He has a scar on his arm that he can’t remember getting, but a terrible darkness floods his mind when he considers it. He now lives in a quiet market town in rural England with his wife and three children, and despite being a writer, he still hasn’t found the right words to properly express the delight and joy he finds in this wonderful arrangement.</p><p>His surname rhymes with “Dopey”, but any other similarities to the dwarf are purely coincidental. He is the Golden Pen winner for&nbsp;<em>Writers of the Future</em>&nbsp;Volume 32 (2016), was shortlisted for the James White Award in 2016, and has fiction out and forthcoming all over the place; you can keep up with it at&nbsp;<a href=\"https://mattdovey.com/\" target=\"_blank\">mattdovey.com</a>, or follow along on&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/MattDoveyWriter/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https://twitter.com/mattdoveywriter\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter</a>.</p>","author_name":"Tony C Smith"}
