Bio:
--My
first thriller, Jack Be Nimble: Gargoyle, was based on a short story
written for a literary contest while I was an undergraduate student. I
attended Brigham Young University,
where I studied international relations, English, and broadcast
journalism. For some reason, I also hold an MBA with an emphasis in
Global Management. In addition to working as a novelist, I am the head
of marketing for an international technology services provider based in
the San Francisco Bay Area, where I live with magnificent wife and two children. For more information, visit www.benenglishauthor.com.

Q: What will e-readers like about your book?
--Readers
who enjoy fast-paced, electrifying stories that unfold in
historically-rich settings will really enjoy Gargoyle, the first book in
the Jack Be Nimble series.
The series follows a harrowing week in the lives of Americans Jack Flynn and Mercedes Adams as they race from Paris to London to L.A. to Havana, Cuba, to stop a brilliant technologist bent on global socio-economic ruin. Though
separated for years, Mercedes and Jack discover the path to survival
lies in their increasingly intertwined lives and in the secret history
they share.
In
“Gargoyle,” Jack is alone in Paris, left a widower by a clandestine
operation gone wrong, his team of special operatives in disarray. Mercedes
is at the pinnacle of her career as professional photographer, but left
increasingly dissatisfied both by her success and the healing process
following a recent divorce. Unbeknownst to her, a
team of assassins has been dispatched to her home by an old family
friend determined to uncover secrets left behind by her parents.
Gargoyle will appeal to lovers of thrillers, suspense, and romance. The follow-up novel in the series, Jack Be Nimble: Tyro, is also available, and the remaining two books in the series are slated to be available in the fall of 2011, before Christmas.
Q: Why did you go indie?
-- Can't imagine going any other way! I
never seriously considered approaching the traditional publishing
houses, and I absolutely love the idea of sharing these stories in a way
that is most accessible to readers who love books, either in e-book or
print.
Couldn’t
have said this a few years ago, but from a business perspective there
really aren’t many long-term benefit in going with a traditional
publishing house. Indie publishing includes a vibrant, energetic community that will only grown as the publishing business continues to change.
