Matt Belcher was born in England, UK in 1977. Although a proud Englishman who served his country and still gets emotional when the national anthem is played before a Rugby match he lives in San Diego, CA. Matt is a business consultant by trade and writer by passion. He credits his Mother for his creating story telling ability since she can make a creative story out of any facts. After writing a successful blog www.lifeturnaroundnow.com and Youtube channel www.youtube.com/lifeturnaroundnow Matt realized he had a passion for telling stories and started to write fiction in 2009. In 2012 he released his first 'real novel' - Mr Personal Development. A quick paced thriller about James Skye, Mr Personal Development. He also released a Children's book called 'Monkey Dog and Friends'. Matt is currently working on his second Novel 'The Believing Tree' and screenplay 'Backyard Buffalo'. He can be contacted via his writing blog at www.mattbelcherwrites.blogpost.com. Interview: - Q. Your first novel, Mr Personal Development is about a guy in the Self Help and Personal Development Industry. Why did you write about that? A. Well I actually love that industry. I have spent many hours sitting in conferences and reading books on all sorts of things to do with it. I really liked the idea that the people running the show had internal conflict but could never show it. Q. So is it a swipe at the industry? Anthony Robbins? A. Well maybe in a small tongue in check way. I respect anyone who is out there helping but at the same time I am also way looking at the characters and trying to figure out what they are thinking. What's their internal dialogue. Q. Do you have a genre? A. Well I guess Suspense/Thriller is my thing. I have written some romantic short stories but I always want to put some action in there! Q. What do you read when you are not writing? A. Oh gosh, so much. I have so many different things on my Kindle right now. Also books on the coffee table. I read fiction, romance, the latest whatever it is, animal communication books etc. Q. Name some for me. A. Ok J A Konrath books are great. I have read pretty much anything Raymond Feist as done. I am currently reading the Hunger Games series. Amanda Hocking's Hollow land series is also excellent. Bob Mayers Area 51 series. Deepak Chopra, Lynn Mc Taggart The Field, a book about animal communication, Cesar Millan books on animals. I can't think of any more right now. Q. So do you still read Personal Development books then? A. I think any book is actually just that. You can get something from everything you read. But yes I still read Personal Development specific books. Q. In Mr Personal Development, James Skye is the main character. Is he you? A. No. James is a very different person to me but there are some similarities between us. I think actually his internal conflict is something many men have. To make the right choice in a world of temptation.
