Ben Parris, a founding director at Long Island's Museum Row, is best known as the author of the WADE OF AQUITAINE trilogy, Book One of which spent four weeks on Amazon's Kindle Bestseller List.

This debut novel has two of the most unusual characters you will ever meet overcoming a separation of 1,200 years in a kind of modern-Medieval mix made familiar by J.K. Rowling. If the hero, Wade Linwood, had to explain his life, he might say it was a conspiracy between Edgar Rice Burroughs, Harry Turtledove, Isaac Asimov, Stephen Donaldson, and of course Dan Brown. He would probably be right.

Having immersed himself in a variety of writing, editing, and public speaking projects for twenty-five years, Parris' range includes education, journalism, music, and technical subjects as well as fantasy and science fiction. The favorite of his own short works, The Other Mr. Nedzi, can be found at http://www.apexdigest.com/Online/fiction050901.shtml. More of his short fiction will appear in the upcoming Farspace Anthology.
