Damian Vargas

Biography

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.

Experiencing everyday life in southern Spain opened Damian’s eyes to the dark underworld that occurs (mostly) beyond the view of the annual influx of holidaymakers.  These regular criminal goings-on's, coupled with the rich tapestry of life and stunning locations on ‘The Costa del Crime’, sparked a deep desire to write dark and fast-paced action and thriller stories. Six Hard Days in Andalusia was the first of these and was followed by the prequel, Den Of Snakes. These were followed in August 2021 by his new historical suspense thriller, The Dark Place.

His motto is “Wisdom Comes To Those Who Stray”, he has a love for indie/punk rock in dank seedy venues, a fascination with the number 27, and harbors an intense dislike of spiders. He once met Mark Zuckerberg when he was barely even a billionaire, and David Hasselhoff, while dressed up as Ron Burgundy from the film, Anchorman. David was a tad confused by this.
