ⓘ About Sean McFate

Early and Personal Life Growing up Sean McFate would always have a strong passion for both reading and writing, something which he harnessed from an early age. Constantly learning and educating himself, he would continue this education throughout his life, continually working on his ideas and material. It was this that he would also put back into his novels, as he was always on the lookout for inspiration and new ideas. Concentrating on strategy and national defence, he would gain a highly focused and very specific educational background. This would provide him with the in-depth knowledge needed when writing his novels and creating his ever unique stories. It would also give him the foundations required for much of his writing, as he would also go on to finish a PhD in the subject as well.
