Damien Mac Namara

Damien Mac Namara lives in Limerick Ireland and lectures at the National College of Ireland in Dublin. He holds a PhD in Computer Science with a speciality in Human Computer Interaction. Damien spent a lot of his teens and twenties playing first-person shooters and training in TaeKwon-Do. He has spent quite a bit of his vacation time in Scandinavia and has snowmobiled across the Arctic. His interest in this part of the world is certainly a reason for his setting part of Furious Angels in Iceland – having visited three times in recent years. Damien is a self-confessed sci-fi nerd and Trekkie. He prefers to write YA because younger minds are much more complex and more open to adapt to the world around them.
