My name is Benjamin—please call me Ben.

I like to procrastinate by signing up to new websites and funky blogs and stuff—anything that requires me to come up with a new username and password (because I don’t already have enough floating around me ‘ed!).

I am a writer. I have written songs, plays, CD reviews, angry emails I thankfully never sent, wet love letters, and a novel.

When not writing a blog, going over the next draft to a new novel or updating facebook/twitter/plans-to-end-my-reliance-on-computers-and-smart-phones I enjoy reading George Orwell, Joseph Campbell, John Irving, David Sedaris and many other free-thinking and humorist types.

Steve Martin is not only a wild and crazy guy he is one of my favourite writers.

In the past I’ve blogged about the release of my first novel, The Last Great Day, reported on local literature ‘happenings’ (aka local writing festivals) and various other stuff I find interesting like the question of what defines a blogibian?

If you’d like to know check out this post HERE.

Thanks for dropping by.

Happy trails.
