Egan Sanders is a life coach, lecturer, teacher, event organizer, dedicated environmentalist and author whose writings have appeared in several publications. Egan develops and presents personal and spiritual growth workshops across the United States and Internationally. Assisting others with discovering tools to grow personally and spiritually is his passion. The Magic Box is his first book.

Born in New Rochelle, New York, Egan later moved to South Florida at age 11. As a teenage he began writing and making films. After attending the University of Florida, and then later participating in the film program at New York University, Egan made the decision to leave college at age 19 to fully explore philosophy and religion. While working in the financial, medical and telecommunications fields, he immersed himself in deep spiritual study and practice.

Over a ten year period Egan wrote a great deal and experienced some success. Although his first novel was never published, and a subsequent screenplay never produced, some of his poetry and articles began to appear in magazines. In 1996, during a short hiatus from work, he wrote the first draft of The Magic Box. The book was a blending of spiritual and motivational ideas presented in a story format. The original draft was written in a two week period. After little interest was shown by publishers, Egan put the manuscript away.

Several more years passed. Egan became a personal and spiritual growth workshop facilitator, organized a wide variety of consciousness raising events, wrote a monthly self help newsletter, and became interested in ecology. To combat global warming, Egan created a character named Bagonaut and organized the “Big Bag” event in 2007. Donned in a suit made of canvas, Bagonaut was lowered by crane into Bigbag1, the world’s largest canvas shopping bag, and remained there for 24 hours to raise awareness about the dangers of plastic bags

In 2006 Egan felt inspired to revise the Magic Box manuscript. This time, several publishers expressed interest in the book. In 2008, The Magic Box was published by Agne Publishing. Egan is currently working on the prequel to The Magic Box, The Magic Coral which will explore the theme of overcoming fear. Agne will publish this book in 2009. The third book in this series is scheduled to be released by Agne in 2010 and will focus on self-worth and self-esteem. In addition, Egan is also working on Running the Beta, a science fiction novel; as well as several other writing projects.
