James Bennett

James Bennett is a British author of fantasy fiction from Loughborough, England. He is best known for the Ben Garston series, beginning with Chasing Embers and continuing through Raising Fire and Burning Ashes, an urban fantasy saga built around dragons at war within a contemporary human world. His short fiction has been collected in Exploding Myths: Short Stories 2006-2016, and his novel Preaching to the Perverted extends his catalog beyond the Garston series. Bennett's fantasy blends myth-steeped conflict with grounded, present-day settings, giving ancient creatures a modern battlefield in the tradition of hidden-world urban fantasy. He has published five books connected to the Ben Garston world.
