Matthew MacDevette is a novelist.

Matthew studied in Stellenbosch, Cape Town, and Oxford before moving to Johannesburg in 2013, where he happily remains with his wife and two terrible/wonderful cats. He spends most of his time on international development projects that try to make the best use of foreign aid in sub-Saharan Africa, and the rest writing novels that have nothing to do with that. Matthew is drawn to dark stories told with hope and humour, and can often be found trying to convince people to listen to THE OFFSPRING and watch LORD OF THE RINGS movie marathons.
