About the Author

Having initially trained in design, Ben has enjoyed a diversity of creative disciplines down the years including graphic design, animation, garden design, photography, song writing, performing arts and illustration, yet above all these he enjoys writing fiction the most. When Ben began writing, the genre was fantasy. He later worked on a series of (as yet unpublished) early-medieval whodunits before, beginning the Tyler May project. The Tyler May story encompasses several key areas of Ben's interest, namely, history, mystery and crime/detection. In addition to his written work Ben is a song writer and illustrator. He is married and has three daughters who have partly been the inspiration for the three main characters in the Tyler May books.
