About Me
- John Matthew
- I write as a habit, I must. I make a living out of writing for software companies and websites. You can read about me, my short stories, and a synopsis of my novel at my website and my main blog. Also, some of my uncles have been great writers in Malayalam, real pioneers. I have been working on my novel "The Love Song of Luke Varkey". Right now I am in talks with some publishers who seem to be interested. Also I have recently finished writing a travelogue on Kerala, my native state. Some pictures of my life and times are here. My poems are here; my short stories are here; my book reviews and essays are here, do visit and leave your hand print.

Reading a Poem at Oxford Book Store
This is me reading our poem "Fires of the Faithless" at Oxford Book Store during the Sept. 2008 Caferati meet. The poem has a subtle subtext in these troubled times, or, so we feel.
