All Good Things

2012

First there was the 'Happy Ever After' Trilogy, then there was 'Peter' now Matt Shaw brings you the final part of Peter's story in 'All Good Things'. "I thought my life was easier now. Since coming to terms with the fact I'm a monster - my days were supposed to be less confusing. Monsters, such as myself, aren't allowed Love. We certainly aren't allowed our own Happy Ever After... so there was no point looking anymore. Just carry on with my newfound mission.... punishing the bad women of the world and rescuing the abused. But then she came along.... this new woman... She confused everything with the way she acts around me. Does she love me like I imagine her to or is she just another one of the many teases.... or maybe I'm just reading the signals wrong. No. I'm sure that's not the case. She seems to be genuine... and genuinely interested. They say you find Love when you stop looking. Is that what's happened? I stopped looking and Love found me?! Maybe All Good Things do come to those that wait...." Told through Peter's eyes - 'All Good Things' is the gripping, and twisted, conclusion to Peter's story. Will he really find the Happy Ever After he's so desperate for or will it be yet another dead-end (and dead girl)?

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.
