The Kamikaze: The Galapagos' Islands Tale

Borja, Aracelly Contreras: - Growing up in Ecuador, in the city of Guayaquil, Aracelly Contreras Borja became familiar with legends at a young age. At fourteen, she first heard the tale of a mysterious WWII kamikaze deserter stranded on the Galapagos Islands, and then again at age twenty-one. It left such an impact on her that she decided the story needed to be shared with a wider audience, and she has penned The Kamikaze.

Aracelly also published a memoir, They Called Me Alicia, in 2021.

When she isn't writing, in her leisure time, Aracelly enjoys watching movies and making crafts. She lives in Oakville, Ontario, Canada.
