About this author

Benjamin Jones was born in Greeneville, TN but currently resides in Little Elm, TX with his wife, two daughters, a dog and one cat. Benjamin has been writing for close to 15 years while working various 9-5 jobs but, all the while, finding time to keep the writing the main priority and always trying to hone his craft.

Writer of many genres, Ben has covered horror (his H.U.B. vampire series) as well as his critically acclaimed romance novel, Head Above Water. Be on the lookout for more works from Ben, including his up-coming non-fiction book on Hip-Hop and a new romance novel entitled The Girl In The Red Balloon.

Benjamin is available for convention visits/speaking engagements, print, radio and web interviews as well as guest blog postings. To...more


I am done slacking; it has been six long months since I last posted a blog - that's a long f**king time - but I'm back. So...., what's been going on in the last 180 days (give or take a few)? Well.....

“You shouldn't be embarrassed by the things you do because that's who you are. Your quirks are what separate you from all of the dull, regular and boring people who all look and act the same as everyone else.”
Benjamin Jones, Head Above Water

“I'm a firm believer that, from the time you're born until the second your last breath has been drawn from your body, our lives are all about taking risks. It's how you respond to those risks, when everything is on the line, which truly defines a person's life.”
Benjamin Jones, Head Above Water

“I felt as if I had gotten to the point where I could no longer trust myself. I was not the same person any longer. My whole genetic makeup had somehow been altered by him and I was a brand new person, one that was completely foreign to me.”
Benjamin Jones, Head Above Water

“If you are a writer you locate yourself behind a wall of silence and no matter what you are doing, driving a car or walking or doing housework you can still be writing, because you have that space.”
Joyce Carol Oates

“A writer is someone for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people.”
Thomas Mann, Essays of Three Decades

Charlotte Brontë

“When his life was ruined, his family killed, his farm destroyed, Job knelt down on the ground and yelled up to the heavens, "Why god? Why me?" and the thundering voice of God answered, There's just something about you that pisses me off.”
Stephen King, Storm of the Century: An Original Screenplay
