My name is Mattheau L. Sharp. I am a fifteen year old high school student living in Pennsylvania. In my spare time, I write. I write whatever I think I need to write. But that's not exactly the truth. I write what I want to write. The stories I write are my stories. I created them, and now, I want other people to see them. I want to share what I have created with other people. So come on in. Enter my world. Terror, horror, happiness, sadness, and much more lie ahead.And if you pre-order my newest book, "Dying Embers", and use the following coupon, you get a big discount. So hurry up and buy.Promotional price: $0.99Coupon Code: ZP55TExpires: July 1, 2016I was born on March 13, 2001, in Uniontown, Pennsylvania. Yes, I dorealize that means I am very young to be a writer, but I do not let that stop me. Writing is one of my passions. I love writing, just as I love reading.Favorite AuthorMy favorite author is Stephen King. I’m sure you all know who Stephen King is, but I’m gonna talk about him a little bit anyway, because I like his writing that much. Stephen King writes storiesthat are primarily classified under the horror category, although I don’t personally believe that King’s stories can be classified under any one category, because they are too good to beclassified like that. The first novel King published was calledCarrie,and it is a really great novel. He has also published the novelsThe Green Mile, Firestarter, Dreamcatcher, The Dark Half, It, Pet Sematary, Under the Dome, Tommyknockers,and several others, all of which I believe are very good novels, and I recommend you read them if you have never done so before. I enjoy reading King’s stories not only because of the storiesthemselves, but also because of the characters that are in the stories. King is an expert character writer, at least in my opinion. The characters that he writes seem extremely real, and I findmyself able to relate to many of them, despite how different I am to them. That’s one of the things that makes King such a great writer.Some More About MeI am fifteen years old at the time that I am writingthis-May 24,2016. I am sitting in the library of my high school, where I am a ninth grade students, typing on a computer, although school was officially out an hour and a half ago. I live inPennsylvania. During the summers, I sometimes go camping with my family, and I enjoy fishing, and I am the only person in my family who will eat fish.(I don’t know why. I love fish.)
