My name is Ben Orlando. I have been writing novels and short stories for the last twenty years. I have published stories in the Bellevue Literary Review, The New Guard, The Tusculum Review, Mystery Weekly Magazine, and others. My manuscripts have been longlisted for the Caledonia Novel Prize, reached the finals of the Killer Nashville Claymore awards, and have been shortlisted for the Bath Novel Awards. I am an assistant professor of English at George Mason University and currently finishing my graduate program in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

I live with my wife and cat, Kitty, who wishes to be the hero of all my stories.
