An adventurer and storyteller, Ben has walked the Great Wall of China, and climbed to 18,000 feet on Mt. Everest. He now writes spellbinding stories for boys and girls.
Ben grew up practically living in the local library. Reading was his escape and the library was his portal. He loved boys adventure stories and he’s been amazed at the reports that say boys don't read. So he decided to write the kind of stories he remembered. Tales of lost gold and river caves, and flying with eagles. Stories of friendship that endure through adversity and danger. Adventures that inspire and educate and, most of all, entertain.
