S. L. Matthews is an 18th & 19th century living history reenactor, hobbyist photographer, and avid writer of the Victorian Era and the Old West. She grew up in the past, weaving on a loom and producing period rifle and accoutrement straps for reenactors, museums, movies, and television worldwide. Now she weaves three-dimensional characters through unusual plots and focuses on stories largely untold through history. When she’s not dressed in Victorian Era and Old West attire, you can find her outside photographing Tennessee landscapes and living history, tackling her garden with her Welsh Corgi and Anatolian Shepherd, scouting shops for old books and historical treasures, and of course, always researching and writing novels. S. L. Matthews is the author of Nickel’s Luck and “Ravens in the Graveyard.” She lives in Sparta, Tennessee with her family.
