Rolly, whose real name is Rosello, is a software engineer by profession and currently works in Washington, DC. He graduated with a degree of Bachelor of Arts in Economics from the University of the Philippines in 1982 and then earned a Certificate in Systems Engineering from the Center for the International Cooperation on Computerization (CICC) in Tokyo, Japan in 1988. He also attended the Discipleship Training School (DTS) under Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in Kona, Hawaii, in 1992.
Aside from writing, Rolly's other passions include composing songs with his guitar and playing chess. In his spare time, whenever he finds it, he reads books and surfs the ‘net. He is a big fan of the NY Giants and of his own invented board game “Opprimo”, which combines elements of Checkers and Othello.
Rolly is a Sci-Fi buff, obviously. He has read the likes of Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke. But his favorite books are "My Utmost for His Highest" and the Bible.
He is married to Anabel since 2003 and their union has produced three beautiful children, Ally, Eze, and Eza. They live in Annandale, Virginia.
