Matt Bechtel was born just south of Detroit, Michigan (cursing him a Lions fan), into a mostly-Irish family of dreamers and writers as opposed to the pharmaceutical or construction giants that share his surname. As such, he has spent most of his years making questionable life decisions and enjoying the results. Mentored by their late-founder Bob Booth, he serves as Chairperson of the Camp Necon convention and was a partner in the Necon E-Books digital publishing company, creating and managing the web site for each. His own writing tends towards dark humor / satire and has been compared to Ray Bradbury and Cormac McCarthy. He currently lives in the northeast.
