I'm 25 and I love writing, obviously. I live in Brisbane and study Creative Writing at Queensland University of Technology. I like reading and writing science fiction, but I also have a soft spot for romance. I am currently working on a novella and the beginnings of a crime novel. My favourite book is Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell, followed closely by Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? by Philip K Dick. ~ Interviews ~ Interview with Beans225 - http://www.wattpad.com/12863596-superheroes-of-wattpad-literature-bencarey Interview with ElaDaniels - http://www.wattpad.com/12682241-interviews-in-progress-interview-with-bencarey Interview with WattyInsider - http://www.wattpad.com/11619851-interview-with-bencarey-author-of-%27blink%27-on Interview with Mosiac - http://www.wattpad.com/4226562-wattpad-celebs-find-out-who-lives-beneath-the

@Mosiac Hello there! Unfortunately it will not be until the end of the year that I can edit and release the novel. I have too much to work on at the moment at uni. But when I do, you will be one of the first to know :) How are you doing?

Hi Ben I am an avid fan of Philip K Dick and have read all of his ScFi stories. Some of them are now a bit dated . PKD spent most of his life under the threat of the "Bomb" it is clear from his stories.Be careful in Bookshops he also wrote some books that are not ScFi and they end up in that section of the Book shop. Some Titles are also sold under different Names> which can be confusing. My favourite Book is J Whyndams Day of the Triffids.
