Matthew Ward is a writer, cat-servant and owner of more musical
instruments than he can actually play (and considerably more than
he can play well). He's afflicted with an obsession for old places
- castles, historic cities and the London Underground chief among
them - and should probably cultivate more interests to help expand
out his author biography.
After a decade serving as a principle architect for Games
Workshop's Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 properties, Matthew
embarked on an adventure to tell stories set in worlds of his own
design. He lives near Nottingham with his extremely patient wife -
as well as a pride of attention- seeking cats - and writes to
entertain anyone who feels there's not enough magic in the world.

Cornwell's The Last Kingdom."--FanFi Addict

Inn

precision-engineered watch with a concealed face-stabbing
mechanism."--Gareth Hanrahan
"Epic fantasy as it should be: big, bold and very
addictive."--Starburst

I pick up every moment I can get."--SFFWorld
"Ward has created a novel with such intention and craftsmanship
that it brings back that feeling of excitement fantasy readers felt
when discovering masters like J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S.
Lewis."--Shelf Awareness
