BJK White

BJK, or Benjamin Joseph Kuniyoshi (or simply Ben) White is the tea-powered indie author of what he likes to call 'books'. Or what I like to call 'books', because I'm already sick of referring to myself in the third person. Let's refresh ourselves with a new paragraph, shall we?

Oh, hello! You came with me, I wasn't sure if you would or not. I write in the genre of 'YA that's also for grown-ups who like YA'. It's a niche, I admit. Most of my stories also fall squarely into the sub-sub-genre of 'girls kicking arse', not just because Girls Need Role Models but also because, well, I just like writing strong female characters. Girls are more fun. Also, Commander Shepard is a woman, I have no idea where these bizarre rumours about Shepard being a man came from.

Now, let's get listy-listing! These are the books I've published (or will publish), by series:

Miya Black Pirate Princess - The story of a girl who would do anything to protect her home.

I: Adventure Dawns

II: Freedom & Responsibility

III: Fractured Lives

IV: This Impossible World, This Impossible Girl

V: Every Glorious Tomorrow (TBR 2012)

Charlotte Powers - The diary of fifteen year-old would-be Greatest Superhero Charlotte Powers. (Alternately, "An odd combination of stream-of-conscious anxieties and high-flying save-the-world goals written by an overzealous, naïve teenaged girl in her wristwatch computer diary".)

1 - Power Down

2 - Power Play

3 - Hidden Power

4 - Rising Power (TBR 2012)

5 - Power Overwhelming (TBR 2012)

Resonance - Dark fantasy ensemble thing about young people gaining powers in a vaguely post-apocalyptic world.

Book One: Birds Of Passage

Book Two: Against Darker Days (TBR 2012)

Book Three: Blood For Blood (TBR 2013)

Imogen Shroud - Gloomy girl fights depression, zombies.

1 - The Undying Apathy Of Imogen Shroud

2 - The Enduring Unlife Of Imogen Shroud (TBR 2012)

Other Books

The Boy & Little Witch - Whimsically charming (and charmingly whimsical) tale of two best friends and their journey across a lonely land in search of their stolen headwear.

Future Projects

Bright Battle Story: Tactics Heart - In essence, the story of how one Obstinate Neutral dwarven rogue decides to Take On The System and put her team of seemingly useless, low-tier characters up against high-tier teams. Less of a parody of Role Playing Games and wargames, more of an underdog sports story except with an SRPG setting rather than baseball or whatever. I won't lie; I am in love with this story.

Injuring Eternity (provisional title) - Something of a love letter to Sapphire and Steel and Doctor Who and other great British scifi TV shows. Involves timey-wimey stuff as well as themes of loss, determinism, loneliness, inevitability and so forth.

Linky-links to my books' Amazon pages are on some of those sites, too. I'm focusing on e-publishing right now, so if you have a Kindle or similar, well, ho ho, eh? Ho ho! Hem hem hem hah! And let's say no more about it.
