Author Bio
Cory Basil is an American author, painter and filmmaker.

This philosophy also reigns in his paintings, where he conjures with a renaissance artist’s reverence for colour and light, revealing the soul of a baroque spectacle. His writing is honest, transparent, and artfully perceptive of the world around him. Although an introvert by nature, the truth of who Cory Basil is can be found in his writing. He currently lives in Nashville, Tennessee.
