Sent My First Newsletter

by Cori Posted on October 1, 2015

I just mailed out my first newsletter! If you’re a subscriber already, thank you! It ought to be in your inbox right now.

If you’re not a subscriber you can take a peek of it right here or… even better, sign up to receive my newsletters in your inbox (because c’mon, I’m not going to make these announcements every time I send one out :-p).

I won’t be popping in your inbox enough to be annoying, just when I have something exciting to share or swag to give away. You won’t regret it…

Staying Under Glass

by Cori Posted on September 25, 2015

[wppb progress=19]

That’s what my progress toward my goal of writing 90 hours of erotica looks like >_< That’s the bad news.

But there is so much more good news!

First of all, I’ve been making slow but steady progress on various writing projects since I began writing under glass. This. Is. Awesome. Consistency is something I struggle with, as is finding time to write. Writing Under Glass is helping me with both of those things. Yay!

I’ve written for about 16 hours so far this month (specifically for Cori Vidae stuff, things done under my real name don’t count) and I have one full story and most of a second one drafted. I also have people talking about being under glass on Twitter and sending me prompts via email.

Win. Win. Win.

Because the story I’m currently working on (the kinky post-apocalyptic one tentatively titled The Last Men in the World) has gone from being a short story to a novella I’m unlikely to finish writing stories to go with all the prompts I received. I’m not okay with that. Especially since one of them was accompanied with a charitable donation.

So I’ve decided to stay ‘Under Glass’ in perpetuity.

My plan right now is to work my way through the three remaining prompts I have received for my ‘She’s on the Bottom‘ theme as well as any prompts that show up in my inbox before the end of the month (hint, hint).

Once I’ve produced all those stories I’ll share some of the results on here for everyone to enjoy, and get the rest ready to be sponsored or submitted to publishers. Simultaneously, we’ll pick another theme and I’ll start accepting prompts and writing to it.

Prompts I still have to write for this theme (in no particular order):

Pony play and fairies (prompt from TJ)

: Alexa’s Prompt

I’m excited. Are you excited? It’s okay, I’m excited enough for both of us 😉

Luminous Dreams

by Cori Posted on September 23, 2015

It is out and it is freaking beautiful!

Relax, close your eyes… and dream.

Eight tales, eight sensual dreams of enchantment, wanderlust and lovers’ longings, of searching and finding; these dreams tell of birds of fire, curses that lie like bridges between night and day, and hunger for sweet seduction.

Eight never before published stories by Alexa Piper:

Phoenix and Styx
Flesh and myth tumble together, strangers in a world too small to hold them. Can they find balance long enough to seek their pleasure, or are they destined to combust?

Fortune’s Song
Eliron is a recluse with a bad reputation, Aurora is a fortune teller’s daughter turned nomad. Together, they sing harmonies to make harps blush, but their real song, their true song, may just be something darker and deeper.

Candy and the Witch
When Gretel finds a candy trail in the woods leading to succulent desires, she doesn’t walk blindly into its trap—she lays one of her own.

The Night Train: Story of a Passage
As Taite boards the night train, she expects a less-than-satisfactory nap, not a steamy encounter with mystical strangers and a choice that could change the very course of her life.

I Will Feed You Honey
An ancient muse trapped within a Tarot card, a dancer trapped just outside the bright lights of center stage—they could be each other’s salvation . . . or prison. But before that question is answered, Marina will have to figure out if the sexy dreams she’s been having of a masked man are fantasy inspired by the Tarot card that manages to slip between her sheets . . . or real.

The Acorn Princess
Alice enters the woods to get away from the world, what she discovers awakens earthy desires she didn’t even know dwelled within her.

Nocturnal Conquests
Ana never noticed them, but they’ve been watching her, waiting, hungering for her. When the three of them finally meet the ending is inevitable—consume and be consumed—or is it?

A Raven by Day
Sofia knows sunlight only through a raven’s eyes and hasn’t much use for her nocturnal, human body until she meets Hayden, whose hands work her flesh with the same awe and reverence as his metal and clockwork creations. But can Hayden keep the raven in his heart and the woman in his bed, or will they both fly away?

ALEXA PIPER enjoys writing, romance, and the paranormal. This said, becoming a paranormal romance writer seemed perfectly reasonable, but for Alexa, it is more than that; it’s fun. Alexa’s work has appeared in the Red Moon Romance anthology Demons, Imps, and Incubi and The Naughty List. Luminous Dreams is Alexa’s first collection, and she hopes her readers will have as much fun reading it as she had writing it. Check out Alexa’s online home (alexapiper.com) for all things related to her writing and be sure to follow her on Twitter @prowlingpiper.

Naughty Stories — Makin’ a List

by Cori Posted on September 20, 2015

She’s makin’ a list, and checkin’ it twice…

Actually, I already made the list but after checking it a second time I realized there was a little room to add a couple more names… or in this case titles.

Red Moon Romance is going to be releasing a sexy Christmas title in the not-so-distant future, but we’ve got a little bit of time before the manuscript needs to be completed, and some open spaces on the table of contents.

If you’ve got a winter holiday themed romance or erotica story (reprints welcome!) 3,000 – 20,000 words long I’d love to consider it.

Please send your submissions to me as an attachment (.rtf, .doc or .docx) at corividae@gmail.com before October 15th.

This anthology pays a pro-rata share of 40% net profit on anthology sales distributed among the contributing authors based on story word-count plus a trade paperback copy of the anthology. No advance.

I really hope to hear from you!

Skye Falling is an ARe Bestseller!

by Cori Posted on September 18, 2015

Skye Falling is an ARe Bestseller!

There’s a bottle of my favourite champagne sitting in our fridge. It’s been in the fridge for quite a while now… my partner bought it for me but since we have a surplus of wine around here these days (I KNOW! How does that happen?) the champagne has been relegated to ‘For a special occasion’ status. Well, guess what I’m cracking open tonight? Oh hell yeah!

Whoot!

Congratulations Anna, I’m super stoked for you!

Skye Falling

Skye, a Fae-shapeshifter halfing, could die if she doesn’t find out how to wake her dormant wolf, so mere rumors of the Wolf King’s return are enough to convince her to sneak through the portal between Faerie and Chicago in search of his aid. But the dizzyingly bright lights and sounds of the human realm are too tempting to ignore. So is the sexy shapeshifter wolf intent on capturing her—the one who stirs her sleeping wolf just long enough to bind the handsome stranger in a mate-bond.

Lake is willing to do anything to protect the Wolf King, a man he also calls friend. So when he receives word that a Fae princess has slipped into Chicago, he suspects a plot to assassinate the Wolf King. He’s certain capturing her will be as easy as locating her—that was his first mistake. Not only is his wolf a little too interested in Skye, but the wolf accepts her mate-bond without any say-so from him. As he unravels the truth surrounding the smart-mouthed princess and whether she’s hunting his friend or being hunted by someone else, Lake’s mission changes: protect Skye at all costs. And keep her for himself.
