Ben McPherson is a highly accomplished television producer, director, and writer. He studied Modern Languages at King’s College, Cambridge, and has since enjoyed a successful career in the film and television industry. From 1998 to 2007, McPherson worked as a director and producer for the BBC, where he no doubt honed his storytelling skills and learned the intricacies of producing high-quality television programming.
McPherson’s personal life is as interesting as his professional one. In 1998, he met the woman who would become his wife at the Coach and Horses in Soho. While there may be similarities between this chance encounter and the characters in his novel, A Line of Blood, McPherson insists that the parallels end there. His ability to weave elements of his own life into his fiction, however, adds a level of authenticity and depth to his writing that readers are sure to appreciate.
In addition to his work in television, McPherson is also a talented writer of fiction. He is fluent in Norwegian and currently resides in Oslo with his wife and son. In 2012, McPherson covered the Breivik trial for TheForeigner.no, demonstrating his versatility as a writer and his commitment to exploring important social and political issues. Today, he is a columnist for Aftenposten, Norway’s leading quality daily newspaper, where he continues to share his insights and perspectives with a wide audience.
