Hi. I'm Ben Atkinson and I'm an author and broadcaster based in the East Midlands area of the UK.

Right now I'm in my second year of a Media Production Degree course at the University of Lincoln and from August to December of 2011, I was based in the USA at Minnesota State University Moorhead.

I'm very excited to announce that my new book, a travelogue about my time in the US will be available towards the end of Spring / early Summer 2012. In the meantime you can grab copies of my first two novels in paperback or ebook form.

This year I'll be celebrating the fourth birthday of 'Ben's Country Music Show,' a weekly programme which goes out across the East Midlands and one which has featured guest interviews and sessions from across the UK and Nashville, TN.

I'm always interested in getting involved in new and exciting projects, just like the new online station Brayford Radio, so if you've got a new idea you want to get off the ground get in contact!
