Matt Luttrell is an award-winning science fiction author from Alberta, Canada. He's been a story-teller, a curious learner, and a self professed 'super-nerd' his entire life.

Matt likes to show believable, modern characters in unbelievable situations, and he mixes real science with the fantastical to create page turning adventure tales.

He loves getting feedback from readers and fans, either on Amazon or his Goodreads author page, and is always up for a fun discussion of ideas. Besides writing, Matt works as a researcher at a Calgary University - when he's not playing in the Rocky Mountains.

Then, days later, I'll suddenly realize my mistake and the right thing will come to me. It's usually on a bike ride or in the shower.

Before covid hit, I was working full time as a guide, talking with strangers and telling stories for eight hours a day. After covid, the only work I could get was as a bus driver at an oil rig. For eight hours a day I would be stuck in my own thoughts, with no stereo in the bus and no conversation to be had. Back in my camp room I'd watch endless documentaries and YouTube shows about space and physics. Slowly, the idea for River Jumping came to me, and I wrote down my ideas in a notebook between bus stops. If I hadn't been so bored, I don't know if the ideas ever would have come.(less)
