Matt Duff

I was born in 1969 in Sidcup, Kent. My father was a Chief Inspector in the Metropolitan police and my mother was a housewife. I grew up and went to school in Bexley, Kent. My love of writing started from a young age as I was always reading and had a creative mind.

Teachers were impressed with my writing and moved me up to higher English groups. My writing was exhibited to the school. I am married to a teacher and have one son. I have been a highly qualified independent driving instructor for 15 years. During this time I studied hypnotherapy as this was a topic that interested me. Over the years, I have been writing for pleasure as this has always been my passion and now feel I would like to take my writing to the next level.

The supernatural has always intrigued me and with my experience in hypnotherapy, I decided to combine these subjects to inspire my writing. I myself am a believer and I have personally witnessed the presence of spirits. Although some of my supernatural short stories are stand alone, many of them follow the lives of Thomas Dunn, a medium, and Ian Baker, a counsellor and hypnotherapist, who help people contact loved ones who have departed and find answers to various mysteries through cases that are often passed to them from Scotland Yard.
