    • About Me

    I am as far underground and outside the margins as a writer can be. I won the 2009 Eric Hoffer Award for Excellence in Independent Publishing for the biography “Gattorno: A Cuban Painter For The World”, as well as first place in the 2009 New England Book Fair & first place at the 2008 London Book Fair Fine Art Genre.
    In 2012 published my first poetry chapbook “Words Are My Paint” a picture book of hymns from the First Church of The Last Resort. This collection of poetry and drawings was culled from a series of notebooks, journals and clipboards, obsessively filled for 4 decades. One of the featured poems, ‘The Ice Cream Mantra’ was selected for inclusion in “Who’s Who In American Poetry”. "Aftermath" was published in the anthology 'America At The Millenium".
    Born in New York City raised in Southern California. I have traveled from border to border & coast-to-coast most of my adult life. I write poetry, plays, scripts, short stories, magazine articles, advertising copy, press releases & artists’ monographs.
    I am an author, musician and director. I’ve had a wide variety of esoteric jobs and several careers. Voice-over artist. Major market radio personality. Director of short dramatic & educational videos. I produce, direct & perform in everything from classical commedia del arte to live action-adventure stunt shows.

    I live in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

    Why do you write?

    I write to avoid having a real job.

    Sally Houtman – Jan 07, 2012

    Sean, your words on "Windows" touched me. "Unflinching' is a perfect description. If I was going to write this, I knew that was exactly what it had to be. Thank you for your kind words and thanks to speech software which brought those words to me!

    Sean- Thanks so much for taking the time to read Conversation from a Lunch Counter and offer a comment and encouragement. Eavesdropping can provide amazing material for reflection and writing!

    Sally Houtman – Dec 31, 2011

    Hi, Sean -
    Just figured out how to write on someone's wall. Technologically challenged, me. Thanks for your comments on "Gunman" - so glad you liked it. I'm partial to the dark and slightly twisted. I enjoy your work as well. Offbeat and refreshing. Look forward to more.

    Sylvia Petter – Dec 31, 2011

    Thanks for your words on The Frozen Tear, Sean.

    Michael Gillan Maxwell – Dec 27, 2011

    Thanks so much for the time in reading and commenting on That'd Kill Ol' Bob. Really appreciate it! I am afraid I may reveal too much about where I've spent too much of my time. Every word of this is true. But - you know what they say - truth is often stranger than fiction!

    Michael Gillan Maxwell – Dec 27, 2011

    Thanks for taking the time to read and comment on Buffalo Bob and the Honey Dipper. Grateful and appreciative. Funny how some of life's most difficult experiences become the very fiber that holds the whole damn tapestry together!

    Joani Reese – Dec 27, 2011

    Hi Sean: Thank you for hunting down and liking my poem "El Dias de los Muertos." I have been tethered to Mexico and its traditions for thirty years. I love its strangeness, and I'm glad some bits of it resonated with you. Thanks and welcome!

    David Maverick – Dec 24, 2011

    Sean - Your comments on my work are very much appreciated and very generous, especially "The coded feather in the glass". Thank you very much indeed. Although I don't often see it myself, others have remarked how the imagery appears to take on the form of a painting. Thanks again and Merry Christmas to you and yours.

    Sylvia Petter – Dec 21, 2011

    Thank you for reading The Burka, and for your words, Sean.

    Michael J. Solender – Dec 20, 2011

    Ed Higgins – Dec 19, 2011

    hey, sean, thanx for your nice comment on “Santa’s stuck” & my “Remembering Ginsberg” poems. Gotta a kick outa of your own Xmas send-up poem. And much ago read with delight a flash piece with a title something like “contemplates her pussy”—which was very wry & hilarious, but i didn’t post at the time & now the piece seems to have disappeared. Anyway, always nice to follow up on Fictionaut folks that comment on my stuff & to discover new engaging writers.
