Author Biography
Ben Solomon grew up with Picasso, Cagney and Beethoven. Classical arts training, comic books and Hollywood's golden age rounded out an education fit for a renaissance-hack, and provided inspiration for a lifetime. He's worked across disciplines, attempting to capture music upon canvas, translate oils and silver nitrate into words. Solomon's passion for the tough guy world of early gangster and PI flicks led to his creation of his short story series, "The Hard-Boiled Detective." He premiered the adventures online in February 2013, offering three yarns a month to subscribers. His hard-boiled and other fiction have appeared in e-zines across the web as well as the 2014 anthology "The Shamus Sampler II." Another adventure is scheduled for the "Drag Noir" anthology from Fox Spirit in October 2014. A member of the Short Mystery Fiction Society, Solomon lives and writes in Chicago.
