By day, Corey Lapell masquerades as a mild-mannered Canadian business owner, CrossFit coach, martial artist, and founder of Empower Gym. By night—and any stolen hour in between—he indulges a lifelong compulsion to string letters into words, words into sentences, and sentences into stories that wander from aliens to gunfighters to fairy-tale disasters. His fiction blends humour (ranging from silly to darkly disturbing) with science fiction, fantasy, and the occasional psychological gut-punch.
Corey began writing to entertain himself after exhausting every halfway-decent option on the major streaming platforms. When he’s not writing, coaching, lifting heavy things, or cheerfully trying to choke his training partners unconscious, he can be found enjoying life in Vancouver with his wife and son.
