book review joshua palmatierBenjamin Tate is a penname of fantasy author Joshua Palmatier. He was born in North-Central Pennsylvania and is currently a mathematics professor living near Endicott, NY, teaching at a local college. He began writing seriously in graduate school, using his fantasy world as an escape from the stress. In addition to writing epic fantasy, he teaches spin classes at the local gym, collects crackle glass, and has a roof garden threatening to take over the roof. His goals in life are to travel Europe, sail the Mediterranean, visit Australia, and preside over a small kingdom from a castle on a hill while occasionally bombarding the villagers below with catapult fire.
