Benjamin Cage comes from a quiet Midwestern suburb filled with quiet suburbanites living quiet suburbanite lives. No wonder he left. Since graduating from the lifestyle, Cage has mucked about the U.S. funding his little adventure with the usual jobs: bouncer, bartender, and busboy. He's also acted as a rent-a-cop for various concert venues from Country and Western to Rock-n-Roll and the WWF. He is a student of humanity straight from the frontlines; he's seen the underbelly of society and met up with a lot of strange, which he has now begun to chronicle for those still trapped in suburbia. His favorite authors are Jim Thompson, James Crumley, and Pat Califia.
Cage's "Every Breath You Take" received Honorable Mention in The Murder Hole Strange Murders Short Short Fiction Contest and When Words End (a Swede Havarti Investigation) will appear in the Oct/Nov/Dec of 2002 issue of Futures Mysterious Anthology Magazine.
