About Mat

Hi, I'm Mateo. My friends call me Mat, and this is where I keep my writing.

I'm working on my first novel, Titan: the story of a puppy who loses his sight in a fire and discovers that the world doesn't end where the dark begins. It just starts speaking in other languages. Wind in the olive trees. Rain on a friend's shoulders. The particular way footsteps sound when they belong to someone you love.

I started writing because a good friend of mine published his book and made it look like something a regular person could actually do. It turns out he was right. It also turns out that writing a book is the hardest fun I've ever had.

When I'm not writing, I'm probably reading, or arguing with a cat about something. The cat usually wins. That may have influenced the book.

You can follow the journey on the blog, read more about Titan, or say hello, in English or in Spanish, whichever feels like home.
