His first book, an emotional, ground-breaking memoir titled Breaking Free: A Saga of Self-Discovery by a Gay Secret Service Agent was released in 2023 to great acclaim. Cory wrote his newest work, an illustrated children's book called Dada Takes a Trip (releasing February 2026), to help children and adults navigate the difficult and complicated feelings experienced when a parent leaves home on a work trip. Dada Takes a Trip is published by Cory's latest venture, his own publishing company: Cory Allen Books.","brand":"Cory Allen Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52078031339794,"sku":"9798993601007","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_2cc9bd5d-e1e4-4b33-ad63-f80f8c15ee31.jpg?v=1772527469","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/dada-takes-a-trip-9798993601007","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
