Who Is Dan O'Mahony?

Possible Theories

Some people believe that Dan O'Mahony was born in a library and raised by a pack of wild fantasy novels who accepted him as one of their own.

Others believe Dan was found as a baby in a crashed rocket ship, and that exposure to the yellow radiation of Earth's sun gives him creative abilities far greater than a normal human.

What is Known for Certain

Dan currently resides near Chandler, Arizona but spends most of his time exploring new worlds and associating with unique characters. When not engaging in flights of fancy, he teaches elementary and junior high students, hoping to inspire within them a love of reading and writing (The trick is to get them while they are young.).

When I'm Not Writing ...

What I'm reading...

I'm a big comic book fan, have been for ages. Marvel. DC. Independents.

One of my favorite all-time characters for sure is Daredevil. I got hooked on him in the Frank Miller days. I still revere Neil Gaiman's The Sandman and Alan Moore's tenure on Swamp Thing.

Recently, I have started reading the Skullduggery Pleasant series by fellow Irishman, Derek Landy, as it will be the focus of a book club I will hosting in the near future.

What I'm watching ...

I am eagerly awaiting the second half of season 4 of both Titans and Doom Patrol, especially Doom Patrol. They're like family to me.

What I'm listening to ...

I'm heavily into a sub-genre known as Irish or Celtic Punk. One of the biggest bands representing that type of music has to be Dropkick Murphys.

I first heard them in the opening credits of The Departed, and it was like a revelation. I've seen them live twice so far, and if you check YouTube you can find two free full-length concerts they recorded and posted since the pandemic. These guys are all about their fans.

If you like them or haven't heard them before, I put together a little Spotify list. Check the link below and enjoy!

I've since updated that list with some favorites from Flogging Molly who recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of their first album Swagger. Finally, there are some tracks from the band that started it all. The Pogues.
