About the author

Ben Cass

<p>From a young age, Ben Cass was in love with the premises of fantasy novels and comic books: amazing creatures, fantastic heroes, and magical powers that existed right beneath our noses. &nbsp;He created detailed storylines to act out with his toys, often updating the stories until he was satisfied with the plots.</p> <p></p> <p>His love of writing began in his senior year of high school, when he had to write short stories for his English class. &nbsp;He wrote the first one in ten minutes, all because it was due the next class period and he&rsquo;d completely forgotten about it. &nbsp;That story was greeted with laughter and applause by his classmates and teacher.&nbsp; His subsequent assignments garnered even more positive responses, and Ben began to seriously consider writing as a hobby.</p> <p></p> <p>A native Floridian, Ben attended Florida Southern College, where he earned his Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, double-majoring in Secondary Education. &nbsp;Ben graduated in 1998, and has been in education ever since. &nbsp;</p> <p>Ben is a certified geek, and loves Superman, Star Trek, Doctor Who, and other sci-fi/comic book characters and stories. &nbsp;You can find Ben on Twitter under the handle @bencassauthor. &nbsp;</p> <p></p> <p>Ben lives in beautiful Broward County, Florida, with his wife and son, where he continues his career as an educator and is diligently working on the <em>Legends of Kiamada</em> series.</p>
