She loves reading Shakespeare, Haruki Murakami, O. Henry, Jasper Fforde, Isaac Asimov, Oscar Wilde, Lord Byron and Wordsworth.

Benjamin Chapman
Benjamin Joel Chapman is a recent graduate of U.C. Berkeley and Loyola Law School, Los Angeles. He’s always loved reading and recently got into writing as well.  He wanted to be a writer when, while studying for a law school exam, he had to just stop—all he wanted to do was re-read Fahrenheit 451. So he did.  It led him to the realization that the reading and writing skill set doesn’t need to have a practical application; art is important in and of itself. These are his first published short stories.
