edit data

Matt writes character-driven military space opera. His stories take place in the Universe of UCEF, an expansive setting where the alien perspectives take centre stage and the actions of heroic individuals shape the known galaxy.

He is a research chemist by day, a dad all the time, and a writer somewhere in-between.

Expect aliens, thoughtful world building, grounded science, high-stakes action, and a healthy dose of intrigue. His first publication is the short story Exodus To The Stars, with a debut novel planned for Late 2026.
