Background
Ben Lindstrom is in his mid-thirties and has spent most of his life within the computer industry as a programmer, database administrator, systemsadministrator, tech writer, and as a general jack of all trades. He has done work in the commercial, government, and the open source sectors. His most recently includes working on the famed OpenSSH from OpenBSD.
He started writing late in his high school years. Most of his original short stories attempted to mimic styles of Douglas Adams, Terry Brooks, and J.R.R. Tolkien, before deciding his taste lies in dark and serious tales infusing his dry humor. Ben has been an active member of the National Novel Writing Month since 2003.
