Matthew Hattersley

Matthew Hattersley was born in Yorkshire, UK. Over the past twenty years he has toured Europe in a rock and roll band, trained as a professional actor, and founded a theatre and media company.

He’s also had plenty of extremely boring jobs to help sustain his creative endeavours.

His bestselling Acid Vanilla series follows a wily but flawed former assassin who, while pursuing a bloody mission of vengeance, begins to discover that helping others may offer the redemption she never expected.

He is also the author of the new John Beckett series and the standalone novels Cookies and Double Bad Things.

He lives in Derbyshire, UK with his wife and daughter, and remains uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person.
