01 THE VISION
First Novel "Snow"
Snow is the working title for my first novel.
The story:
Grace was just a child when she encountered the impossible—an unforgettable meeting with Santa Claus that no one else would ever believe. Years later, now a determined journalist searching for the story that could define her career, Grace sets out on a dangerous expedition to uncover the truth behind the legend. But what begins as a hunt for answers soon pulls her into a hidden world of magic, chaos, and secrets far darker than she ever imagined. As wonder turns to danger, Grace must decide how much truth the world is ready to know.
About the author
My Journey
My name is Matthew Mattingly, and I have always had a deep love for fantasy books and stories filled with magic, adventure, and imagination. Many of the books I plan to write revolve around fantasy worlds, powerful mysteries, and the wonder of the impossible becoming real.
I am also an avid reader, and throughout my life, books have been a source of inspiration, escape, and creativity. The experiences I’ve had in life, along with the stories I’ve loved, continue to shape the ideas behind my writing.
When I was younger, I dreamed of becoming an author, but I never truly believed in myself enough to pursue it. Now, motivated to chase success and follow my passion, I have decided to dedicate my time to writing and working toward becoming a published author in the future.
