Todd Easterling

Todd Easterling is a San Diego, California businessperson and author, originally discovered by the acclaimed Pinder Lane Garon-Brooke Literary Agency, of John Grisham fame. In addition to writing novels, Todd has worked with HBO, Disney, Time Warner, and other entertainment and technology companies, a key highlight being the reception of an Emmy from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Todd's literary influences include F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Dan Brown, Nicholas Evans, Nicholas Sparks, John Grisham, Mark Twain, and many others. Todd's personal interests include environmental concerns, animal rights and de-extinction, technology, history, and the arts. He is an adoption advocate and "daughter expert," with eighteen-year-old twins and a twenty-two-year-old daughter who came to America from Russia when she was two.

Most recently, Todd completed Genetic World, his latest book—a sweeping epic novel of 440,000 words encompassing real history, real science, and a narrative arc that balances interesting facts with high concept suspense. Todd takes a big swing with Genetic World—clearly aiming at the religious intrigue reminiscent of Dan Brown’s Robert Langdon series (The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons, Inferno, Origin) while looping in the suspenseful science-driven storytelling that was the hallmark of the late great Michael Crichton’s work in 1990's Jurassic Park and his 1973 film Westworld. Todd's previous books, The Miracle Man and The First Witness, appeared on eight Best Seller lists, and in the top 1% of all Amazon books for over four years (ebook editions). The Miracle Man surpassed sales of some of Nicholas Sparks' ebooks, and The First Witness surpassed sales of several of Tom Clancy's ebooks in the first months of release.

Todd's novels have been influenced by experts who kindly provided technical input, such as Sir Ian Wilmut (first scientist to clone a mammal/Dolly the sheep), and Dr. Raul Cano, the scientist who extracted dinosaur DNA from ancient amber—which helped encourage the late great Michael Crichton to write Jurassic Park. Nobel Prize (2020) winning geneticist Jennifer Doudna also kindly provided input on CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing—biotechnology featured in Genetic World, and the focus of acclaimed writer Walter Isaacson's The Code Breaker (Simon & Schuster New York Times Bestseller released March 9, 2021).
