Award-winning author to speak at LCCC

Lehigh Carbon Community College hosts award-winning author Marty Essen at 6 p.m. April 13, as he presents his multimedia show, “Around the World in 90 Minutes.” The free event will be held in the Scheller-Woodman Community Services Center at LCCC’s main campus in Schnecksville.

Essen’s show features interesting facts, humorous stories and thousands of photos he took traveling the world for his first book, “Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents.”

Essen is an Amazon No.1 best-selling author, who has won multiple book awards for travel/essay writing.

Essen’s newest book, “Endangered Edens: Exploring the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Costa Rica, the Everglades, and Puerto Rico,” was published in January and is already an Amazon No. #1 Hot New Release in five different categories.

He will be signing copies of his new book after the show.
