  <about><![CDATA[Matthew Woodring Stover is an American fantasy and science fiction author. He is perhaps best known for his &lt;i&gt;Star Wars&lt;/i&gt; novels -- &lt;i&gt;Traitor, Shatterpoint, Revenge of the Sith&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor&lt;/i&gt;. He has also published several pieces of original work, such as &lt;i&gt;Heroes Die&lt;/i&gt;, which Stover described as 'a piece of violent entertainment that is a meditation on violent entertainment'. Stover's work often emphasises moral ambiguity, psychological verisimilitude and bursts of intense violence. 

Stover is deeply interested in various forms of martial arts, having trained in the Degerberg Blend, a concept that utilises the thought behind Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do as its foundation. ]]></about>  <influences><![CDATA[Michael Moorcock, Fritz Leiber, Roger Zelazny, Stephen Donaldson, Robert Heinlein]]></influences>  <gender>male</gender>
