RJ Castiglione lived in upstate NY until he moved to Boston in 2002 to attend Boston University. Now a resident of Rhode Island, he works 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 spanning speculative fiction, his favorite being LitRPG/Gamelit. He has a passion for writing stories featuring gay leads. His stories are inspired in part by his interests in gaming and from his travels with his husband and friends.
