Benny can trace the origin of his love for storytelling to reading Jack London’s The Call Of The Wild when he was seven years old, and listening to his uncle tell stories of being an artillery cannoneer in North Africa and Italy during World War II. His life-long dream of having a novel published was realized with the 2020 release of his debut novel, CODE GRAY, a thriller/mystery dealing with politics, murder, voter manipulation, and the money behind all of it.
