Matthew Warner has been writing since childhood, but didn't know he wanted to be a horror writer until he won a high school contest sponsored by the Fairfax Journal newspaper, near his home town of Burke, Virginia. Since then, he has appeared in two dozen small-press publications and the anthologies Tourniquet Heart, Extremes III and Stories of Fear III. He also coordinated the republication of Lovecraft at Last, by H.P. Lovecraft and Willis Conover, and received a research acknowledgement in In Search of Deep Throat: The Greatest Political Mystery of Our Time, by Leonard Garment, a former Nixon White House counsel.

Although James Madison University gave him a journalism degree in 1995, he now has more fun as an administrative assistant in Washington, DC. A resident of Falls Church, Virginia, Matt is a member of the Mid-Atlantic Horror Professionals and the Horror Writers Association. He is also a classically trained pianist and blackbelt martial artist. He doesn't own any pets because he can barely remember to water his plants. The Organ Donor is his first novel.
