BIOGRAPHY  

 


 

 

Lochlainn Seabrook is a published author and writer, antiquarian scholar, encyclopedist, lexicographer, award-winning country music songwriter, musician, thealogian (female-based religion), screenwriter, genealogist, and Civil War docent.

As a professional writer, Lochlainn has authored 12 adult books, ranging in scope from the anthropology of religion, Goddess worship in ancient Anglo-Celtic society, and genealogical monographs, to Civil War ghost stories and cross-cultural studies of the family and marriage.

His eight children's books include a dictionary of religion and myth, a rewriting of the King Arthur legend (which reinstates the original pre-Christian motifs), bedtime stories for pre-schoolers, a naturalist's guidebook to owls, a worldwide look at the family, a scientific investigation of UFOs and aliens, and an examination of the Near-Death Experience.

Lochlainn's articles, interviews, and award-winning poems have been published in various periodicals, including: Modern Psychoanalysis, Skeptical Inquirer, The Anthropology and Humanism Quarterly, The Walford Gazette, Kindred Spirit (UK), and Free Inquiry, and various other publications, such as the Blakeney/Blakely Family Association Newsletter, and the Tutt Family Newsletter.

Born of blue-blooded Southern pioneers, Lochlainn is a direct descendant of European royalty through his Kentucky-born father and his West Virginia-born mother.  The 6th great-grandson of the Earl of Oxford, he is cousins with General Nathan Bedford Forrest, Colonel John Singleton Mosby, General Robert E. Lee, and Sarah Knox Taylor (the daughter of U.S. President Zachary Taylor), the first wife of Confederate President, Jefferson Davis.

Lochlainn is a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV), and the 3rd great-grandson of Elias Jent, Sr., who fought for the Confederacy in the 13th Kentucky Cavalry during the War Against Northern Aggression.  Also known as "Caudill's Army," the 13th was led by Lochlainn's 2nd cousin Col. Benjamin E. Caudill.

Lochlainn is currently working on books on his cousin, famed Rebel cavalryman, General Nathan Bedford Forrest, the McGavocks of Carnton Plantation, and Yankee war myths.

Lochlainn lives in beautiful, historic Middle Tennessee.
