The Many Revenges of Kip Flynn

The Girls Who Saw Everything was critically acclaimed – it made the Quill & Quire's top ten list for 2007 and was in the Top 40 books being considered for CBC's Canada Reads series. It didn't sell enormous numbers, but that was likely a result of how difficult it was to describe the book. This one doesn't have that problem. Sean's first book was published in the U.K. (HarperCollins) and the U.S. (Other Press) under the title The Last Days of the Lacuna Cabal (9781590513125), and translated into Romanian. Romanian rights have already been sold for this novel. Sean also has two YA titles in print, The Feathered Cloak and The Winter Drey (Key Porter). They've done reasonably well. Kip is a young anarchist, who makes her money doing fire-breathing shows and selling black roses. Pat York, her nemesis, is the son of a rich developer; he makes his money running people like Kip out of their apartments and redeveloping the buildings, and erecting office towers. So it's got a class-war vibe too.
