Welcome to the Nancy J. Cohen official website. I write paranormal romance novels and mysteries with a touch of humor. Here you'll find details about my books, reviews, recipes, contests, cool links, and more. As a Florida author, the tropical images represent the settings which populate my stories. So sit back, imagine yourself in a lounge chair on the beach sipping a rum punch, and enter my world.
WHAT'S NEW? I have a release date for Warrior Prince! This is the first title in my paranormal Drift Lords series based on Norse mythology. Think of it as Thor meets Lord of the Rings.
Book One in the Drift Lords Series
A galactic warrior joins forces with a sexy mythologist to
stop a dimensional rift from destroying Earth.
When mythology student Nira
Larsen accepts a job as tour guide for a mysterious stranger, she's drawn into
a nightmare reality where ancient myths come alive and legendary evils seek to
destroy her. To survive, she must awaken her dormant powers, but the only
person who can help is the man whose touch inflames her passion.
After a dimensional rift in the Bermuda Triangle cracks
open and an ancient enemy invades Earth, Zohar-leader of the galactic warriors
known as the Drift Lords-summons his troops. He doesn't count on a redheaded
spitfire getting in his way and capturing his heart. Nira has the power to defeat the enemy and to
enslave Zohar's soul. Can he trust her enough to accomplish his mission, or
will she lure him to his doom?

A Bad Hair Day Mystery
Weddings always make Marla Shore shed a tear of joy, and she's elated to attend her friend Jill's reception. Marla's own nuptials are weeks away, and she's busy following her frenetic to-do list. Her plans go awry when she discovers Jill's matron of honor dead under the cake table, a knife embedded in her chest. Lots of folks aren't sorry to see Torrie go, especially since the bride's sister knew their deepest secrets. But when suspicion falls upon Jill, Marla wonders if her dear friend is truly innocent. She'd better untangle the snarl of suspects and iron out the clues before the killer highlights her as the next victim.
"Smart, edgy dialogue and an intriguing cast of characters lift Cohen's 10th Bad Hair Day mystery featuring South Florida hairstylist Marla Shore. Once again, Marla shows she's as adept at investigating murder as she is managing her hair salon." --Publishers WeeklyView the Trailer
