Overview:

Ben has always written, since a young age. This year, he has refined and organised the work he has been doing into the culmination of a number of books, which are in the final stages of the editorial process. The therapeutic value of the culmination of a book, crafting characters and delivering a story that people will enjoy is the primary factor in his motivation for writing. He enjoys developing plots and characters, often basing themes of science and technology on his writing. In addition, he loved myths and legends and typically likes to write about modern takes on themes that have been integral parts of cultures all over the world. Storytelling is and always has been an important part of human life. It has often been underappreciated for many eras of history. Yet, the tales and literature are all that remain for cultural documentation that was not appreciated at the time they were recorded. The writer has been immortalised in their own desired form.
 

Background:

He is interested in many scientific disciplines, namely: quantum neurology, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, evolutionary biology, biohacking, and human enhancement and augmentation. These are topics he often includes as part of the themes and plots of his writing. Mythology and cultural tales are also a massive influence on his writing. Typically, the greats: greek tales and well-known legends, the Roman tales and godly characters and their metaphorical place in the culture and people. Ancient Egypt, Persian and Asian tales and haikus.

In addition to this, he loves to read on many varied topics. Typically, he reads and makes notes on at least one book a week. The BLOG section may contain critical analysis articles of some of the books that he has enjoyed. This will come in due course, as will a blog post every week. Subscribe

He has had some minor success with the publication of some short stories under a pen name. At any given time, he has various submissions of book proposals to publishing houses. The main work of this year (2024) is the release of two novels. See the ‘BOOKS’ page for details on these. Hopefully, the hard work will translate into reader satisfaction which is the primary goal. The satisfaction that he has gained from reading, throughout his life, will hopefully be something other's gain.
