About the Author

Matthew was born in Carlisle, Cumbria, UK, in 1988, and spent most of his childhood in Maryport on the Solway Firth, and some time in South Wales. After studying a degree in Chester, UK, he moved to South Africa, where he learnt to appreciate life among other peoples and environments. A little over two years later he again relocated to East Asia, spending a lot of time in Taiwan and Japan.

Having lived in five countries on three continents, and visited many others, Matthew has taken the opportunity to learn from the peoples, cultures, and politics of the places where he has been, and integrates his experiences not only into his outlook on the world and the people within it, but also into his writing, fiction or otherwise.
