In April 2005, in recognition of remarkable sales figures in London's Royal Bookshop, Hatchards, Piccadilly, Sean was named one of Hatchard's Authors of the Year - and attended a ceremony in London where he met fellow Authors of the Year, Andrew Marr, Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer, younger brother of Diana, Princess of Wales, and writing legends Jaqueline Wilson and PD James.
