MATTHEW ROLAND is the pseudonym of Matthew Starkey. Born in a dirty, ramshackle town in Northern California, he possesses an ardent regard for story and any form of writing—whether that be fiction or nonfiction. His further obsessions are ancient, archaic words that nobody uses anymore, reading liberal amounts of Tolkien when he can find the time, and searching for the perfect hat.
