​Welcome!  My name is Benjamin Mollenhour and I am an author and writer, along with many other hobbies.  I graduated from the University of Arizona with a Bachelor of Arts in History and Classics.  I also graduated from Tiffin University with a Masters in Humanities with a concentration in Creative Writing.

Besides working, I enjoy casual photography and writing during my free time and hope to make it a larger part of my life.  Whether just a poem about something that appears in my mind, an idea for a novel or short story, or even mingling in history and bring historical truth alive, I enjoy expressing my ideas and thoughts through writing and creativity.

I moved a few years ago to Seattle from Tucson and and continue to learn the surrounding historic areas and looking to find some forgotten ghost towns.  ​My wife, Vy, and I love going on road trips and hiking to enjoy the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
