About this author

The Canadian National Post wrote: Ben Campbell's novel "KISSING FREUD is emotionally charged, cunningly crafted and brilliantly executed."

The Croatian Times wrote: Ben Campbell's novel "DUBROVNIK has elements of the potency and wrath of civil war, an exemplary page turner encircling issues of friends, neighbors, hate, love and peace that stresses urban values and the younger generation ideology. DUBROVNIK is a different approach to enormous emotional complexities where love-hate factors intermingle within Croatian culture."

I'd decided to become a writer after a stranger propositioned me to assassinate his in-laws in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Henceforth my novel trilogy starting with DUBROVNIK, it's sequel "VITRUVIAN MAN" and the forthcoming third...more


KISSINg FREUd

When I was sequestered in an insane asylum, you know, an inner-city where they slam mentally challenged individuals who can't squeeze into society's tube of ethics, I decided to scream uncontrollably about the exploits that happened inside the padded walls and inside the psychotherapists offices, where droids and professionals were under the influence of pharmaceuticals and sexual... read more »

DUBROVNIK (Literature & Fiction)
1 chapters   —   updated Mar 01, 2011 06:13pm
Description: DUBROVNIK spins with cultural conflicts, robust characters and rock-ribbed stamina. The old walled-in city of Dubrovnik is an immensely rich, magical paradise as the backdrop. This story is a legend about friendship and love, lyrical images and palpable situations. Alex Crown’s demeanor is destined to draw you in. His physical strength is challenging. His diplomacy is brutal. His hunger for an independent Croatia is insatiable. With his hypnotic arrogance and gifted discretion, he and his partner Ivan Andric could help bring an end to tyranny and establish democracy in their country long ravaged by greed, deception and deadly obsessions. Dubrovnik is a work of fiction. Black and white photos of Dubrovnik and surrounding areas are included as complementary visuals, which create impact and atmospheric conditions for this unique story.
