Born in the city of Fitchburg, Massachusetts, in 1977, Sean Sweeney's love of fantasy began 11 years later when he was handed J.R.R. Tolkien's classic The Hobbit. His passion for writing began in 1993, as a sophomore in high school, when he began to write sports for his local newspaper, the Sentinel & Enterprise.
Since then, he has written for several Massachusetts newspapers, including the Telegram & Gazette of Worcester and the Southbridge Evening News in Southbridge. He has since returned to where it all started, as he came back to the Sentinel in April 2008.
When he is not writing, Sean enjoys playing golf (which he hasn't done in five years), reading, watching movies, Boston sports teams, the Arsenal F.C., the Gold Coast F.C. (Aussie Rules) and playing with his kitten, Caramel the Wonder Cat.
