Who Am I
I’m Matthew Marchetti, and as of writing this (2025) I’m 25. I spent much of my childhood gallivanting outside, swinging Nerf swords with my friends, and dreaming of a world of knights and magic. Years later, and I’m working on creating that world in Fate of a Failed Dragon. The primary inspiration for my work (for having anything written at all) is my wife, Megan, who always reminds me, “You can’t edit a blank page.”
Goals
In short, I want to affect people. Truth dictates how we should live—you don’t keep your hand on a hot stove, and you don’t give in to temptation when the world says so. There is Truth everywhere—many times hidden behind layers of apathy or deceit—and so I want to provide a slice of that truth clear and visible through the characters, tones, and messages of my stories.
One of the biggest steps I can take to do that is to get my books published and in the mainstream view, so that’s what I’m aiming for. In the meantime, I want to share snippets of my work with the world and introduce you to who I am and how I write!
In the future, I plan to add a YouTube channel where my wife and I discuss writing concepts, share pieces of our work, and give an inner look into the creation process of our stories.
My Hope
I try to genuinely pursue Truth no matter where I am. My hope is that, by reading about the efforts of my characters trying to do the same thing in a world that hates them, you will be encouraged to do the same. Once we accept the pillars of objective truth, we can see the world through a proper, realistic perspective and make steps towards understanding it and living as full people. Truth begins in God’s Word, is fulfilled through reality, and applied in each of our lives.
Keep seeking out truth. It's out there!
