Matt Dovey is very tall, very British, and most likely drinking a cup of tea right now. He has a scar on his arm from a cruel childhood lesson, though to be fair to his parents that lesson was self-taught and best summarised as “don’t be an idiot”. He lives in a quiet market town in rural England with his wife, children, and a sadly decreasing number of cats.

His surname rhymes with “Dopey” but any other similarities to the dwarf are purely coincidental. He’s the current host over at PodCastle, the best fantasy sibling a horror podcast could have, and he has fiction out and forthcoming all over the place, including all four Escape Artists podcasts.
