John A. Daly

A lifelong Coloradoan, John graduated from the University of Northern Colorado in 1996 with a degree in business administration and computer information systems. He spent the next sixteen years developing accounting software and Internet-based, workflow collaboration solutions.

With a thirst for creative expression that went beyond the logic and absolutes of computer programming, John developed an interest in writing. His early work included newspaper editorials, and film and television reviews for entertainment websites. He later became drawn toward more substantive commentary on world events. He currently writes political, cultural, and media-analysis columns for nationally recognized news-commentary websites.

John's novel "Broken Slate" was a 2018 Thriller finalist in both the Colorado Book Awards and CIPA EVVY Awards. Two years later, he took first place in the same category (CIPA EVVY Awards) for his book "Safeguard."

John lives in Greeley, Colorado with his wife and two children. He enjoys camping, hiking, and other outdoor activities.
