Sean Butler was born in Ireland and currently lives in Ballincollig, Cork, with his family. In a previous life, he was a lecturer specialising in international law and human rights, but gave it all up to chase the stories from his head.

Sean writes speculative fiction through a literary lens, focusing on the lives of ordinary people in extraordinary worlds.

Eveningstar, his debut novel, is an exploration of power, compromise and enduring humanity, set in a world colonised and reshaped by Alien rulers.
