About the Author

Described by his partner as a big puppy dog, Matt Gregory is really just a big kid. A father of two and a crane operator from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, Matt has utilized his time in the cab to let his imagination flow onto paper (but don’t tell his boss that.) His mother’s stories of young Matt were the inspiration for his very first book. He is looking forward to keeping pen to paper and sharing more of his stories.
