Ben Campbell

Ben has enjoyed visiting small villages, towns and cities in 15 European countries, Canada and Mexico and the United States. He'd met hundreds of motivated as well as dull individuals, some were well educated, others boring, many were fascinating and a few repelling. He was interested in the soul's that were riveting with energy, intriguing family members that were contagion and svelte, the folks that were recklessly engaging and wildly dramatic.

He's busy writing tough reality-fiction splashed with urban, ubiquitous, multi-layered adventures, all the while developing plots and characters that have guts and stamina, witticisms and strengths, conviction and unquenchable passion to live exciting lives.

His novels singe with investigative reporting, strident photography and razer-sharp realism. His Monterey, California dig is where he's authored six adventure novels.

Ben is currently researching and writing two more novels with locations in Washington DC and San Francisco, cities where he has lived and studied, where lines between reality & fiction can be seamless.

There is dangerous stillness in his stories of discovery what the French call, "La Chasse pour l'aventure," The hunt for adventure.

Please enjoy reading all of his novels. Give them to friends and relatives as everyday gifts.

  Thanks, Jeff for writing this eBook. I gave you 5 stars because I enjoyed your concept of discovery then cover-up. Your characters were strong throughout, the illustrations were fun and all moved diligently forward. I'm a fan of the Hemingway economy and understatement style of writing and I think this work might benefit with that along with a copy-edit. Similes and metaphors create shortcuts too that shift the text to concise details.

  Hi Ashley, I'll explain my needs first. I seek exquisite, heralding, concise, quantum, stealth stories (reality fiction) to coin my phrase. Plotting and sub-plotting needs to jettison me into outer space and plummet me into hell. I won't be bothered with menial, mundane situations and tongue-wagging dialog. Dull and tedious characters kill the story and bury my interest. Am I asking too much from a writer? Hell no! Time is precious and words manipulate. Accost me with exhilarating and electrifying characters. You say that's too difficult? Then you shouldn't write. Thrill me with stupefying and invigorating plotting. Not possible for you? Then don't write at all. Accost me and thrill me and I'll follow every word you write, every scintillating character you create and every brilliant plot you throw at me. Please, just dazzle me and I'll be your devotee. Inside your stories I visualized the environments and felt his and her's emotions. When I read I want to feel everything. And I wanted the names of your two characters, I wanted locations where they lived, to experience the weather, to inhale the smells of life and see the types of clothing they wore. I was confused with the second Africa paragraph. The girl was already up and about in the first paragraph then in the second "...she rose from her small bedroom on the floor." The rest of the story moved in pieces and bits and that was good; showing and not telling and considering the shortness of your epic. And the character buildup was very good. I gave you 5 stars because of effort and strategic ideas. So, take care and don't try to finish this story because it has ended.

  Forget the wonky formating, start dialog and uneven syntax, this story is funny, funny as in laugh out loud. It's a balancing act of daily emotions and activities and I'd compare it to the Brit TV comedy "The Young Ones" from decades back. Upload this and take an entertaining side-trip into the lives of itchy personalities.
