RJ CLARK began his career as a child actor. His was the face of the national US\\xa0Army \\u201cStay in School\\u201d ad campaign. RJ also appeared regularly on daytime\\xa0television and worked on numerous film and commercial projects before\\xa0inevitably returning to his first true love, writing.

As a screenwriter, RJ\'s screenplays won first prize or placed in the top 5 of nearly\\xa0every major national\\u2014and international\\u2014competition worth mentioning. His\\xa0novella, Two for One launched the indie literary magazine \\u201cThe Instagatorzine,\\u201d\\xa0broken into two parts across the magazine\\u2019s first two issues.

A native New Yorker, RJ attended NYU, holds a BFA and an MFA. He has lived in\\xa0all five boroughs, but now calls historic Asbury Park, NJ home with his wife and\\xa0dog, an Aussillon named Venus.

While RJ no longer works in the theatre as an actor, he provides accessibility\\xa0services for deaf patrons at live performances throughout the country. He is\\xa0passionate about theatre being for all, and enjoys being able to introduce new\\xa0shows to deaf or hard of hearing patrons.

When not writing, you\\u2019re most likely to find RJ either playing guitar along the\\xa0Jersey Shore, taking photographs of cool dogs and musicians around Asbury\\xa0Park, voraciously reading new books, working on new music, or traveling the\\xa0world.

A few of RJ\\u2019s most favorite things include black coffee, chocolate, Stephen King,\\xa0peanut butter, Pringle\\u2019s, Truman Capote, tabletop games, the Universal Studios\\xa0Monsters, horror movies, and David Tennant.

STAYCATION is RJ\\u2019s debut novel.
