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. He created
detailed storylines to act out with his toys, often updating the
stories until he was satisfied with the plots.
His love of writing began in his senior year of high school, when
he had to write short stories for his English class. He wrote the
first one in ten minutes, all because it was due the next class
period and he'd completely forgotten about it. That story was
greeted with laughter and applause by his classmates and teacher.
His subsequent assignments garnered even more positive responses,
and Ben began to seriously consider writing as a hobby.
A native Floridian, Ben attended Florida Southern College, where he
earned his Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, double-majoring in
Secondary Education. Ben graduated in 1998, and has been in
education ever since.
Ben is a certified geek, and loves Superman, Star Trek, Doctor Who,
and other sci-fi/comic book characters and stories. You can find
Ben on Twitter under the handle @bencassauthor.
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 Legends of Kiamada series.
