Damon Shaw

Damon Shaw trained as an actor, his work winning both the Evening Standard and Time Out awards. He slipped into theater design, directing and puppet making and was enjoying carving out a career as a designer when he abruptly fell in love with a Spaniard and moved to Lanzarote in the Canary Isles. Since then he has occasionally worked as a puppeteer and theater designer, but his attention has been focused on carpentry, cats, dogs, and running a market stall. There, he sells his more profitable wooden designs to the endless stream of passing tourists. He has invented a lunar tide clock, been commissioned to make a set of six-foot-tall wooden machines in the style of Leonardo Da Vinci, and most recently began to write short speculative fiction.

He has been published in Flash Fiction Online and has stories forthcoming in the Anywhere But Earth anthology from Coeur de Lion Publishing and in the Myths and Magic anthology from Dreamspinner Press.
