Hi! I’m Matt

I've been crafting full-length novels for over fifteen years. My journey as an author has taken me to incredible places—literally and figuratively. I've lived in Hawai'i, South America, and various parts of the United States, drawing inspiration from these diverse landscapes and cultures. My goal is to weave these rich experiences into the fabric of my stories, creating immersive worlds and relatable characters that resonate with readers.

My academic background is deeply rooted in the study of creative writing. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Creative Writing from Dixie State University and a Master of Fine Arts in Genre Fiction from Western Colorado University. This formal education has honed my skills and allowed me to delve deeply into the intricacies of storytelling, character development, and world-building.

In my writing, I explore complex themes and dynamic character relationships set against the backdrop of expansive, imaginative universes. Whether it's the intergalactic conflicts of my Stars Reach series or the intense personal struggles of my protagonists, my aim is to keep you on the edge of your seat, turning pages late into the night.

I hope my stories captivate your imagination as much as they have fueled my love for writing.
