About Matthew Iden

Matthew Iden is a horror, science fiction, fantasy, thriller and crime fiction author who loves to gives his novels a psychological twist. He is best known for the Marty Singer detective series of novels about a retired Washington DC detective, who is forced to quit the police force following a cancer diagnosis. Iden studied English literature in college and asserts that it was not the best training for his later fiction writing career. It made him compare his works with that of the master and left him feeling insufficient, that he took years before publishing anything he had written. While his writing was rotting in his drawers, he was working in the tech space boom of the early and mid-nineties where he made good money. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of John Rain Kindle Worlds Books series, Matthew Iden has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
