Welcome to Writing for Christ Matthew Horn, it is great to have you here! Do you have an interesting fact about yourself the average reader probably doesn’t know?
Interesting Fact #1: I became a father on January 31st, 2012. Her name is Elizabeth and we call her Ella. She is the most amazing child and it is the greatest feeling in the world to get to experience just a bit of God’s love through my wife and new daughter.
Do you have a favorite genre to read/write?
I love adventure. The best part of adventure is you can find it in Fantasy, Thrillers, Sci-fi, etc. A solid hero winning the day comes in many different shapes and sizes and I love them all both to read and to write. As an author, I have many different book ideas in 3 or 4 different genres, but each one includes one really great hero!
5 things you love?
The Lord, my wife and daughter, Pasta, Sport (of almost any kind), and reading/writing. I could spend the rest of my life doing just those things and be so happy. Actually, I probably will spend the rest of my life doing those things. I’m excited just thinking about it.
What novel have you recently read that has stood out to you that both teens and adults will
find enjoyment in?
Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, an amazingly classic story with adventure, intrigue, mystery, etc. I only read it for the first time this year, but I know I would have loved it as a child as well. His ability to create scenery that was so vivid and to portray his characters feelings right into the minds of the reader just confounds me!

I went to Matthew's webpage to find out more about his book, The Good Fight. It sounds like it would be a great book for my teenage son to read. I always appreciate books that have enough action in them to hold his interest but are clean and have a positive message. I'd love to win a copy to give to him.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
