I’m Ben Boardman and I write things.

Ben Lookin’ Like a Doofus

I am a fantasy and sci-fi writer, my books tend towards heroic fantasy. Heroes, magic, and monsters are my favorite things to write about (though a dash of starships and pew-pew laser guns never hurt) with a dash of human vulnerability.

My current series Local Heroes debuts soon and is described as: “Lord of the Rings meets your tabletop role-playing group”. If you are interested in the more game-centric side of my writing you can check out my other site So You Want to Be a Hero? Part travelog and part sourcebook for the world of Local Heroes, it’s a great resource if you want to join me in my world or take a deep dive into life along the Glory Road.

I live with my family and several cats in Atlanta, Georgia. I love to talk about writing and meet readers and am generally available for convention appearances. Get to know me by following me on Twitter and Facebook, and be sure to check back regularly for what I’m working on and all the random things that go on in my brain.
