Matthew Iden is the prolific author of the Marty Singer detective series--A Reason to Live, Blueblood, One Right Thing, The Spike, The Wicked Flee, and Once Was Lost--as well as several acclaimed stand-alone novels. Iden's eclectic resume includes jobs with the US Postal Service, international nonprofit groups, a short stint with the Forest Service in Sitka, Alaska, and time with the globe-spanning Semester at Sea program. Trips to Iceland, Patagonia, and Antarctica have given him a world of inspiration. Iden currently lives in Northern Virginia--close enough to the woods to keep his sanity, close enough to the Washington, DC, Capital Beltway to lose it.
