Hello, I'm MG Mason, real name Matt.

I was born in Swindon in the 1970s but currently living on the Cornish south coast.

I'm a web content writer by trade but fiction is my first love.

How would I describe my work? Well, a friend once asked "have you considered writing a book in one genre without throwing two other genres into the same story?" Until that point I hadn't realised just how much mashing up genres defined my work.

They were right of course. But what else can you expect from a scifi nerd with an archaeology degree?

These days, when not writing for businesses or fiction, I'm usually found somewhere in Cornwall with a camera attached to my face.

This Scene from Dead Heat Began Life as a Dream

Dead Heat was my first attempt at writing a novella. Even though my style has changed, I was (and remain) pleased with the outcome.

You may not know that it was inspired by a dream I had about myself and two friends on a zombie run that – yes, you guessed it – ends up in the middle of a real zombie outbreak.

Specifically, this (spoiler free) scene.


The trio stopped when Mike shouted.

I don't normally do romance but after reading a few reviews and a few comments from the author themselves, decided to take a chance on it.

I'm glad I did.

Question: Why do I love indie books?
Answer: Because they're just so imaginative and diverse.

"I adored this romantic, surprising novella!

Everyone mentions "the twist" and even though I was looking for it I couldn't predict it. It's beautifully executed in a way which is rapidly becoming one of Em's trademarks. I wonder how on earth they come " Read more of this review »
