About Dark Ascensions – Issachon Book 1
Bendahrin lived an uncomplicated life as a collector of rare antiquities. On a whim, and for no reason that he could ever remember, he decided to invite the most powerful, evil sorceress in the galaxy to meet him on her home planet so he could attempt to steal her legendary sword, Bratenla. Instead of killing him outright, in an unexpected and unprecedented act of mercy, she, Alystra, the Destroyer, rescued him. He suddenly found himself trapped on her ship, chasing across the galaxy, helping her to search for and discover the source of the spell that had transformed her into the embodiment of evil. Life with Alystra, for Bendahrin, became tremendously complicated, and potentially deadly.

Author Bio:
I am a father and grandfather, which means that I am old. I have spent most of my life as a teacher, but for my current job, the one that pays the bills, I am a full time writer. For kicks, here's a list of a handful of other jobs I have done – car sales, a librarian at a not-at-all-secret government facility, web designer, videographer, radio producer, and way too many more.
For fun, I play guitar, read a lot, play computer games and board games, and ride my bike as much as I can. I also like to do woodworking and photography as a hobby.
Most importantly, I was told by one of my beta readers who knows me pretty well that both Bendahrin and Alystra sound like me.
So, in order to get to know me, you can read what my characters would say to me.
Bendahrin – "If we're so alike, how come I'm rich and successful and you're twice my age and still trying to figure life out? How can I help?"
Jedra – "The Stream handbook describes people like you as, 'Easy, but not worth the effort as ransom.'"
Mandy – "You taught 7th grade? That's when I wrote my first thesis on the Melman calculations for controlling impossibility angle asymptotic drives. I would have found you fascinating!"
Erin – "Your pathetic lack of determination is what makes you weak. You should have published 30 years ago."
Alystra – "If you write about damaging my ship again, I'll go back in time and erase you."
