Mercy Creek, Matt Matthews' first novel and winner of the South Carolina Arts Commission First Novel Prize and other awards, was published in the May 2011 by the award-winning Hub City Press. Fritz and Christine and Their Very Nervous Parents, a children's story about vocation and illustrated by Adrienne Davis, was published in the winter of 2010 by Avenida Books.
Matt is head of staff at First Presbyterian Church in Champaign, Illinois, where he puts people to sleep professionally with tightly-crafted, sometimes monotone sermons. He grew up on the Chesapeake Bay in Hampton VA, studied journalism at Virginia Commonwealth University and theology at Union Presbyterian Seminary, both in Richmond, VA. He likes catching independent movies at The Art Theatre with his wife, playing disc golf, and clapping along with live music with his sons. (He has no discernible rhythm.) He writes songs on his six string when everyone has gone to bed.
