Living on the shores of Lake Superior with her supportive husband, their tender dog and one mouse-catching kitty, Roxy Matthews has been putting fingers to keys for well over a decade. After attempting to self-publish her first two novels--Misery's Companion in 2006 and Tools of Terror in 2007, Roxy Matthews realized just what was missing from her work...time. And that is what she did, she gave her writing and her skills time to grow. After writing columns for Suspense Magazine and www.sootoday.com, she grew her skills before attempting short stories in 2009. She finally hit pay dirt in 2010 with her short story 'Euphoria' winning first place in an online contest. From that moment on, she was unstoppable and credits her perseverance and ability to take criticism as the reason she finally signed a three-book deal with Destiny Whispers Publishing. Today, she is a force to be reckoned with and has set her sights on Bestseller status. Why, you ask? Because why not!
