Hiram J. Bertoch (born May 5, 1977) is an American author, best known for writing The Mountain Christians, which was a regional best seller, and An Otter's Guidebook To Being Obnoxiously Happy.

Biography

Bertoch began writing in 1998, mostly for textbook companies. His early works were mainly educational articles and textbook entries. He has a Bachelors degree in Earth Science, and a Masters degree in Biology.[1][2]

In the early 2000’s Bertoch was approached by publishing firm The KidsKnowIt Network and asked to write a series of educational storybooks.[3] These were later translated into Spanish and Portuguese by the Jesuit arm of The Catholic Church and distributed to millions of school children throughout Sao Paulo, Brazil and Central America.[4]

In 2012 Bertoch wrote his first full novel titled The Mountain Christians, which sold approximately 15,000 copies mainly in Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, and pockets of California. The book reached regional best seller status in the Spring of 2013, and gained Bertoch a loyal following in the United States.

In late 2016 Bertoch wrote his first national best seller, which was titled An Otter's Guidebook To Being Obnoxiously Happy. In addition to these two best sellers, Bertoch has written a number of storybooks, and novellas that have sold to smaller audiences.

Bertoch lives with his wife and seven children in Hunter, Utah.[5]
