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 the USA promoting my second novel Walking on Cinders.

I'm very excited to be spending five months in the United States, studying on a Mass Communications course, speaking about my novel at events and book clubs and interviewing Country Music stars from Nashville.

From Minnesota I'll be broadcasting my regular Country Music Show that goes out across the East Midlands, as well as on KMSC Wednesday's 4.30-6.00pm (Central Time).

If you're planning on being in Nashville, 7 - 11 November, drop me an email. Tell me the artists I shouldn't miss and the places I should definitely visit as a card-carrying Country Music fan. If you're going to be there, perhaps we can even meet up?

Looking forward to your company!
