A NEW VISITOR’S guide to my website

WELCOME! My name is Donald Paul Benjamin. I’m a novelist, journalist, cartoonist, and photographer. I’m a member of the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers, a regional group of authors based in Denver. However, I live on the Western Slope of Colorado about as far from the teeming metropolis of Denver as I can get without falling into Utah. It’s rural country with lakes, rivers, and streams; mountains, mesas, and valleys; cattle, sheep, and sheep dogs; apples, peaches, cherries, and corn. And breathtaking vistas.

Here’s a link to my current resume: Donald Paul Benjamin
