And even before that, when he first began writing stories in grade school, he’s been fascinated with histories and mysteries. Whether Norse mythology, the Dark Ages, or the conquests of great leaders, Cory’s been that kid who wants to know what’s shaped our world and write about it. Especially the great unsolved mysteries.

He’s also a songwriter and guitarist, and - no surprise - many of his songs explore the same topics he writes about - the great mysteries of our crazy world. Devil in the Countryside is his second novel and he’s hard at work on its sequel.
