About
MAGICAL WORLDS, STRONG HEARTS, UNLIKELY HEROES
WHY DO I WRITE?
Ever since I was a child stories have been an important part of my life. They provided an escape when the world was harsh. They taught me about other cultures and points of view. They encouraged me to explore and create. My mind is bursting with stories and characters sprung from all Iāve read and lived, and if I donāt share them it might drive me mad.
WHY DO I WRITE FANTASY?
Fantasy provides a rich tapestry within which to weave a world of meaning. It allows you to step back and take a look at things that when written in ārealityā are harsh or painful, or too close to look at objectively. It allows a write to craft the exact setting that would show off the story to its best advantage.
Iām Melissa āMomtoastā Matos (āmaā like in mom and ātosā like in toast). I was born and raised in Philadelphia, and still live here with my family and some grumpy cockatiels. I am a writer, graphic designer and gamer.
