Ben Hammott was born in England, but currently lives in Germany. He writes both fiction and non-fiction. His fiction is often based on real historical events that have mystery and thrills attached to them. From Colonel Fawcett, a Victorian explorer who disappeared in the Amazon jungle in 1925, to H.H. Holmes, America's first recorded serial killer, his action/adventures are guaranteed to keep readers on the edge of their seats. And even when he lets his imagination run wild, as he did in the fantasy, A Gathering of Dwarfs, the action--and in this case, the laughs--are nonstop.
