R. Mark Matthews

Mark Matthews grew up in Rockingham County, NC. A graduate of the University of North Carolina and the University of Louisville, he currently lives in Raleigh. He's 97.5% certain that he's not an Ai bot.

His full time job is teaching chemistry. Whether or not he's any good at it probably depends on who you ask.

Every now and then he likes to pretend he's a writer. In 2012 he released a two-volume general chemistry book, Chemistry: A Novel (Textbook), which he wrote in his spare time during those rare moments when he was able to keep his gaming addiction under control. In 2025, he finally got around to releasing the second edition.
