About Me:

My name is Matthew D. Thomson.  I was born in Salt Lake City, Utah and have lived in Utah my entire life. I am currently divorced and my children mean more to me than anything else.

I began writing in 2008 as a way of expressing myself.  Later that year, I started to put together my cookbook – Anyone Can Cook which quickly took on a life of it’s own and evolved into much more that I had originally anticipated.  I have now moved to writing fiction novels and finishing the few novels that I started when I first began to write. You can find a complete list of my published works on the Bookshelf tab of this site.

I currently have two series of books as well as my cookbook.  I have written the Guardian series which is a historical fiction trilogy and I am currently writing the Robert Mason Murder Mystery Series. I do also have future plans of branching out and trying my hand at dystopian fantasy and romance novels as well.

My hobbies include: writing, reading, coin collecting, genealogy, metal detecting, cooking, computers, spending time with my family and geocaching.

I am a firm believer that in order to be a good writer, you must also be a good reader and I spend a large amount of my time reading.  I love the feeling of holding a book in my hands and getting lost between the pages of the story although I am starting to get used to the feel of an e-reader too.

My daughter, Samantha Thomson has also published several books and has been a huge supporter of my journey as an author.  I thoroughly enjoy spending every weekend with her having in depth discussions, marketing strategy meeting and writing sessions. Check out her books here.
