The Storyteller’s War: Geoffrey Chaucer Reluctant Spy (Black Rose Writing $26.95) marks the debut of J.C. Corry, a Vancouver-based writer and former documentary producer. Set in 1366 during the brutal war for the Castilian crown, the novel reimagines poet Geoffrey Chaucer as an unlikely spy, navigating the treacherous courts and battlefields of Spain. Tasked by King Edward III to sway a mercenary’s allegiance, Chaucer must outwit seductresses and survive deadly conspiracies—not only to secure political victory, but to win the heart of the woman he loves. Corry draws from his lifelong fascination with Chaucer, sparked by childhood memories of London and deepened through studies in literature and film. Using his background in TV documentaries and a corporate writing career, Corry brings narrative precision and historical texture to his fiction. 9781685135973
