know the Author

Fran Gomez

Born in Mexico, this veteran of war in cyberspace, declares himself as a huge fan of comics and video games.

With a Master Degree in Creative Writing by the University of Seville, and studies in Script Writing for TV and Web Series by the Michigan State University, he loves to write science fiction.

For more than 4 years, he worked in collaboration with the Cyber Police of the Mexican Federal Government, monitoring and implementing security measures against cyberattack threats from different hacker groups, including Anonymous.

In 2011, he faced a massive attack performed by Anonymous, the so called #OpIndependencia.

The defense strategy that he helped to plan, was a resounding success, defeating the attack of the Anonymous‘s hacking coalition.

His experiences in the cyberwar field inspired him to write a story about hackers and conspiracies, but it was during the Feminist Strike #8M in Seville, Spain, where he found the inspiration to create Hack Woman, a powerful and bold sci-fi superheroine.
