Hi! I'm Benjamin.

I'm a 35-year-old French guy with a passion for stories. I spend most of my days working as a software engineer, I worked in the video game industry for about a decade. While it's an enjoyable and comfortable job, I've also wanted to do some more purely creative work.

I've loved books and stories forever. I read a bunch of fantasy epics, and I spent my time between books, tv shows, and video games. At school, I was this person who stayed by himself and carried around a thousand-page book (The Wheel Of Time, usually).

I've had a hobby of writing since about as long as I've been reading. I wrote short stories, fan fiction, and random chapters for epic novels. For thirty years, I never finished anything nor published any book, far from it, but I've always loved writing. And then, I decided to get serious about it.

The early part of 2022 was an extraordinary time for me, I was energized like never. I put a lot of time and effort into writing. I published blog entries and I was making real progress on my stories. I ended up completely rewriting a love story I had started years ago. This story is The Maze Of Your Mind, and I finished a first draft in May 2022, clocking in at 150 000 words. Since then, I've been rewriting, expanding and revising it, as well as starting to work on more novels.

I've now self-published my first book and I hope people will find it good enough that I may invest fully into this path. Still, if even one person enjoys the story, it will be a success!

My stories focus on adult romance and relationships, on wonder and mystery, on psychology and philosophy. They usually center around women and queer characters, explore relationships and life stories. My goal is to make complex, high-quality, meaningful stories, so as to make the reader feel strong emotions and think deeply about the themes.

The books are self-published as ebooks. They are available from online retailers such as Amazon, Google and Kobo. You might notice I indicate EI Benjamin Hamon as the publisher, it means Entreprise Individuelle (sole proprietorship) and it's a legal status for running a business as an individual.
