Arslay Joseph was born on April 1st, 1998 in Miami, Florida. He was born to two Haitian parents, Ancelet and Casimir Joseph. He has three younger brothers: Benedict, Hantz, and Ray. Hantz is currently suffering from Autism, and because of this, his family of six moved up to Massachusetts to find more opportunities for him in 2009. Always being an avid reader, Arslay began writing in middle school and, with the help of loving family and friends, finished writing this book when he was just 12 years old.
