Oh, hello! I'm Ben, Benjamin Joseph Kuniyoshi White if you're not into the whole brevity thing, BJK White if you're somewhere in the middle, and I'm the indie author of such least-selling books as Charlotte Powers: Power Down (superheroes), The Undying Apathy Of Imogen Shroud (zombies), Miya Black, Pirate Princess (pirates, princesses), Resonance: Birds Of Passage (dark ensemble superpowered fantasy thing) and a couple more besides. All of my books fall squarely into the sub-sub-genre of 'Girls Kicking Arse', and I'm comfortable calling them YA (for young adults of all ages) (and it's just amazing how old some young adults can be, these days). If you're interested in checking out my books, head on over to my web page (link below) and poke around a bit.
