R.J. Godlewski currently lives in Houghton Lake, Michigan with his Australian Cattle Dog, Rocky, where he has begun work on the nineteen volume The Gatestrian Knights series, tracing the development of a space-based civilization. When not writing, he creates organizations including the Sara Ann Doss Cancer Research Center (SADCRC) project, in memory of his beloved Sara, to search the oceans for marine organisms which may be of medicinal value; the Near Earth Asteroid Detection Interferometer (NEADI) project to search for asteroids and comets that may threaten the planet; the Medical Emergency Dispatched Infirmary Ships (MEDISHIPS) to convert ex-offshore standby rescue vessels to provide mobile medical facilities for locations destroyed by war and natural disasters; and the International Nuclear Emergency Response Team (INERT), a private effort to develop techniques and technologies to combat terrorism - an extension of a lifelong crusade against this abomination which included the founding of the Civilian Anti-Terrorism Auxiliary (CATA) incorporated in Michigan during the early 1990's and the Civilian Counter-Terrorism Institute (CCTI) incorporated in Oklahoma just weeks prior to the Murrah Federal Building bombing.

Writing - fiction, non-fiction, music - enables R.J. Godlewski to express his artistic talents as well as his creative side and contribute to his organizational pursuits in an effort to "give something back to this great nation of ours." A veteran of the U.S. Navy, a former trucking business owner, an advocate for practical cancer research, and a proponent of marine and space exploration, R.J. Godlewski taps into the wealth of his experiences for his novels.
