I am the author of 'The Inheritance of Things Past', a novel about a young man facing up to serious illness. He recalls the major events and loves of his life, and how they have shaped him into who is today. It is the influence of all that has been that will help him fight for tomorrow.

I am currently securing publication for my second novel and beginning work on my third.

My debut is available through all good retailers and on the Kindle.

This is the debut novel from Ben J Dutton, and was described by Welsh playwright Dic Edwards as "Very impressive: strange and original in feel."

It is a haunting elegiac novel about love and life, one that lingers in the memory long after the last page has been turned.
