ⓘ About Ben Galley
His love of fantasy and tall tales stems from a childhood that he spent devouring the works of C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and the Brothers Grimm. A passion for creative writing, combined with a keen interest in mythology, was spawned that occupied much of Ben’s early life and teen years. By the age of thirteen, he had written three books about anthropomorphized monkeys. They will forever remain unpublished because of hideous grammar and spelling, but still served as a great foundation of practice. After he briefly pursued a career in the Royal Air Force, from which he bailed out on almost immediately when he realized that he wasn’t cut out for life in the military, Ben was distracted by music until the age of twenty.
