Author Information

Matthew Vesely collects ironies. Usually, he's scribbling in his journal while somber music plays in the dark. But, when you meet him, he's more likely to be giddy talking about new books, reality TV, or dogs. Striving to portray real queer experiences through the lens of fiction, he lives, works, and writes in the Philadelphia area.
