Writers bio:
Tom Brosnahan's travels began when he joined the US Peace Corps in 1967. He went to Turkey to teach English and ended up writing his first guidebook, Frommer's 'Turkey on $5 a Day'.

His second guide to the country, Lonely Planet's 'Turkey', is now the best-seller to the destination in English. He has also written guides to Belize, Canada, Egypt, England, France, Guatemala, Israel, Mexico, Morocco, New England (USA) and Tunisia. Two of his guides and two websites have won SATW Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism awards. His humorous travel memoir, 'Turkey: Bright Sun, Strong Tea' was published in August 2004. He's currently working on a guidebook to the long-gone Seljuk Turkish Empire of Rum.
