edit data

Ben is an English born author from the North West of England, near Manchester. He has always loved reading and writing, attempting short story competitions from the age of 7 and very recently publishing his debut novel, Annarite Born - a fantasy novel filled with mystical seeresses, god chosen warriors and betrayal.
His favourite genres to read are fantasy and historical fiction, but he's recently been testing the waters with sci-fi (and loving it!)
He is married with two beautiful children, who despite making life very hectic, are the reason he wakes up every day. Machinery removal/installation is his day job, but he dreams every day of becoming a full time author and spending more time with his family. ...more
