Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, Jake Biondi fell in love with "The Windy City" at an early age. He left the Chicago area for four years to attend the University of Notre Dame, from which he graduated with degrees in English and Business. He was awarded the university’s prestigious William Mitchell Award for Playwriting. Upon graduating from Notre Dame, Biondi returned to Chicago where he attended and graduated from the Loyola University Chicago School of Law. He has been living in Chicago's Boystown neighborhood for over 20 years.While studying literature, Biondi became a huge fan of Charles Dickens whose novels were originally released in installments, each ending in a cliffhanger to keep readers coming back for more. Because of his love of those novels as well as television dramas such as Dynasty, Knots Landing, Dallas, and Revenge, Jake Biondi decided to create a serialized saga for contemporary audiences. Thus, the BOYSTOWN series was born.Biondi began BOYSTOWN in June of 2013 as an online story and intended to release one "episode" online per month, each ending in a cliffhanger. The story became so popular -- and the online reading audience grew so quickly -- that people from all over the country began to email him demanding to know what happened to their favorite characters and wanting the episodes to be released faster. They also had suggestions for future storylines. Excited by and grateful for his readers’ responses to BOYSTOWN, Biondi began to write and release installments more quickly. In November of 2013, Biondi moved BOYSTOWN offline and published the first ten installments in book form as BOYSTOWN Season One. The book became an international hit, with fans all over the globe clamoring for more. BOYSTOWN Season Two was published in July of 2014, BOYSTOWN Season Three was released on May 1, 2015, BOYSTOWN Season Four was released on November 13, 2015, BOYSTOWN Season Five was released on June 1, 2016, and BOYSTOWN Season Six was released on December 16, 2016.Because of the popularity of the book series, fans have suggested that BOYSTOWN be turned into a television series. Biondi recently completed the TV scripts for the first season of BOYSTOWN and hopes to bring the series to television in the very near future.

Another season and another winner!! I swear every time I pick up a new season, after waiting months and months, I have to first go back and at least read an episode or two of the previous season to get my head back into this setting, these characters and these wicked circumstances. Once again,...

Oh this was once again...tasty! There are not many who can pull off this level of soap opera drama and do it so well but Jake Biondi has a knack that just can't be matched. This was every bit as enjoyable as the other seasons and the backstabbing, cheating and crazy antics being had here are s...

Once again, Jake Biondi​​ has tickled my gay soap opera fancy with another brilliant installment. Full of cheating, conniving and backstabbing moments all in classic soap opera style. I freaking love this. Now hopefully Season 7 won't be too far off. My brain can only hold this craziness in for so l...

**** 4 still soap opera stars **** It's been a few days since I finished reading this series, only getting to reviewing now. I'm taking a leaf out of these books, and cheat, reviewing both Season 4 and 5 in one. I hope I won't get shot, thrown off a balcony, get cheated on, exploded, kidnapped,...
