Born in Buckfield, a rural town in Maine, Ben grew up reading Tolkien, Stephen King, and Charles Dickens. When he went to college at the University of Maine at Farmington, he published his first piece of fiction in the local college journal. After moving across the country to study creative writing at Mills College, he began writing poetry as well as fiction. In his graduate studies, he published poems in several little magazines as well as a book of poems, Implicit Lyrics. He won honorary mention from the Academy of American Poets in the Friends of University Libraries Poetry Prize for his poem “All the Wind Points East.” While in Buffalo, New York, he met his future wife, a Fulbright scholar from Chile. They were married a year later, under crimson bougainvillea. After moving to Chile, Ben dusted off a book he had written in Buffalo. After much revision, Ben renamed it The World Without Crows and released it on Amazon. It won an IndieBrag Award and had many favorable reviews. Encouraged by fans of the book, he wrote the sequel, The World Without Flags, which takes place ten years after the first book. The book was one of the most award-winning Indie books of 2019, winning six awards, including the Silver Medal from Self-Publishing Review and a Finalist medal from Next Generation Indie Book Awards. He is currently living by the Pacific Ocean in La Serena while he researches and plans his next book.
