As a lifelong explorer, sleuth and amateur historian, Sean Poage has travelled the world and worked in a variety of occupations, including soldier, police officer and computer geek. His curiosity about beginnings, journeys and what motivates people drew him to prehistoric linguistics, Neolithic Britain, the ancient Sumerians, Mycenaean Greece and the enigmatic world of the "Dark Ages" in Europe. Discovering that the ancient origins of "King Arthur" and his knights were far more interesting than the well-known stories written centuries later, Sean's research took him deep into the history and legends of the Arthurian Age. What began as a mental exercise examining one promising theory resulted in his ground-breaking novel, The Retreat to Avalon. The second book in the series, The Strife of Camlan, will carry on from the events of the first book, while the final book, The Three Terrible Revelations, will take us back to the beginning of the Arthurian Age and answers the remaining mysterious questions. Sean is a graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Networking from Regis University in Denver, Colorado. When he isn't writing, Sean works as an IT manager and enjoys spending time with his wife, Jennifer, and their blended family of four children, a cat and a dog in Maine, USA.
