Ben Wise was born in Sydney Australia though quickly abandoned the place for sunnier Queensland. He studied Software Engineering and his first story, Crimson, started as an escape from the insanity of his job as a 29 year old programmer/solution architect. Work suffered as he enjoyed the many late nights narrating Eve's story far too much. Apparently, he didn't learn from that punishment, and deciding to carry on writing a second story, Feathers Fall.
