Matt Dean
author of the river in winter
2010 lambda literary award finalist
My first novel, The River in Winter, was published in 2009. I'm working on my second novel, The Wide Night Sky. I live in South Carolina with my partner and our cranky Jack Russell terrier. I like cake. Pancakes, too. Pancakes are good.
I steer clear of any novel that gets billed as a “meditation.” I’ve seen “moving meditation,” “elegiac meditation,” even “angry meditation.” To me, this is code for: Run! There’s no story!

“What Jack remembered and craved in a way he could neither help nor understand was the time that distant summer on Brokeback when Ennis had come up behind him and pulled him close, the silent embrace satisfying some shared and sexless hunger.”
