Levelle G. Benson’s transformation from daydreamer to novelist mirrors the narrative arcs he creates in “Scattered Ashes.” He graduated from the comfort of conformity and set off on a writing adventure into unexplored territory. His early pages, like the many issues his characters face, were a blank canvas splattered with doubt and challenge.

Benson labored under life’s pressures and produced “Scattered Ashes.” Every letter was an exploration of the uncharted, every chapter a head-on collision with skepticism. He found his own voice in this creative fire, crafting tales out of the complexity of love and the frailty of humanity.

His journey took him through both low points of discouragement and high points of inspiration. Like Addison’s decisions in the novel, he stuck with his writing until he reached the satisfying conclusion of his trilogy. Not only is “Scattered Ashes” a literary achievement, but it is also a powerful demonstration of the influence of following one’s heart, overcoming adversity, and telling stories that touch people.
