ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Brandon Seyl
Brandon Seyl never saw himself as a writer.
It started with a sea turtle conservation trip in Costa Rica in 2023, and a moment at Kennedy Space Center where his daughter Georgia looked up and said: “Daddy, turtles can’t fly to space.”
He deployed shortly after for 365 days with one goal — publish his first children’s book before coming home. He did. That book, The Curious Turtle Who Flew to Space, now has 22 reviews and a 4.7-star rating.
He has since published two more books and is at work on his first psychological thriller.
