Sean E. Reavie is an acclaimed best-selling and award-winning author of both fiction and non-fiction books. Winner of the 2026 Literary Excellence Award for storytelling from the International Impact Book Awards, each of his books are award winners in their categories and four of them debuted as #1 bestselling new releases.
"A Frenchie Tail 2- Perfectly Able" is the 7th book in Sean's growing portfolio.
A follow-up to the National #1 best-selling "A Frenchie Tail-Different is Beautiful" Sean brings back the incredible Christa Saul and tells her story of resilience. As with the first book, Sean uses ALL REAL French Bulldogs to tell Christa's story.
Last year, Sean asked Christa how long she had been confined to her wheelchair. Her answer gave Sean a newfound worldview and inspired him to write the entire story in less than two hours. The book is beautifully illustrated by Cyn Shepard.
Sean released books #5 and #6 simultaneously with his latest children's series, "Petey the Pocket Protector" in both full color and larger format coloring book.
The book sees a pint sized Petey jumping into the pocket of the rascal, Herbie, and keeping him from trouble as they make their way through a city park.
Meeting friends Timmy and Janey along the way, Petey teaches gun safety, stranger danger, good touch, bad touch, and to be aware of your surroundings.
So on point is the message the State of Arizona approved the book for readings to kindergarten through third grade classes.
The books both debuted as the #1 new release in their categories.
Sean's fourth book, "Mel Martin an American Success Story" was Sean's 4th consecutive #1 Best Selling new release. The book tells the astonishing story of Mel Martin, who opened his own garage at age 17 with a tow truck he built, turning that one small garage into a business empire. Mel is one of the largest commercial real estate owners in Arizona.
Mel's personal car collection (more than 250) is housed in the Martin Automotive Museum and Event Center.

Sean's first book, "Rebel Without a Clue" was a labor of love as it tells the story of Sean's father, the late Edward K. Reavie, one of the greatest auto show promotors in the world. Reviews of the book are astonishing, with top automotive minds calling it the best documentation of automotive history in the last 50 years.
"Rebel Without a Clue" hit #1 in three categories on Amazon. After six weeks, "Rebel" displaced "Shelby American" as the #1 National Bestselling automotive book.
