Tell us about yourself.:
Hi. I'm Bobby. I am an award-winning author (which still feels weird to type). As a hybrid author, I write for a number of publishers and have my own small press, BEN Books. I write novels, comic books, short stories, audio dramas, and screenplays. I love telling stories and feel quite lucky to get to do it.
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?:
I grew up in and around Atlanta, Georgia. I still live in Georgia, though a bit further outside the city these days. As this is the only state I've lived in, it definitely forms the DNA of my writing in some ways. I have set a number of stories in and around the south because I know the place so well.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Is procrastination unusual? I think all writers suffer from that one. I'm pretty normal when it comes to my work. No strange rituals or anything to get the work done. Sitting down and getting started without being distracted is my biggest daily hurtle.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Have fun. First and foremost, enjoy what you do. Then, set attainable goals for yourself. What do you want to get out of writing? Once you answer that, work toward it. If writing is what you want to do as a career, treat it like a job. If it's a hobby, that's cool too. Pick that path that works best for you.
