Sean Patrick Sayers

Sean Patrick Sayers is a writer, teacher, and sailor whose work blends history, myth, and lived experience. He is the author of Hoplite Ridge, a myth-infused military science fiction epic praised as “a rare combination of mythic storytelling and military tension.” His narrative history, Black Meridian, traces four centuries of piracy and empire. D. Donovan of Midwest Book Review calls it “a sweeping history of piracy and pirates” written with vivid language and deep research. Sayers also writes short fiction that explores family, fear, and survival through stories shaped by his life as a teacher, sailor, and father. His forthcoming novel Child of the Marsh God, inspired in part by his own childhood, follows a boy stranded on a marsh island and forced to endure hardship and transformation. He lives and teaches in Maryland, and a portion of all royalties is donated to families facing pediatric cancer. Learn more at sean patrick sayers . com
