BenCast

In this new BenCast, I give you the low-down on what I’ve been up to since Dubai. First and foremost, as you may have heard, my latest novel—The Heart of Stone—is up for Best Self-Published Novel in the Booknest Fantasy Awards! (You can vote in the awards right here: http://booknest.eu/component/k2/blog/867-2017-booknest-fantasy-awards-shortlist)I’m also onto Book 3 of the new Chasing Graves Series, and I’ve just submitted two short stories for anthologies due for 2018. Oh, and I’m plotting out

Part two is here! Here’s the second instalment of my adventures in Dubai. I finally get my hands on a camel (or two), go sand boarding, and find out more about the world’s tallest building. It was so inspiring for the new books, and it’s been great adding much more realism and detail to my desert world after seeing the Middle East up close (instead of Google Earth or Images).If you’re enjoying these videos, you can subscribe on YouTube at www.youtube.com/bengalley, or click the tab on the left.

My Dubai blog is here! It took a while to edit this one with so much footage taken while I was there. So much in fact, it’s in two parts. Here’s part one, with the second part coming this Wednesday. Hope you enjoy my antics in the Middle East. In this instalment, I arrive in Dubai, check out the largest mall in the world, and head out into the desert for some sunset adventures.If you want to know more, you can follow me on Twitter @BenGalley and on Facebook and Instagram @BenGalleyAuthor.

My Canadian adventure continues! I’ve got two vlogs coming this week, and here’s the first – myself and the other Brits join forces with a few Canadians to go and investigate a lake near Victoria. It’s called Lake Thetis, and it’s goddamn beautiful. A day out like this seems so easy to have here, and something that would be hard to find back home. Instead, we’d probably find ourselves at the pub, to be honest!For more updates on my time exploring Canada, don’t forget to follow me on Twitter

This time explore the waters around Vancouver Island. I’d like to say I pilfered a boat to head out and rule the seven seas, but in truth I simply rented a powerboat and went out fishing. I wish we’d caught sight of some whales, but there’s plenty more time for that later this year, as the whale season is only just starting. Instead, we caught some actual fish… very interesting look fish.Catch all my updates on Twitter @BenGalley and on Facebook and Instagram @BenGalleyAuthor.Music by that top
