description: Joseph A. Sheehan is 85. He has written for publication more or less continuously for more than 60 years, beginning in 1946 on a newspaper in Macon, GA. Born in Eureka, CA, he was the eldest son and second child in a family of 13 children. At 18, he enlisted in the Amy and served in North Africa, Europe, India, China and Burma as a radio operator/mechanic and a rigger/lineman. After World War II, he attended the then-San Jose State College, graduating with a degree in journalism. He has worked on newspapers, in the aerospace industry, as an anti-poverty program director, and in state government as an information officer, while working part time for newspapers. After leaving state service, he worked as a newspaper copy editor for four years, finally retiring in 1991. He has since free-lanced as writer and editor. He has a daughter and three grandchildren from his first marriage, of 45 years, and lives with his second wife in suburban Sacramento. An earlier book, Sheehan Shenanigans, appeared in 2008.
