This author also writes under the pen name M.J. Keeley

I write in various genres including speculative fiction, magic realism, literary fiction and non-fiction review writing. My main focus is novel-writing. My debut science-fiction novel, 'Turning the Hourglass', was released by Black Rose Writing in April 2019 and my coming-of-age novel 'The Stone in My Pocket' will be published by The Conrad Press in September 2020. ...more

Matthew’s Quotes

“When you go,
if you go,
And I should want to die,
there's nothing I'd be saved by
more than the time
you fell asleep in my arms
in a trust so gentle
I let the darkening room
drink up the evening, till
rest, or the new rain
lightly roused you awake.
I asked if you heard the rain in your dream
and half dreaming still you only said, I love you.”
― Edwin Morgan, New Selected Poems

tags: loss, love, rain, sleep
