Why subscribe?

Subscribe to get full access to Ben’s newsletter and when it’s up and running, his website. And of course, never miss an update. You can even suggest topics for my articles! It’s hard for a writer simply to guess what might interest other readers — with your input, of course, I can make it more appealing.

It’s a new venture. I envision combining my lifelong interests—history, travel, and journalism—possibly with my take on current affairs thrown in, occasionally—to branch out from my published books on historical biography. Your feedback would always be welcome!

Stay up-to-date

You won’t have to worry about missing anything. Every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your inbox.
