Matthew Williams

In 1999 Matthew Williams began writing a novel; at the time it was no more than an exercise in developing his language and communication skills as he stepped into management in the field of Engineering.It wasn't until 2006 when he found and re-read the pages he had written, that he felt a deep desire to complete the story. The 4 chapters became 25 and after many months of editing and gaining feedback from his friends and family he finally had a manuscript worthy of publication.Writing has become his passion, and The Shady Corner is the first in what he hopes will be many!
