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.

by Matthew Rossi on January 5, 2016 at 11:00am @MatthewWRossi

Half the time Alex and I agree on things. The other half, we absolutely don’t. Let’s see if I end up answering a ton of questions about Night Elves or Druids today.

This is The Queue. Sadly no dinosaurs helped me write this one.

Breakfast Topic: Are you okay with broken immersion

by Matthew Rossi on January 4, 2016 at 8:00am @MatthewWRossi
