Matthew Rossi

Matthew Rossi @MatthewWRossi — Matthew Rossi is a synapsid, perhaps descended from Cynognathus. He was born in Providence, Rhode Island, and grew up there before leaving to see the world and be mistaken for a sasquatch and/or minor singing celebrity in various locales. He currently lives and writes in Edmonton alongside his amazing and beautiful wife and their cats. He’s written three collections of speculative fiction, Things That Never Were, Bottled Demon and At Last, Atlantis. He loves playing warriors in World of Warcraft, barbarians in Diablo III, and he’s beginning to notice a pattern here.

I am absolutely Matthew Rossi and not a talking sword or a striped equid. I’m absolutely not an ancient synapsid fin-backed evolutionary cousin to mammals either. Nope. Don’t ask. I won’t respond.

What is coming back to WoW like for you?

Off Topic: Why you would like Midnight’s Children by Salman Rushdie

by Matthew Rossi on February 28, 2019 at 2:00pm @MatthewWRossi

This isn't going to be a review of Midnight's Children -- I'd need a lot more space to do Salman Rushdie's epic of India as it went from a British Colony to an independent nation, and frankly I don't think I'm smart enough to do it justice.
