Book Cover & Preview Text
Once upon a time in the backwoods of Georgia in a place called Dogwood Forest, there lived a mother raccoon and her son Cory. He was the most popular of all the creatures that lived there Cory had a friend named Trent who was an orphan and lived on the edge of danger.
Trent's parents died in a flood some time ago. Being in need of shelter, he unwisely moved into what he thought was an abandoned den. Unfortunately, it was Willie Badger's home. Willie didn't abandon his home; he only left to gather supplies for the winter. He would be back soon! One afternoon, Trent looked out of the den to welcome the new day. "I'll go over to Cory's house," he thought. He walked through the forest for about two miles and came upon a big oak tree surrounded by a pretty white fence. This was the Raccoon's residence.
The gate was open, so he walked in and knocked on the door. "Good morning Mrs. Raccoon, can Cory come out to play?" said Trent. Before Mrs. Raccoon could respond, Cory was at the door. "Mom, can I go out to play?" Cory shouted. Mrs. Raccoon paused for a minute and said, "Only, if you stay inside the gate." "Okay mom," Cory replied. Whenever Cory went outdoors, Mrs. Raccoon always became nervous because he had wandered off before and had gotten lost.

About the Author
Edward Stoglin
Born Ed Stoglin May24th in Tempe, Arizona. I was known as the kid that was curious as a raccoon. I have always been fascinated with the Animal Kingdom. Growing up, I was often seen in pursuit of insects, or slow moving animal. I studied, and pattern myself after several of these wonderful creatures. A poster was created showcasing their magnificent talents.
In 1997,after moving to Georgia, I met Torrie Crawford,Sr.. while working at Edy's Grand Ice Cream Company. I shared with him the project that I was working on called "Cory The Rebellious Raccoon." We became friends and eventually partners. Several years later we met John Coleman,another partner.....and the rest is history.
So I, along with my partners, decided that I should write a book for children about "Lessons In Disobedience."
Torrie Crawford,Sr.
As a co-writer of "The Adventures Of Cory," I feel honored to be working with Ed Stoglin
and John Coleman.
This experience takes me back to when I was growing up as a child. I was always
inquisitive, therefore I was constantly into something. I can remember when I fell out of a
tree that my grandfather told me not to climb in the first place. Cory is the character that
is in every one of us today.
John C. Coleman, Jr.
From day one I saw the potential in this project. My concern was and still is to introduce
Cory and his beliefs,his morals, and his concepts to children and parents both nationally
and internationally. Sales and marketing has always been my passion.
I met Torrie and Ed several years ago through this project. Not only are we business partners but we are also very good friends. I truly believe in what "Cory" is all about.
