About Matt J Pike

MattPike

 

I’m probably unhealthily obsessed with games, sci-fi, comedy and fantasy football competitions. I somehow managed to rip myself away from all of the above long enough to write a book – I know – I can’t believe it either!

Kings of the World is my first novel. I have decided to ePublish to share it with the world and to help raise money to find a cure for Rett Syndrome.  Part proceeds from all sales of this book – and all future books I write – will be donated to charities looking for a cure for Rett Syndrome. There is some fantastic and positive research taking place around the world that leaves people with the hope that there will be revolutionary changes to how we treat the condition in lifetime.

About Rett Syndrome

As a parent of a child with Rett Syndrome it is difficult to know how to contribute to cause, beyond staying positive and caring for the needs of your child. The syndrome and its symptoms are complex. I find writing a good escape and my wish is that I find enough success with my passion to help contribute to the greater cause of finding a cure for Rett Syndrome.

I have just released my second book, Apocalypse: Diary of a Survivor, a post-apocalyptic piece set in suburban Australia. In between a couple of short stories and novellas I’m bouncing back to the Kings of the World universe to pen the sequel…. 20,000 words in and the boys are already knee deep in that creek where the paddle supply is limited.

 

I would like to thank a lot of people who have helped me turn my dream of writing into a reality:

Russell Emerson, Lisa Chant, Anna Pike, Steve Grice, Tom Aldahn, Michael Diggins, Derek Pedley, Kate Kyriacou, Patrick McDonald, Michael Boehm, Sky Harrison, Wayne Bosch, Sharna Halls, The Mutant Stepchildren, Josh Malin, Ben Malin, Cameron England, Tory Shepherd, Jan Pike, Lisa Smith, Rod Savage, Michael Owen-Brown and Tom Loveday.
