C. J. Daley lives in New York. He is the author of Welcome to Cemetery, his full-length crime thriller debut, as well as a full accompanying short story collection, Tales From Cemetery. BestGhost was his first sampler on the road to release. He enjoys smaller pieces that give hints to his created worlds at large, and he loves blending genres with dark descriptors. He hopes this won’t be the last you hear from him, and if you enjoyed, please consider leaving a review on Amazon, BookBub, Goodreads, StoryGraph, Literal Book Club—or share with a friend.

C.J. Daley and 3 other people liked Tawfek's status update Tawfek is on page 85 of 210 of I am a hero in Nagasaki: Third chapter down, this story has 8 chapters though not seven like last one but they are in fewer pages.
