Matthew Roy (he/him) lives in the American Midwest. He recently moved from a small town to a big city, from a rambling farmhouse to a small apartment, and from a major corporation to an up-and-comer. He's writing more. He's making changes. He got a dog. He's neck-deep in revisions on his first novel and banging away at his second. His speculative poetry has appeared or is forthcoming in Eternal Haunted Summer, Illumen Magazine, Penumbric Speculative Fiction Mag, The Quarter(ly) Journal, The Sprawl Mag, and Star*Line. Find him on his website and on X (formerly Twitter) @mattroywriter.
