"There were five now. The mugger, the sex offender, the wife-beater, the drug dealer. And of course, Peter. Jason hadn’t needed a gun to kill Peter."

Join The Writing Wall as we speak with author and artist Damien Linnane. Damien is a former Australian soldier and a former prisoner. In 2015, he was sentenced to two-year imprisonment for a series of crimes, including the firebombing of a home, with the sentencing magistrate finding that his motivation appeared to be ‘vigilante action’. Linnane wrote the novel Scarred while he was in custody. Since his release from prison, Linnane has started a business, Vigilante Studios, doing photo-realistic portrait drawings by commission, and has completed a master’s degree in information studies. He also works as a ghostwriter and is a contributor to the news website 10 daily. Linnane is from Sydney and resides in Newcastle, Australia. He is currently writing an autobiography.
