Benjamin Laskin grew up in Phoenix, Arizona. He has traveled extensively and lived in a number of countries, including many years in Hamamatsu, Japan, where he taught English and wrote. Benjamin can now be found sauntering through the maze of narrow, stony alleyways in the ancient and legend-rich town of Safed, in Israel's upper Galilee, where he is currently at work on his next novel.
Benjamin is the author of five novels. The first two are the inspiring adventures, 'Stormer's Pass,' and its fun-filled and exciting sequel, 'Say Uncle.' The third novel is 'The Will,' a motivating and humorous story about determination, self-renewal, and achieving the impossible. The fourth book is the epic, genre-bending fantasy, 'Shooting Eros.' His latest book is 'Murphy's Luck,' a whimsical, romantic-comedy that shows how rotten luck can be better than no luck at all.
