Autorenporträt
Lochlainn Seabrook is a bestselling author, award-winning scholar, popular nature writer, and a dedicated outdoorsman, whose literary works range from astronomy to zoology. One of the most prolific and popular historians in the world today, he is a Kentucky Colonel, a recipient of the prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal, and the author and editor of over 100 educationally enlightening books for all ages. Described by his readers as "game changers" and "life-altering," his voluminous writings have introduced hundreds of thousands to vital facts that have been left out of our mainstream books. A 7th generation Kentuckian of Appalachian heritage, and a former zoo keeper, ranch hand, and hunting outfitter, Col. Seabrook is a lifelong writer with a 50-year background in science, history, and religion. He is the author of the bestseller "The Concise Book of Owls: A Guide to Nature's Most Mysterious Birds" (endorsed by the World Bird Sanctuary), as well as the monumental reference "North America's Amazing Mammals: An Encyclopedia for the Whole Family"- the world's first scientific animal guide to include an entry on Sasquatch. He lives in the Rocky Mountains where you'll find him writing, hiking, and filming.
