edit data

C.L. Matthews is a USA TODAY Bestselling Author who lives in lala-landia with their husband and invisible friends. They're queer and Mexican-American, and love to write as many diverse characters as they can. They want to riot the lack of authentic Mexican food in their state but will settle for cooking their own dishes in the meantime. They enjoys tacos, Red Bull, and warm water, because they're crazy. They're an oddball and realize it’s been mentioned before, just go with it. Their joys in life consist of writing unconventional romances, making book covers, causing havoc to her reader’s hearts, and genre-hopping when they need a change of scenery. They're a special kind of weird and enjoy every moment of it. ...more

Not just personally, but for my growth as an author as well.
We've come to the inevitable end, the goodbye, the bittersweet farewell.
And as I look back at the year, I'm stunned at everything I've done. For a moment, I'll be real with you.

“It’s so hard realizing how you were such a huge part of my life, one I couldn’t visualize living without you in it, just to have you stripped from me by each inhale and exhale. The essence of you lives in me, in them, in him, but I wonder when I’ll be able to breathe safely again. Do you see the tears? Do you hear the cries? Do you feel my pain, too? Where are you?-Lo”
― C.L. Matthews, Inhale, Exhale.
