​Stories Should Say Something

    They may entertain you, or make you laugh, or make you forget or make you remember. They may make you think in a way you've not thought of before, or recently. They may help you remember a memory you wish you'd never forgotten. They may stir you to reach out, to dig inside, to broaden your horizon or to narrow your focus. They may make you a better person, or more humble saint, or a gracious receiver, or a penitent sinner.

     Stories, after all, should say something.

Reader Comments:

  • Simply Unputdownable
  • His incredibly descriptive visuals, plot twists and turns, and character development are like no other!!
  • The book is a fast-paced thriller, with some very dark undertones.
  • Ben shows a deep understanding of the human condition
  • This is a young adult horror/thriller. It really does echo the writing style and plotlines of RL Stine.
  • Sharpton creates a cast of characters that are real and likable, (and some not so likable) then he puts them a setting almost anyone can relate to, then he pulls the rug out from under you.
  • This is the kind of rare thriller that I love--one that grabs you on page one and won't let you go until the satisfying conclusion

Bio

Picture
    “Tell stories.” It's one of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever received. Stories inspire people to grow and expand their horizons. They entertain. They challenge. They comfort. Simply put, they make life much better.
     I’ve been telling stories all my life. When I worked with youth years ago, I told stories that helped them understand, learn and develop. Later, as a corporate training manager I used stories to demonstrate examples, to encourage better business practices and to stimulate learning. As an online college professor I found stories to be instrumental in challenging people to think and comprehend.
     Today I continue to tell stories. You’ll find them in my nonfiction curriculum books and all of my award-winning novels. My hope is you’ll enjoy my stories and share them with your friends.
     Then, tell your own stories. It’s a great piece of advice.
