RJ Castiglione was raised in upstate New York until he moved to Boston in 2002 to attend Boston University, graduating with a degree in Computer Science and a minor in Religion. Since 2006, he has worked as a technical support engineer and spends his days fixing software issues and writing technical documentation. His evenings and weekends, however, are spent penning short stories or grand novels that span multiple genres and niches within speculative fiction.

His stories are inspired in part by his interests in gaming and from his travels with his husband and friends.
