Red Moon has been selected by the summer 2013 Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers Program.

In 2015, Graywolf Press will publish Ben’s book of craft essays, THRILL ME, which  focuses on the art of suspense and momentum and the borderlands of literary and genre fiction.

Ben has sold his next novel, The Dead Lands, a post-apocalyptic reinvention of the Lewis and Clark passage, again to Helen Atsma at Grand Central/Hachette.

Ben and his sister Jennifer Percy will both have their work included the 2013 Pushcart Prize anthology.

Ben profiled John Irving in a recent issue of Time.
