Coming home on the first day of kindergarten mad because he couldn't read was just the first sign. It has just steadily got worse and the fascination with creating worlds with words finally exploded. This spring saw the release of his first book, In Heaven's Shadow. Edited by the fantastic Annetta Ribkin, he is quite excited to share it with the world. This second edition of In Heaven's Shadow is Matthew's initial foray into self-publishing. He lives in the Great White North.. no not as far as Edmonton - in Calgary, Alberta Canada. Born and raised (notice the avoidance of the phrase grew up...) in a small town the move to the big city was a bit of a shock. He's traveled around a bit and that has helped broaden his experience. All of which comes out in his writing.view less
