Welcome, Fellow Story Lovers!
Hey there! I’m C.J. Riley, a writer, daydreamer, and lifelong book enthusiast. I grew up surrounded by the quiet beauty of Maine’s countryside, where I first discovered the power of a good story. Whether it’s tales that tug at the heart, twist your mind, or whisk you away into fantasy worlds, I’m all about exploring what makes us tick—and sharing those discoveries with you.
After spending 14 years in the military, I found myself longing for new adventures, which is how I ended up here, putting pen to paper. When I’m not writing, you’ll probably find me playing guitar, immersed in a game, or catching up on my favorite Stephen King or James Patterson novels.
I’d love for you to stick around, explore my books, and join me on this wild storytelling journey. Feel free to drop a message anytime—I’d love to hear from you!
Happy reading,
C.J.
The final editorial is in and its brutal and deep. Somewhere in the story, I lost my voice. I remembered the feelings I experienced during the hard times described in the book. Those memories took me down the wrong path for the books meaning. I can find it again. I need to be here in the moment. I must also understand what I’ve learned from my history. This is essential to give my message of hope to those who think there is no one to turn to. My debut should still be around Christmas. A more concrete Date is on the way!
