Damien Augustine grew up in Counselor, New Mexico (where he always felt he never quite fit in), and is a Junior majoring in English at the University of New Mexico (where he didn’t fit in either) and spins his entire day reading books and writing, while he snacks on Cheetos. (Where he finally started to feel like he fits in).

He grew up speaking Navajo, (he’s first language) and learned English in third grade. (Thanks to Miss Daisy). His life on the Navajo Indian Reservation has been shaped by many stories and the vast beauty (which he wants to write about). He currently is writing The Black Soul Saga and never stops writing about these strange characters in his head. (In a sense, they are him). Currently, he is also reading, “Undying” by Valerie Growsjean (which is making him really love zombies and flinches at the thought of becoming one).
