Emily’s life had never been simple. From a troubled childhood to an adulthood spent navigating various mental health issues, she did think there was no way it could get worse. Even if it did, at least she had her therapist to fall back upon for guidance. That is, until Emily realised none of her life was actually real, not even her. Every night she dreamed of the same man. A hideous, obnoxious arsehole who lived in his mother’s basement where he spent his time arguing with anyone and everyone on social media. And when he wasn’t arguing with random strangers? He was trying to write his debut novel. Whilst the stranger hadn’t quite figured out the plot details, he had at least fully fleshed out his starring character; a young woman named Emily.

Biography MATT SHAW was born, quite by accident (his mother tripped, he shot out) September 30th 1980 in Winchester hospital where he was immediately placed on the baby ward and EBay. Some twelve years later (wandering the corridors of the hospital and playing with road kill when he was on day release), the listing closed and he remained unsold, he was booted out of the hospital to start his life as a writer and hobbit – beginning with writing screenplays and short stories for his own amusement before finally getting published when he was twenty-seven years and forty-five seconds old. Once Published weekly in a lad's magazine with his photography work, Matt Shaw is also a published author and cartoonist. Has to be said, can be a bit of a flirt and definitely, without a shadow of a doubt, somewhat of a klutz. Favourite books "Roald Dahl's Collection of Short Stories" Tim Burton's Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy Anything, really, written by himself. Because he is that good.
