J.C. Corry’s first childhood memory was peering through rose-tinted stained glass in a Battersea church in London, England, colouring a passion for historical fiction emboldened by his father’s hole-ridden Normandy helmet that sits above his writing desk. An army brat, he lived in ten homes by the age of ten in Canada, England and Australia, studied literature (where his love for Chaucer began) and film, shot and produced television documentaries about artists including Jack Shadbolt and Nicholas Mosley, and lives in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

He is a member of the Historical Writers’ Association, Historical Novel Society, Writer’s Union of Canada and the Federation of BC Writers, and his novel The Storyteller’s War: Geoffrey Chaucer Reluctant Spy is published by Black Rose Writing. Book two in the series, The Storyteller’s Reputation: Geoffrey Chaucer, Reluctant Spy, is set for a 2026 release.
