Matt Evans

Matt Evans lives, writes, and real estates in Draper, Utah. He and his wife, Brooklyn, happily dote on a squirming passel of super-cute nephews. Matt and B are hard at work on their respective first novels. They share a consuming love for literature, but not a Big Love, for that would be polygamous and polygamy is illegal. (But they can hook you up with someone in the know, if you’re interested.) Matt welcomes all comments great or small .
