Benjamin Roberts

Before I wrote my first novel, I was a specialist attorney in the fields of copyright, entertainment and media law for more years than I care to recall. After my degree in English Language and Literature I qualified as a solicitor and left England for Hong Kong, where I trained in Intellectual Property law. I then returned to London to work in film, television and music and travelled all over the world for many years in connection with the production and distribution of films of opera, ballet, music performance and arts documentaries, more main-stream televisual fare and a few movies.

These travels took me to places where I met people and had exotic and rather bizarre adventures, some of which inspired the origin and writing of the Bonchurch novels which, though inspired by the foreign, the occult and supernatural, are centred firmly in the Isle of Wight, a beautiful Island saturated in history and magic.

​I now spend my time painting in oils. writing and sailing my beautiful old yacht.
