Sean Eads, Writer.
Telling stories since the age of 6.
I’ve always had an impulse to tell stories, to invent characters who would cast a shadow, and to write whatever came to my mind regardless of genre and format.
These days I’m a Colorado-based author and reference librarian, and I’m still telling whatever story interests me—I just go wherever my imagination takes me and try to produce the best tale that I can.
I've been fortunate enough to see my work appear in many terrific places, both online and in print. Some have paid very well, others wouldn't get me a hamburger on the McDonald's Dollar Menu.
All I know is that I am compelled to write, and so I do. I hope you find here a story that you’d like to read. In the meantime, I’ll be writing the next one.
Thanks for stopping by!

I take my writing seriously, but I don’t take myself too seriously.
This blog is proof of that.
Come on in, read some of my less-published material, and please take your shoes off—we just had the blog shampooed.
