Autorenporträt
Born, raised, and educated in Lincoln, Nebraska USA, Laurel A. Rockefeller's passion for animals comes through in everything she writes. First self-published in 2012 as a social science fiction author (the Peers of Beinan series), Laurel has expanded her work into the animal care/guide, history, historical fiction, and biography genres. But she is best known for her biographies, particularly "His Red Eminence" (2020 Godiva Award winner) and the thirteen biographies (and counting) of the Legendary Women of World History series. Find Laurel's books in digital, paperback, and hardcover in your choice of up to ten languages, including Welsh, Chinese, and Dutch. Audio editions are published in all four available languages: English, French, Spanish, and German. Most of them feature period music performed by actor-musicians. You can also hear Laurel sing on three of the audiobooks. Besides advocating for animals and related environmental causes, Laurel A. Rockefeller is a passionate educator dedicated to improving history literacy worldwide, especially as it relates to women's accomplishments. In her spare time, Laurel enjoys spending time with her cockatiels, travelling to historic places, and watching classic motion pictures and classic television series.
