Ben is a writer, poet and artist originally from the North East of England but after much traipsing across this and another continent he is now based in Lancashire, between the cities of Liverpool and Manchester.

Ben currently has three poetry collections available. An omnibus printed edition collecting all three volumes in one neat and tidy place will also soon be available.

In 2009 Ben's novel 'Do Not Fear The World, Fear Yourself' was shortlisted for Liverpool's Writing On The Wall Pulp Fiction prize. His work has featured recently in 'Tales from a New Town' [Beacon Press] and his poem 'Subbie' won the 'Skelmersdale: Fifty Years as a New Town' competition in 2012.

Ben is also working on a couple of novels and a set of pulp thrillers which will emerge later this year. Find out more about Ben if you dare, in the Smashwords interview below!
