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

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.

Hey guys. I just uploaded a new chapter of 'Power'. Sorry it took nearly 3 months! I am a busy man unfortunately :P Hope you enjoy it! Also, in other news. I've been wanting to but up some new work, or even write something specific for Wattpad. If you have any suggestions of what you'd be interested to see me write about let me know. And I may explore your idea. If it's werewolves, sorry but I probably won't, but hey run it by me anyway! - Ben
