K. W. Benton

I have dreamed of being an author since I was very young. I have many hand written stories in blank page, bound journals. It might be fun to put some of them up someday on my website kwbenton.com. I spent several years earning a pay check and leaving my dreams on a shelf. I decided to pull them down, dust them off and make them a reality.

I love being creative and daydreaming has long been a pastime of mine. My website cover photo is a picture of my daughter enjoying her own fantasy world. It runs in the family.

My husband is an extremely talented musician with crazy good musical friends. He, and or his friends, play out every weekend and I highly recommend checking them out or supporting your own music scene. I openly and unabashedly support live music. Both of my kiddos are burgeoning instrumentalist. I am happy to sit and actually listen and watch live music, no chatting necessary. I also am an excellent roadie. I can carry gear in high heels.

I fear the comma and editing is my least favorite part of writing. Not original but very true. I am blessed to have good friends who try their best to keep me on the grammar train. Please don’t blame them if I have chosen to jump off. I do tend to use commas like confetti.

While I have not traveled everywhere some of my favorite places are home, San Francisco, CA, Edisto, SC, Castleisland, Ireland (I have family there who I think are wonderful), Dublin, Ireland, (Well, really, Ireland) Florence, Italy and Frederick, MD. I will let you know when the list grows as I am sure it will.

This is my first series idea. I do have others. I am in the writing process for the second book in the series.
