Who Am I
I’m Matthew Marchetti, and as of writing this (2025) I’m 25. I spent much of my childhood gallivanting outside, swinging Nerf swords with my friends, and dreaming of a world of knights and magic. Years later, and I’m working on creating that world in Fate of a Failed Dragon. The primary inspiration for my work (for having anything written at all) is my wife, Megan, who always reminds me, “You can’t edit a blank page.”
Goals
In short, I want to affect people. Truth dictates how we should live—you don’t keep your hand on a hot stove, and you don’t give in to temptation when the world says so. There is Truth everywhere—many times hidden behind layers of apathy or deceit—and so I want to provide a slice of that truth clear and visible through the characters, tones, and messages of my stories.
One of the biggest steps I can take to do that is to get my books published and in the mainstream view, so that’s what I’m aiming for. In the meantime, I want to share snippets of my work with the world and introduce you to who I am and how I write!
In the future, I plan to add a YouTube channel where my wife and I discuss writing concepts, share pieces of our work, and give an inner look into the creation process of our stories.
My Hope
I dream of a world where people genuinely seek out Truth no matter where they are. Once we accept the pillars of objective truth, we can see the world through a proper, realistic perspective and make steps towards understanding it and living as full people. Truth begins in God’s Word, fulfilled through the world, and applied in each of our lives.
I want my writing to further that world. It may be a small contribution, but even if I never get published and I put the whole of my stories on here, it will be good because I could at least reach someone.
