Sheehan, author/poet of Saugus, recidivism

Tom Sheehan issued the following press release

Saugus author and poet Tom Sheehan, in his 94th year (SHS class of 1947, Boston College class of 1956), plagued by macular degeneration, with four Boston Globe ideas to date, just got word that Pocol Press has published with incredible honor their ninth and tenth collections of his western books, “The Townsman” and “The Horseman Cometh and Other Stories”.

The release says readers can follow the shotgun with this prolific author as he unleashes new western tales across the prairie in Amazon and Kindle versions. The Saugonian writes moralistic short stories brimming with frothy drinks soaked in local saloons, passionate revenge, romantic sequences and plenty of gunshots. His understanding of the mythical west in America remains as strong as a cowboy’s rope. And somewhere, Tom Mix is ​​smiling.

And a more recent version of Winning Writers editor Adam Cohen says, “It gives me great pleasure to announce that ‘The Saugus Book’ by Tom Sheehan has won first prize in our 2021 poetry competition. He will receive $1,000; a free marketing consultation with Carolyn Howard-Johnson; a $300 credit at Book Baby; a free advertisement in our email newsletter ($175 value); publication of an excerpt of his book at Winning Writers; and an award certificate.”

Sheehan’s book output now stands at 56, 34 by publishers and 22 self-published.
