Benjamin Roesch is author of the young adult novel, Blowin' My Mind Like a Summer Breeze. He has an MFA from Lesley University and is a writer, musician, teacher, podcaster, and award-winning essayist. For twelve glorious, exhausting years, he was a high school English teacher, and is now a full-time writer based in Burlington, VT, where he lives with his wife, sons, and a dog named Shiloh. Oh, and his name is pronounced "Rush," like the band from Canada.
