Welcome to our website!

 

        Here you can learn more about our books or about the authors. The Matty Trescott books are historical fiction, but there are lots of real people and real events in the stories. Many teachers and middle-school age readers have already discovered the magic of the story of Matty and Neely. We hope that you enjoy reading the books as much as we enjoyed writing them.
