Some stories write themselves. Others refuse to end.

Cooper Bishop had a future once. Literary darling. Critical darling. Darling of no one anymore. Now he’s a burnout ghostwriter drowning in debt, regret, and whatever’s in the bottom of his next bottle. His most personal novel — Devil May Care — was the one story he could never finish. And the one story he swore no one would ever see.

But someone saw it. Someone sold it. Now, it’s a book. A film. A franchise. And Cooper is left staring at a version of his life that doesn’t belong to him.

With a storm raging outside and demons closing in within, Cooper sits at his typewriter for one last shot: to reclaim his voice, to rewrite the wreckage, to finish the story before the story finishes him.

What begins as an attempt at redemption spirals into something stranger — a metaphysical road trip through memory, obsession, love lost, and the surreal mirror-world between truth and fiction. Haunted by old lovers, estranged daughters, fast-talking agents, and a manuscript that’s always one step ahead, Cooper begins to suspect the truth isn’t just on the page.

It’s in who’s holding the pen.

Bold, immersive, and unflinchingly honest, Devil May Care is Adaptation by way of Leaving Las Vegas. A literary mind-bender about creation, consequence, and the ghosts we carry inside us — especially the ones we write down.

Sean Platt has always been an entrepreneur but knew he'd rather tell stories. When his wife bought him a laptop for his birthday in 2007, he dropped everything to start writing fiction.

Since making the leap, Sean has written hundreds of novels (including the international best-sellers Yesterday's Gone and Invasion), penned dozens of scripts, and founded the IP Incubator Sterling & Stone, where more than thirty storytellers work together to create world-changing IP. Sterling & Stone's stable of writers come to Sean for ideas, mentorship, and “better words.”

Originally from Long Beach, California, Sean now lives in Austin, Texas with his wife and dog, Fisher.

Author. Disruptor. Unicorn Rider

I'm the author of Fat Vampire (which became SyFy's Reginald the Vampire), plus 100+ books across most genres. My books are layered, intelligent, and often funny. I love what I do, never cut corners, and would rather earn 10 true fans than sell 10,000 copies.
