Ray Chilensky lives in rural Tuscarwarus County, Ohio. He worked briefly in law enforcement and for several years in private security and he studied political science and history at Kent State University. Late in life he decided to pursue his passion for storytelling and combined that passion with lifelong interest in history and politics to seriously concentrate on a writing career. He currently has five novels published through Solstice Publishing.
His hobbies are drawing and painting in both traditional and digital mediums, and subjects such as ‘fringe’ archeology (especially the Pre-Columbian burial mounds near his home and throughout the Ohio Valley.)
