edit data

Damian Vargas is an emerging author of action thrillers with a vein of dark humor.

Damian is a self-exiled Brit, living and working in Spain on the Costa del Sol. A child of the 1970s and 1980s, he was brought up on an entertainment diet of intrepid adventure novels, gritty crime dramas, epic war stories, and low-budget British science fiction television.

The next book is actually very different; a comedy. I felt I needed to work on something more uplifting next, as The Dark Place was quite draining. I wrote a screenplay about a washed-up, old British punk rocker living in LA, who is faced with the stark realisation that his life has no meaning and who needs to rediscover what truly matters to him. I’m now turning that into a full length novel. After that, I’ll probably return to a dark thriller set in the near future, which I’ve had on the go for a couple of years but delayed as I wanted to finish my Spain-based book projects. And after that, we’ll…that would be telling.(less)
