Bear Pardun is an avid writer, runner and gamer currently residing in Phoenix, Arizona. He gives credit for his dreams and talents and life to God who is the author of life and from whom all good things come (James 1:17). 

When he was a young adult mucking stalls in Ohio, he would look forward to imaginary worlds of dnd and battle tech. In his 30's he found himself in Prescott, Arizona working for Home Depot with close friends who would not only play intense games of DnD on the weekend and WOW on weeknights but also listen to his grand ideas blossoming about the world of Latera. 

A wife and 2 boys later, Bear juggles being a stay at home dad and the sole do-er of laundry for a family of four and dreaming, writing and growing his ideas. 

The first book, Battle of Lindly will always hold a special place in his heart as he hopes to honor his dad's memory and leave a legacy of his love for his own children with this story of father and son. However, this is only the beginning, just a glimpse into the world he has created and he hopes readers love it as much as he does.
