Bird, Matt: - Matt Bird lives in Provo, Utah, near his childhood home. He is currently studying at Brigham Young University. His first book, He Atoned for Me, was released in 2019. Matt grew up with a love for adventure stories, influenced greatly by his father's artwork, mainly a sculpture made by his father, when the author was very young, of a knight fighting a snake-like dragon across large boulders. Things like this spurred him along to create the stories that he now writes.
