Mat Clarke

Biography

Mat is a thriller and contemporary writer from Melbourne, currently living in Ferntree Gully. He has written five novels and an array of short stories that can be found via this page. He runs a writers group and has created a webpage dedicated to beginner/intermediate writers wanting to be involved in short story competitions and to be published in the biyearly anthology.

From an early age, Mat has used a keyboard as the instrument of his expression. His range is broad, from the chilling, to the obscure, to fan fiction, to thought provoking, to children’s and YA, and a not too small amount of speculative fiction. Yet, his main area of interest has always been the thriller genre.

Often traveling, he will be found tapping away in a cafe, bar, on the train, in a plane, in Melbourne, Sydney, Sunshine Coast, New York, Washington DC, Chicago, and the list goes on. This is where he gets his ideas, from you, the streets, and what goes on around the world.
