COMING IN 2026!
For over a decade, actor Corey Maher has worked on big-budget blockbuster movies and Emmy Award–winning television shows, alongside some of Hollywood’s most prestigious talent. But after experiencing a devastating accident on set, Corey now faces his most challenging role yet as he is forced to explore the strength and depth of his own character throughout his recovery.​
In The Backstory, Maher rewinds the reel on fifty years of family, friendship, failure, and show business. From his Midwestern roots - including a near-death encounter with a flying shovel - to haunted houses, heavy metal aspirations and stage fright, this is a book that doesn’t pretend to have all the answers. Just some damn good stories.​
Told with unfiltered honesty and a wicked sense of humor, The Backstory isn’t a self-help book on how to make it in Hollywood (thank God). It’s a raw look at a life full of wrong turns, hard lessons, and the challenging moments that can pull us forward. ​
Because life doesn't come with a script. Just hair.
Corey has spent his life in pursuit of creative expression. He is a professional actor, screenwriter and author of the new book, "The Backstory". ​​He is also an avid guitar player who enjoys playing live music.
​Corey lives in Charlotte, North Carolina (USA) with his wife, Rebekah, and dog, Johnny Cash.
