Discover the Next Generation of Christian Storytellers…
Featuring Benjamin T.J. Martin
Benjamin T. J. Martin is a writer, swordsman, and self-proclaimed nerd from small-town Maine. Growing up on adventures like The Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, Sherlock Holmes, and Star Wars gave him a deep fascination for mythology, folklore, and stories that delve into vast, unexplored worlds – not to mention a love for good mysteries. When he’s not preoccupied building Legos or trying to choreograph an upcoming fight scene with one of his swords, he writes stories to uplift young adults and give them both fascinating worlds to escape to and strong role models to look up to.

About His Short Story
Beneath a Shattered Moon by Benjamin Martin
Hank is a ghost cowboy, a ferryman on horseback who transports the newly-departed through the Desert Between Worlds to the river that will carry them to the afterlife. But to get there, they must pass through a shadowed valley where monsters lurk, and Hank is starting to doubt if he’s still the right man for such a dangerous job after so many years riding through the desert. Setting out for one last ride, Hank must face not only the dangers of the valley, but a deadly storm wraith as well. Along the way, he may just discover that he’s still the fastest gun in the wasteland.
