Hi, I'm Matthew Gene.  I am a published author with Progressive Rising Phoenix Press.

​

When I'm not writing, I keep myself busy with a variety of creative projects, driven by my obsessive need to stay productive. I often work on videos, crafting book trailers for fellow authors, producing music videos, or editing drone footage I've captured. In addition to being a licensed drone pilot, I'm also a certified private pilot.

Regardless, I hope you enjoy the site and thank you very much for visiting, even if it was by accident.

A native Texan, Matthew grew up in the Dallas/Ft.Worth area and found a love for music and the bass guitar at an early age.  He started playing in bands as early as high school, some of whom were: Xpedition, Love Coma, The Mudcats, iMi, Crüeligans, Break My Fall, and Empiires. 

 

During this time, he has shared the stage with acts such as:  Pat Travers, Tangier, Tora Tora, Sixpence None the Richer, MXPX, Red, Texas Hippie Coalition, Drowning Pool, Fuel, Puddle of Mudd, Candlebox, Saliva, Evans Blue, Eve 6, Faster Pussycat, Sebastian Bach (Skid Row), Geoff Tate (Queensryche), LA Guns, Trapt, P.O.D., The All-American Rejects, Tesla, and Sevendust just to name a few. 

​

He was the bass player for the house band on the Drew Pearson Live show during football season 2019, which aired every Sunday morning at 11:30am on Channel 8 (WFAA), and has an endorsement with Ernie Ball Musicman.​ He recently resigned from playing bass full-time, but music will always live in his heart.

 

Matthew currently lives in Crowley, Texas with his wife Karen, author of Mr. Owl and the Little Boy, and their dog Diesel.
