    About this ebook

    A demonic observer watches on as young Ashley drifts through life in sadness and despair. Seemingly cursed to be used by others and ignored by those whom she seeks attention, her world appears to hold no purpose for the future. But as the demon looks closer, it discovers that a poisoned past may be responsible rather than a soul of weakness. Perhaps it was too quick to judge?

    Continue her story in Into the Mind of Pennywell: Plight of the Fallen.

    Author

    Paul Besancon

    Paul Besancon was born and raised in Northern California. He spends his leisurely time hiking, playing video games, watching shows with the love of his life Jara, and writing books that usually involve some form of demons and angels duking it out. When he’s not constantly chasing after his receding hairline, he’s usually on his computer furiously working away. His goal as a writer is simply to entertain. Although his work may have a (hopefully subtle) message or point here and there, he doesn’t wish to change the world, preach to the masses or push some sociopolitical agenda; he just wants to bring a tear to your eye, a smile to your face and a laugh to your belly. We all need an escape every now and then, hopefully he can bring one to you.
