I would personally like to thank you for taking the time to visit my site. Writing is a joyful hobby that I have been doing since I was a child. In kindergarten I began writing stories for my class and that continued all the way through my sixth grade year. Yes, the stories were terribly written and cheesie but it was the creative process that I always enjoyed the most. In my fourth grade year I became a huge fan of the Goosebumps series by R.L. Stine. I even began writing my own series called "Chills" in the fourth grade and started selling those books to my fellow classmates. I fortunately own two of those stories to date and I have to say that I am still pretty impressed with my nine and ten-year-old self.

I fortunately own two of those stories to date and I have to say that I am still pretty impressed with my nine and ten-year-old self. My author name for the "Chills" series was R.J. Castro, following my hero R.L. Stine. I only felt it fitting that my author name as an adult should be R.J. Castro in dedication to the ten-year-old that always wanted to write. Writing was not my first choice occupation, I always wanted to be an actor, and still do. But my passion for writing became reignited when I read the first Harry Potter book back in 2009. I fell in love with reading all over again. I absolutely loved the magic, fantasy and I was inspired to write immediately. But what? I know I have always been fascinated with working with my hands but what if hands were used as the primary source of magic. I went to work the next day and thought and thought of a story, but I knew I wanted to stray away from vampires, witches, wizards and werewolves. That night I needed to talk about the book I was developing to someone, Kyle, my partner. The poor thing got an earfull of nonsense but I didn't care, I just needed to tell someone. I must've spent a year in my head developing the story while studying writing and reading other books. Little by little Chase was born and his story was flowing out of my head, through my fingers and onto a blank screen. I am thrilled to have finished this story. I absolutely loved writing it and I love reading it. It really does give me hope for a better future and confidence in knowing that anything can be accomplised so long as you have the will and drive to pursue your dreams. ...more
