W. J. Manares a. k. a. Willer Jun Araneta Manares is a one-of-a-kind persona in the literary scene of Aklan - the oldest province in the Philippines. He came out from his mother's birth canal on the 1st day of June, year 1985.

He came from a prominent Hispanic family. A legitimate member of Familia Araneta (Araneta Family) in the Philippines, included in its 7th generation, to be exact.

He's the Philippine Brand Ambassador of Noel Lorenz House of Fiction, India and a member of The Aklan Literati (AkLit).

A semi-religious fellow who loves everything erotic and sci-fi. A volunteer teacher with a philanthropic heart. And a freelance musical coach if needed.

A lesser-known writer and worldbuilder who was influenced by the Superstar, Piers Anthony especially by his books, But What of Earth?, Bio of an Ogre, and Ogre, Ogre. He built the worlds of Stripes Archipelago and Nation of Tseicurdia.

He authored seven self-published books: Archipelago Astray, Isa Sa Ilang Paraan, Pilang Ka Sugid-sugid sa Bibi it Akean, Ang Bulbul atbp., Sa Itim Na Butas Ako'y Dumausdos 6.9, HAY and Mabilis na Pagyaman.

His High Fantasy story, Dormancy Breakage, was included in the NLHF and Country Girrls anthology, Risqué. His poem, Just Like A Rabbit, was also included in Cooch Behar's Year of the Rabbit Anthology. These books are available on Amazon.

He also started his own literary magazine, Wellerism, to cater the exposure of freelance writers locally and some others too.

He's also a songwriter and loves to strum the guitar and sing. He loves the music of Rammstein, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, Eagle-Eye Cherry and Toad the Wet Sprocket. He also wrote religious songs before.

When not writing, he's in his own library, reading and stacking his collection of books up on the shelves again and again.

He loves the taste of cinnamon sometimes. He enjoys living his peculiar life near the gateway to the paradise island of Boracay.
