


The path of darkness and passion unite...

In the name of love, one will have to make a sacrifice.


4 Cups from Coffee Time Romance for Private Dancer!!!http://www.coffeetimeromance.com/BookReviews/PrivateDancer.html

~This tale reminds me of my all time favorite tale, Beauty and the Beast. From Ryder's curse to Fallon's beauty, you will be drawn in from the beginning. I loved how you can feel Ryder's pain and understand Fallon's determination. Wonderfully written with steamy erotic sex scenes, this story makes you fall in love all over again. This is a fantastic tale that will definitely go on my keeper shelf.
