Cosmic Legends

Publisher info

Born and raised in small-town Ontario, Matt Kirkby is a romantic dreamer who specializes in writing tales of high fantasy and pulp-style science fiction and space operas. He draws his inspiration from all diverse sources and ideas: Science Fiction, Fantasy, Gothic Horror, Pastoral Nature.

He started his writing career submitting fan fiction for numerous TransFormers and Star Wars fanzines, but has since moved on to writing professionally.

He published his first novel, A Wyrm In The Heart in 2004.

He lives a double life, writing classy sci-fi and fantasy for fun under his own name, and penning gay erotica under the pseudonym of Frank Sol.

When not writing, Matt spends his time helping his partner with his hand-crafted rocking chair business -- Off Your Rocker -- and trying to maintain some control over his cat. He still thinks that no gift is better than a new book.

Smashwords Interview

What motivated you to become an indie author?
I like to write and for the longest time I wrote stories to amuse myself.

I got into fanfic for Star Wars and Transformers and submitted stories to various fanzines which actually resulted in a few letters from people who enjoyed my writing.

I'd like to think that my current work is far superior to the fanfic.
How has Smashwords contributed to your success?
It has opened up multiple venues for my works to be seen and purchased from.
