About The Author

My name is Darren Snyder. I was born in Winchester, Indiana on September 16, 1971. I graduated from Randolph Southern Jr-Sr High School in 1990.I first joined the Army in 1992 and stayed in until 1996. Continued a military career in both the Indiana and Ohio National Guard up until the time 9/11 occurred. I did go back on active duty in 2003 having done two tours of duty in Iraq. The isolation of the desert caused a change in me that made me want to write. Through my second stint in the Army I began to draw characters in my artwork that I would eventually use for my book Hammerspace. While being stationed at Ft. Gordon, Georgia I drew a picture of a female rock band in 2014 and decided to give each one a personality and a unique set of super hero powers. I pulled the name Rotten Trampoline Attack off of Facebook but I later renamed the band Hammerspace because the girls all seemed to come together out of nowhere, like when a cartoon character pulls a hammer from thin air. Since retirement in 2015 I have moved back to Winchester, Indiana. I achieved a union position at Ardagh Glass here in town. However, I'm still actively working on Hammerspace and some other projects as well. My goal is to be a noted local artist and writer. I continue to be active in my community and I network with fellow artists and writers on Facebook on a regular basis.
