MATTHEW GRAHAM SCARSBROOK is a prize-winning screenwriter and novelist. He is the author of two historical suspense novels, THE MARLOWE CONSPIRACY and POISON IN THE BLOOD: THE MEMOIRS OF LUCREZIA BORGIA.
Matthew was born in Vancouver, Canada in 1981, but has lived and studied in three countries: Great Britain, Canada, and the United States. In particular, he has intimate knowledge of English history and culture: his family are all British and he has lived the majority of his life in England. This cultural experience is an important influence on his work.
He has a BA in Philosophy from The University of British Columbia, and an MA in Screenwriting from CSU Northridge. As a student, his scripts were twice selected for performance at the cinema department's annual showcase -- an unprecedented achievement in the department's history.
He recently adapted THE MARLOWE CONSPIRACY into a screenplay and won the nationwide Writers On The Storm Screenwriting Contest, placing first out of 1000 entries. This script has also ranked within the top 30 at the Nicholl Fellowships, the most prestigious screenwriting contest in the world.
Matthew now lives in Southern Gloucestershire and is currently at work on a new detective series.
