After spending his career as a police officer, a Special Agent for the U.S. Secret Service and, more recently, a Supervisory Special Agent, Cory Allen realized he had some compelling tales to share.

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.

Quotes by Cory Allen  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The courage it takes to leave behind what’s not for you anymore is the same courage that will help you find your way to what is.”
Cory Allen

“We had some stellar supervisors on evening shift, particularly the sergeants who worked the east end of the county. You wanted to be a better officer because of them and emulate their style of leadership.  They also made working fun. They were there when you needed them, always available to answer questions or resolve a complex problem if you couldn’t, while never belittling or managing in a condescending manner. As long as you were productive, competent, and looked out for your peers, you were given the liberty we all sought.”
Cory Allen, Breaking Free: A Saga of Self-Discovery by a Gay Secret Service Agent
