SEAN HAGERTY

Sean Hagerty is an author and retired Special Operations Soldier with over 25 years of experience. He spent his younger years training and conducting combat operations with the 1st of the 75th Ranger Regiment. After nine years, in 2005 he was selected for and assigned to a Special Operations unit at Fort Belvoir Virginia. There he spent sixteen years and finished his military career, retiring as a Sergeant Major. He is currently the Senior Advisor to the Department of Defense Science Board in the Pentagon.

Sean’s love for writing began in the cold mountains of Afghanistan, the dusty deserts of Iraq, and the plains of Africa. He would write short stories for his daughters, so they knew he was thinking of them while he was far away from home. Over the years, the time for writing playful fairytales passed, and he was ready to tell a deeper, more complex story for a wider audience. Thus, Jones Point was born. Sean Hagerty combined his years of service in the Special Operations community and deep-rooted research instincts from years of academic pursuits in history to write his debut novel. Jones Point is a story written on D.C. commuter buses heading to the Pentagon, plane flights, car rides, and even his pontoon boat as he drifted along the Potomac. It finally came together with quiet evening edits in the small river town of Occoquan Virginia. Jones Point will be available across all platforms in April 2024.
