Martin Matthews is an expat from England, Great Britain. After living in California for many years, he now lives in Central Illinois with his wife and son.
I go by many names, but you can call me Martin. I grew up on the mean streets of Romford in England. My father was an Irish immigrant who made a living with his hands, and my mother was a care assistant for the elderly and disabled.
Growing up, I was always caught between worlds. My Irish heritage, my English roots, my American family. I spent a lot of time between the US and UK during the 90s, and finally decided to make the transatlantic leap to the New World back in the early 2000s. In 2015, I became an American citizen. And here I am, nearly two decades later, a husband, father, and writer of fiction.
