S.
Sëan Tretheway was born
in Inglewood,
California. When he was
seven, he caught the
magic bug and performed
as Sëando the Magician,
charging fifty cents a
show.
At
the age of twenty he
helped build a cement
boat with his sister and
brother-in-law, Roxanne
and Jeannot, in their
backyard, which they
then sailed from Los
Angeles to Tahiti.
After
six months island
hopping in the South
Pacific, Sëan moved on
to New Zealand, where he
spent another six months
hitch-hiking the North
Island.
In 1977, Sëan came to
Australia to continue
his adventure.
In
1983, he found Noosa and
realized that his
childhood hobby as
magician could earn him
a full-time living.
Sëan has been
entertaining residents
and visitors to Noosa
for twenty-five years.
During this time he
entertained thousands of
visitors from all over
the world. He has also
been flown all over
Australia for corporate
functions and television
spots, as well as a six
week stint in Japan.
For seven years, Sëan
produced and presented a
radio program for Noosa
Community Radio which
focused on the local
music scene.
Sëan
has two sons, Alex and
James who are hip-hop
musicians.
In 2005, Sëan decided to
pursue another dream and
write a book, which he
completed in thirty days
by following a unique
system devised by Chris
Baty (www.nanowrimo.com).
Sëan spent the next
three years rewriting
and editing the book,
shaping and creating the
final version of The
Roadless Traveller,
which was released in
early February, 2008.
For
the next three years,
Sëan travelled,
performed magic and had
many adventures all the
while completing Beyond
The Road
- the stand alone sequel
to The Roadless
Traveller.
Sëan got rid of most of
his 'stuff', moved into
his van (named
'Beyond'), and became
the Roadless Traveller -
adventuring around the
country, performing
magic (www.thenoosamagician.com),
and promoting his book
wherever he went!
In
2013, Sëan found himself
house-sitting at a
writer's paradise called
Pheasantville.
He was called to write
another book and started
The Road to the Heart.
After another four
years of re-writing and
a professional edit by
Joanne Lance, it is now
available for sale.
Sëan still lives in
Noosa, rides his bike to
the beach every day and
performs magic regularly
around town and all over
Australia. He also has a
podcast on which he
talks to various
Roadless Travellers he encounters
on his adventures. You
