Brandon M. Stickney is a biographer, documentarian and journalist.

A native of Lockport, New York, with a B.A. from the University at Buffalo, he has appeared in Time, the Associated Press, USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, on A&E, the History Channel, NPR and every major news network.

He is the author of ALL-AMERICAN MONSTER: The Unauthorized Biography of Timothy McVeigh (Prometheus Books, 1996) --- in print 22 years --- and THE AMAZING SEVEN SUTHERLAND SISTERS: A Biography of America’s First Celebrity Models (Niagara History Center, 2012).

His first book was made into documentaries for A&E, Court TV, FilmRise and truTV. His second book is a Travel Channel documentary for “Mysteries at the Museum.” He is also the author of THE HOUSE THE BEATLES BUILT: A Memoir of My Time Working for Geoffrey Giuliano.

Stickney’s experience as a biographer, perspective on American incarceration, and his role in the underground world of opiate addiction make him uniquely qualified to write THE FIVE PEOPLE YOU'LL MEET IN PRISON, his memoir of prison friendship, recovery and societal reform.
