About the author
J.C. Calloway comes from the Harz mountains in Germany and has lived with his family near Hanover for many years. He travels a lot and has come to know many cities, countries and cultures along the way. Whatever catches his eye, he writes down. Over the years, countless notes have piled up, full of observations, characters and ideas, and one by one they have turned into stories.
For a long time, he kept them to himself. Now these stories are being published one after another, beginning in November 2026 with the Dead High thriller series.
