About the author

Sean Sweeney’s love of reading began in 1988, when he was handed J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic The Hobbit, and was given a needed reading boost with John Grisham novels and the Star Wars Expanded Universe in the 1990s. His passion for writing began in 1993, as a sophomore in high school, when he began writing sports for his local newspaper. Born and raised in North Central Massachusetts in 1977, Sweeney has written for several newspapers and radio stations. Since then, Sean has written upward of 29 novels along with a handful of novellas and short stories.

When he is not writing, he enjoys reading, watching Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, along with British mysteries and Doctor Who, the New England Revolution, and Arsenal F.C.

Sean lives in Fitchburg, Massachusetts with his wife and their four cats, Finn, Diva, Squeaky, and Spooky.
