About the Author
Matthew Richardson was born in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada, in 1966. He began his professional career as a writer of historical non-fiction, although for the past several years he has mainly worked on academic projects related to wildlife conservation. These days he is mainly devoted to an ambitious "Global Survey of Threatened and Recently-Extinct Vertebrates," consisting of both a book project as well as a taxonomic database of all living vertebrates. He also continues to write fiction on the side, and indeed will be releasing a novel directly on Amazon Kindle in 2015. A lifelong traveller with a particular passion for European and Classical art and literature, he still resides in his hometown of Markham, just outside of Toronto.
