Biography
Ben Berwick was born in the 1980s and moulded by the 1990s. A lover of all things Nintendo, Ben has proudly introduced his daughter to the wonders of Pokemon and Super Mario!

The world of the 24th Century, as per Star Trek, is appealing, but so is the world of the Commonwealth in Peter F Hamilton's Void Trilogy. To travel in the Tardis with the Doctor would be amazing, and to immerse myself in the land of Hyrule would be fantastic. I can't choose!(less)

New Awakenings

It's been a while since my initial, self-published edition of The Awakening landed. I was proud of it, but I felt there was more I could accomplish, and so I sought out publishers. The good people at Jumpmaster Press gave me an opportunity to update and enhance The Awakening, and from there, a new edition grew, and is now out for the world to see. I am eternally grateful to the support of my publi Read more of this blog post »

If you asked me to offer one phrase to sum up The Iron Crown, it would be 'slow-burning'. If you wanted more detail, then I would use terms like 'mysterious', 'enigmatic', 'detailed lore', and 'characters to root for'.
