Matt Pallamary

His historical novel Land Without Evil details the first contact between shamans and Jesuits in 18th century South America. Having received rave reviews, a San Diego Book Award for mainstream fiction, and having been chosen as a Reading Group Choices selection, it was adapted into a full-length stage and sky show and became the subject of a PBS series, Arts in Context, which was nominated for an Emmy award.

A real life Indiana Jones… who is my next guest?

Matt Pallamary has kindly agreed to join me for Simon’s 10 Q Interviews.

His most recent book, A Short Walk to the Other Side was an Award Winning Finalist in the International Book Awards. The Infinity Zone won the International Book Award in the New Age nonfiction category and then of course there is Land Without Evil, which was not only award winning but went on to feature as a stage show and an EMMY Nominated TV documentary… Matt’s first book The small dark room of the soul was mentioned in The Year’s Best Horror and Fantasy. His second short story collection, Dreamland, co-written with Ken Reeth, won the 2002 Independent e-Book Award in the Horror/Thriller category.

Matt also received the Man of the Year 2000 from San Diego Writer’s Monthly Magazine. His memoir Spirit Matters detailing his journeys to Peru won first place in the San Diego Book Awards Spiritual Book Category, and was an Award-Winning Finalist in the autobiography/memoir category of the National Best Book Awards, sponsored by USA Book News.

He has been the guest of more nationally syndicated talk shows and radio shows than one can count and regularly speaks out about fading cultures.

For over 20 years Matt has lent his experience through teaching at various conferences including; the Southern California Writers’ Conference in San Diego, Palm Springs, and Los Angeles, and at the Santa Barbara Writers’ Conference. He has lectured at the Greater Los Angeles Writer’s Conference, the Getting It Write conference in Oregon, the Saddleback Writers’ Conference, the Rio Grande Writers’ Seminar, the National Council of Teachers of English, The San Diego Writer’s and Editor’s Guild, The San Diego Book Publicists, and he has been a panellist at the World Fantasy Convention, Con-Dor, and Coppercon. He is presently Editor in Chief of Muse Harbor Publishing.

A frequent visitor to the jungles, mountains, and deserts of North, Central, and South America pursuing his studies of shamanism and ancient cultures, I think Matt will relish the opportunity to climb aboard my Time Machine!
