RUDOLF STOCK

Rudolf W Stock grew up in Schöningen am Elm, Germany—a location that made worldwide archaeological headlines in 1995/1996 with a sensational discovery: eight pristine wooden throwing spears and hundreds of animal bones dating back 300,000 years. These deep historical roots and a lifelong fascination with the lives of our Paleolithic ancestors profoundly shaped him, forming the ultimate foundation for his novels. His own life path reflects a similar spirit of adventure and determination. In 1985, he emigrated to Norway, where he returned to school to earn a technical diploma. In 1997, he took his next major leap, moving from Norway to sunny Florida, where he found his new home. Just a year later, in 1998, he founded his own company in Orlando. He has operated the business successfully ever since, earning more than 22 prestigious awards for excellence in his field. Today, in his adopted home, he merges technical precision with his lifelong passion for archaeology, bringing the distant prehistoric past vividly to life for his readers.
