Hullo…
A bit about me since we’ve barely met…
I hail originally from the very pleasant and generically American community of Swisshelm Park, a small outlier of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Circumstances have led me to Middle Earth, where I currently reside a half-hour from the Hobbiton movie set in New Zealand. It’s as green as the movies portray. Though the books, as always, remain the preeminent gateway to Tolkien’s landscapes.
The town I live in is Hamilton. It reminds me a bit of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, with its rolling fields and dairy industry. And though New Zealand doesn’t yet import Martin’s Potato Chips (made in Thomasville, PA), it’s a fine place to exist.
My first published novel, EVEREST RISING, is a science thriller with a twist– a Jules Verne meets Michael Crichton meets Rod Serling blend of 'everyday' humans up against extraordinary circumstances.
Currently, I'm at work on my second book, TACOMA NARROWS. This thriller features a unique branch of science: psychoacoustics. I’m also developing another title, The THREE GREEN SISTERS. It’s based in Regent Square. What more need be said?
Cheers & blessings,
Matt
