edit data

Benjamin Gilchrist is a first-time author and an attorney licensed in Minnesota. It has always been his dream to write and publish a book. Ben wrote his debut novel, The Last Before, during his last year of law school as a way to cope with the stress of school and the pandemic. What started as a hobby quickly turned into an obsession. While other students read ahead and formed study groups, Ben wrote and re-wrote this book. Ben graduated from the University of St. Thomas School of Law with honors and passed the Minnesota bar exam. Ben resides in Charleston, South Carolina with his girlfriend Ris and their two cats. He spends his time surfing, reading, and of course, working on his next novel.
