Author Biography
Matt Dean began writing in the seventh grade, when his best friend bragged about writing a novel, and he wanted to be able to do the same. The River in Winter is most assuredly not his first novel, though it is--most assuredly--the first that will ever see the light of day. Matt lives in South Carolina with his partner, Todd, and their three dogs. Matt works at home, telecommuting full-time for a software company and generally drinking far more coffee than any rational person should consume.
