Living in the town of Dahlonega in the north Georgia mountains, Matt Nielsen is an author with a love for historical fantasy literature. As the owner of a small video production company, Flint & Steel Studios, Matt's passion for storytelling spans multiple forms of media.

In addition to filming weddings and short films, Matt enjoys playing music on his concertina, creating elaborate cosplays, and going to conventions and festivals (often in cosplay with his concertina in tow).

Matt focuses his writing on compelling characters, imaginative settings, and a blend of heartfelt drama and humor. He enjoys analyzing stories and hopes to make his own stories as compelling and well-crafted as they can be. Matt is currently preparing for the release of his first novel, a fantasy pirate adventure set in the Caribbean in the early 1700s.
