But, in an effort to make his works accessible to a wide audience, he avoids presenting violence and sexuality in a graphic or sensationalized way.

Matthew grew up on the swashbuckling heroics of Errol Flynn and Burt Lancaster. And the creative characters and world-building of Brooks, Tolkien, Eddings, and Donaldson.

Motivations and Distractions

I have a lot of hobbies beyond my writing. My family and friends joke about it. And I sometimes feel as though I might have too many myself. But I have a curious and adventurous spirit. And I can't help myself!

As but a sample of the gear I've acquired for exploring the outdoors I have kayaks for nearly every member of my family, two canoes, a stand-up paddleboard, a full set of SCUBA equipment, sn

“Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.”
C.S. Lewis

C.S. Lewis
“I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand a word you say, but I shall still be your affectionate Godfather, C. S. Lewis.”
C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
