John Benson

John Benson is a native Minnesotan who grew up in Northeast Minneapolis and graduated from the University of Minnesota and St. Thomas University. He wrote his first book, Swan Scream, after a chance discovery of a rusty 1934 license plate, and later authored subsequent books including Scout Scream, Swan Dive, and Sweet Serendipity from Darkness into Light. His writings are set in the first half of the 1900s and reflect the economic and historical events of that period.
