Welcome to the Lowther Legacy Library.

Come on in.

This is a place where stories, memories, and knowledge are preserved, shared, and passed from one generation to the next.

And if you’ve arrived here from the Lupus-Sucks Esplanade, you are especially welcome.

The Lowther Legacy Library houses books written by members of the Lowther family. Many are out of print, while others have been reprinted and may still be found through Amazon or online used bookstores.

Among them are books written by my father, George Lowther.

Dad wrote the original Superman novel, introducing Superman’s parents for the first time. He also wrote and directed many of the scripts for the original Superman radio program.

And then there’s the story of Kryptonite. Dad was part of the team involved in its creation — or, as family history tells it, perhaps even more than that. I’ll share that story in a future addition to the website.

My brother, Kevin Lowther, is an author as well. Two of his books are still in print. His third, Keeping Kennedy’s Promise, is out of print—and if you happen to find a copy, you may have discovered something quite rare.

And then there’s me.

Sean Lowther.

I’m the youngest and curator for our library, and I’ve written three books, with a fourth on the way. You’ll learn more about them as you travel along the Esplanade Path—which, more than likely, is how you found your way here.

But the Esplanade is about more than books.

Over the last two decades, I have been my Patty’s (Lupus) caregiver and advocate, as well as Board Chair of the Lupus Foundation of America, North Carolina Chapter. Each week, I’ll share insights about lupus — suggestions, stories, and ideas for living with lupus and other autoimmune diseases, along with guidance for caregivers, advocates, and loved ones who walk beside them.

We’ll also hear from rheumatologists and other medical specialists who will share their knowledge and experience specifically regarding lupus. 

I’ve walked this path. So, wherever you are in your journey, come walk with me.

Welcome to the Lowther Legacy Library.

And welcome to the Lupus-Sucks Esplanade.
