ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hi! I’m Corey. For the past ten years, I have worked as a writer, author, copy editor, ghostwriter, and proofreader. And thanks to the kindness of my awesome readers, the journey continues!

I’ve been writing books since I was a child — literally. But the real start to my author adventure was a young adult fantasy novel called The Fallen Odyssey, originally released all the way back in 2013. Since then, my catalog has expanded to several more books in the Fallen series, a science fiction novel, a historical fiction novel, and a growing selection of short stories.

On this website, you’ll find links to all my fiction, a blog, a shop, and links to everywhere you can find me online.

Thanks for visiting, and happy reading!

Rust on the Allegheny is now an IPPY Award winner

Set in the Oil Region of western Pennsylvania, Rust on the Allegheny: A Novel follows multiple generations of the MacCulloch family, tracking their inexorable (and at times dysfunctional) connections to one another and their declining industrial hometown of Latonia City, PA. And now, the historical fiction novel is an award winner.

A family curse. A legendary jazz musician. And hope for the future.

Writing Update

In my ongoing effort to not become one of those authors who starts a book series and never finishes it, I’ve kept my nose to the grindstone recently, focusing on the actual writing part of my author journey. But I thought I’d drop a few quick lines here on the blog to give an update on what I’ve been up to.
