Born in 1854, Eyre Damer was an Anglo-Irish author who wrote widely across fiction, journalism, and travel. She published novels, short stories, and nonfiction, and her books appeared with well-known publishers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Damer is associated with a varied body of work, including travel-based writing and historical or regional fiction. One of her best-known later titles is When the Ku Klux Rode, and Project Gutenberg lists a substantial number of works under her name, showing how active and productive she was over many years.

She died in 1922. While reliable biographical detail about her personal life appears limited in easily available sources, the surviving record of her publications shows a versatile writer whose career stretched across several decades.
