About

corey pemberton authorI’m a freelance copywriter and storyteller who finally worked up the courage to share something I wrote. I’ve been writing in my spare time for over 10 years now, filling up flash drives and desk drawers with short stories, novels, and plenty of bits and pieces.

The journey has just begun, but it’s already been an unforgettable ride!

I’ve always been drawn to dark, character-driven fiction where the real and the fantastic collide. This love is reflected in the speculative stories I write. Whether it’s fantasy, sci-fi, horror, or all of the above, I’m obsessed with the hero’s journey and the struggle between good and evil.

Some of my favorite authors are Stephen King, J.R.R. Tolkien, Neil Gaiman, Robert E. Howard, Chuck Palahniuk, and F. Scott Fitzgerald.

When I’m not pounding my keyboard, I’m reading, doing something outdoors, or sweating my butt off at Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I live and work in Austin, Texas with my beautiful wife, Alejandra. And I appreciate your support more than you know.

People, Places, and Things of Interest

Doing my part to scour the big, bad internet and find the gems. These will mostly be about reading, writing, music, travel, and outdoor adventures. Or maybe I’ll just post funny cat pictures!
