Matthew Langdon Cost

Over the years, Cost has owned a video store, a mystery bookstore, and a gym. He has also taught history and coached just about every sport imaginable.

During those years, since age eight actually, the true passion has been writing. 'I Am Cuba: Fidel Castro and the Cuban Revolution" (Encircle Publications, March, 2020) was his first traditionally published novel.

Cost has now written six books in the Mainely Mystery series starting with "Mainely Power", five books in the Clay Wolfe Trap series starting with "Wolfe Trap", and two books in the Brooklyn 8 Ballo series starting with "Velma Gone Awry". A few historical fiction pieces fill out the shelves. "The Not So Merry Adventures of Max Creed" is Book One in the Max Creed Chronicles.

Cost now lives in Brunswick, Maine, with his wife, Harper. There are four grown children: Brittany, Pearson, Miranda, and Ryan. There are four dogs to help with editing. He now spends his days at the computer, writing.
