Ben Tyler Elliott is the author of the debut novel Sifting Through Static,
which was written on breaks, at red lights, and during too many after-midnights. 

Whenever he isn't writing or reading, he can likely be found riding his bicycle, baking bread, petting a dog, or wallowing in Wikipedia's quieter corners.

He holds a master's degree in English literature, and his research explored the symbiotic relationships between allegory, angst, and the subversive narrative. 

He's a lifelong fan of Major League Baseball's San Francisco Giants, and, as such, his second favorite team is whoever is playing the Los Angeles Dodgers today.

In late 2014, he (accidentally) broke his own arm—no impact, no fall, all Ben. 
This feat, though eye-witnessed by over thirty adults, is still rarely believed. 

He lives in San Francisco.
