About Me

New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author Cheyenne McCray has a passion for hot romance and a happily-ever-after, but always with a twist. Among other accolades, Chey has won the prestigious Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Award for "Best Erotic Romance of the Year."
Chey penned her first poem in kindergarten, and has been writing ever since she can remember. She always knew one day she would write novels, hoping her readers would get lost in the worlds she created, as she did in her favorites.
Now, she gets to write full time and loves what she does. For St. Martin's Press, she writes the USA Today Bestselling "Magic" series, which includes Forbidden Magic and Seduced by Magic, Wicked Magic, Shadow Magic April 2008, and Dark Magic, Fall 2008; she also writes contemporary erotic romantic suspense, including the USA Today bestselling high-octane thrillers, Moving Target and Chosen Prey. She's married to her college sweetheart, has three sons, three dogs, a messy house, and she will do anything to get out of cleaning, which may be why she writes so much.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Readers, friends, fellow authors, and Matt Damon

Music:

Lots! I love alternative rock as well as country music, and I write to soundtracks like 300, the three Bourne movies, The Kingdom, Alias, LOTR, Gladiator, The Mummy I & II, and lots more.

Movies:

I'm in love with the three Bourne movies, Bourne Identity, Bourne Supremacy, and Bourne Ultimatum. I love all of the Lord of the Rings Movies, Gladiator, all of the Harry Potter movies, all of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, pretty much anything Will Smith is in and Matt Damon. I love action/adventure movies and futuristic/fantasy. Believe it or not, I write romance but I don't watch chick flicks or romance movies. I love to write and read it, but I'd rather see a good action/adventure movie any day.

Television:

I don't watch any TV. Not even the news. I rely on my dh to tell me if anything major comes up. I just have no interest in TV. I've never seen an episode of "Charmed," yet I have a quote where New York Times Bestselling author Lynsay Sands compares my "Magic" series to a cross between Charmed and Kim Harrison's witch series, with a heavy dose of erotic romance on top. LOL Considering I adore Kim's books, that was a HUGE compliment.
