MEET COREY

Hey, I’m Corey.

I write queer stories about love, messy relationships, complicated people, and the secrets we probably should’ve kept to ourselves.

Some of my stories will make you laugh. Others might break your heart. But at the center of each one is something we can all relate to: the desire to love, to belong, and to be seen for who we really are.

Whether it’s romance, mystery, or something a little darker, I believe queer stories deserve to be told in all their beautiful, complicated forms.

So get comfortable and stay awhile. There’s always another story waiting.

A Boyfriend for Christmas

★★★★★

Wrapped in a warm blanket

“First off, I hope to read MORE about Noah and Eli!!! This was my first read by Corey Michaels and I hope will not be the last. I needed this YA romance right now, before the holiday season and it did not disappoint. There are mentions to feel-good Hallmark movies and that is what this story did for me. It wrapped me in a warm blanket on a cold day and made me feel much better. Please continue their story Corey”
