John A. Daly is a successful author, born and raised in Colorado. He graduated from the University of Northern Colorado in 1996 with a degree in Business Administration and Computer Information Systems. After spending sixteen years in the software development industry, creating accounting software and Internet-based workflow collaboration solutions, Daly decided to pursue his passion for writing. His early work included newspaper editorials and film and television reviews for entertainment websites. Over time, he developed a interest in more substantive commentary on world events and began writing political, cultural, and media-analysis columns for nationally recognized news-commentary websites.\n \nDaly's thirst for creative expression led him to write his first novel, "From a Dead Sleep", which is the first book in the Sean Coleman Thriller series. The series is set in the dense mountain ranges of Colorado, where Daly has spent much time camping, hiking, and enjoying the outdoors. The series has grown to include five books, with the most recent being "Restitution". Daly's novel "Broken Slate" was a 2018 Thriller finalist in both the Colorado Book Awards and CIPA EVVY Awards, and his book "Safeguard" won first place in the same category (CIPA EVVY Awards) two years later.
John Daly currently resides in Greeley, Colorado with his wife and two children. He enjoys outdoor activities such as camping and hiking. His writing journey from software development to political and cultural commentary, and finally to fiction, demonstrates his versatility and passion for writing.
