Mullarkey, Séamus: - From the west of Ireland but now living in New York, Séamus Mullarkey spends much of his time scouring vintage newspaper articles, leafing through dusty old books, and scrutinizing scholarly databases. Séamus is obsessed with overlooked stories, forgotten aspects of world events, and quirky trivia. He is fascinated by the kind of history that you definitely didnt learn in school. Teachers told him to only answer what youre asked and dont go off on tangents, but now he delights in writing about whatever he wants, and its his pleasure to take his readers on that journey with him.
