Hey, everyone. I'm so happy to release my first bit of free content for you all. I wrote the short story "Crossroads" exclusively for TheBenSchafer.com, and it's a great way for you to get a feel for my writing style and characters. So check it out under the Free Stuff page and download the .pdf. I hope you like it, and I really hope you tell all your friends about it. For those paying close attention, I have also added a release window for SON OF SYRIA on the Books page. I hope to have this window narrowed to a specific date very soon. Until then, enjoy "Crossroads" and keep checking back for more updates.
