Matthew R.R. Morrese is a lifelong student of writing, whether it be poetry, short prose, long prose, epics, or screenplays. Mastering fantasy, classic to modern, he draws inspiration from William Morris, George MacDonald, H.R. Haggard, Lord Dunsany, J.R.R. Tolkien, and George R.R. Martin. Matthew designs and discovers new worlds through ours and theirs, tracking fantasy back to its origins to adapt and create unique and relatable characters, plot, and setting for children and adults alike. Beyond this, he’s a lover of all creative avenues, including the arts, musical theatre, singing and songwriting, archaeology, and astronomy.
