Ben HennessyBen Hennessy is a writer originally from Essex, England, who now finds himself based in Cambridge. Nobody's quite sure how he ended up in that charming university city full of history, punting and architecture. But it probably has something to do wit the alarming number of local pubs.His debut fantasy novel, Queen of the World, explores the story of Sarene - a young girl with dreams of adventure who discovers that the myths and legends of her world are very real. A sequel, The Whisper of Dreams, explores Sarene's continued friction with this knowledge and the danger of navigating everyday life in the nation of Tamir.Ben's writing style is influenced by the likes of Stephen King, David Gemmell, James Herbert and Terry Pratchett. He particularly enjoys writing dialogue and likes nothing more than sitting down to begin a draft featuring long, spirited conversations among multiple characters.A devoted video game enthusiast/addict, Ben has a long career in the industry. He started out working with the hit game Runescape, before moving into narrative design for Frontier Developments in 2019, overseeing and writing the primary story of the iconic sci-fi franchise Elite.
