Benjamin X. Wretlind is a speculative fiction author who writes science fiction, dark fantasy, magical realism, and some horror. Infusing his writing with a heavy dose of philosophy and epistemology, he is the author of several novels, novellas, and creative writing books and is a full member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA).

While not writing, Benjamin builds and teaches leadership and professional development courses to staff at Yale University. Owing his life’s viewpoint to Bob Ross, he has also painted a few things, thrown a few paintings away, and probably has a painting on an easel right now. Oh, and he loves woodworking, too.

It’s all about creating.

Benjamin lives with his wife Jesse in Colorado.
