About Dan Sheehan
Before becoming a writer, I served twelve years in the Marine Corps.
After two tours in Iraq—the first as an AH-1W cobra pilot,
and second as a special operations forward air controller,
I left the relative calm of life in the Marines for the chaos of staying home to raise our two young savages. I’m joking. A little.
Between frantic lunges to block little fingers from electrical sockets and dog butts, I wrote After Action, my memoir of the 2003 Invasion of Iraq, followed by Continuing Actions, a guidebook for veterans coming home from war.
Now that the kids are in their tweens, I’m working on a series of adult fantasy novels (relax mom, not that kind of adult fantasy) and counting the days until my wife retires to save me from the storm of teenage angst that I can already see brewing on the horizon.
If I’m not writing, or on the phone with the school principal, I’m probably surfing or spearfishing in Southern California.
