"A sinister cabal of superior writers."
I am Damien Riley, author/teacher in Southern California. I keep an online diary as well as a blog on psychology and inspiration. Much of my writing is inspired by my career as an educator. I enjoy reading authors like Herman Hesse and John dos Passos. In my spare time I like swimming with my wife, also a teacher, and my three kids.
