wandering matt

Author: Matt Larson

With my first book, 4000s by 40, released this fall, I am fulfilling a lifelong dream of writing, and am excited to continue the journey of storytelling with future projects—so much so that the day after I published 4000s by 40, I began my next work. Much of my inspiration comes from nature. My early love for the ocean, found on the South Shore of Massachusetts, has transitioned into a deep passion for the mountains here in New Hampshire, and I wanted to share that with my first book. If you’d like to connect or have any inquiries, you can reach out to me at [email protected]. I’m also on Instagram and Facebook at wanderingmatt8. Happy reading!

This is also the first day I’m not nervous…

It’s All Embarrassing, Let it Roll

Posted on November 9, 2021March 31, 2025

I have a proposal that I think could solve a lot of the problems we have here in the United States. Now it’s well-documented that inmates are having a tough time finding jobs after their incarceration, because nobody wants to hire a convict. It’s also no secret that American children are falling behind those of…

It’s Not The Winning, But The Faith

Posted on November 8, 2021May 22, 2025

For the last year I’ve been taking the fight directly to the nerve damage in my spine, yelling at it, screaming at it, telling it that under no circumstances is it going to beat me. I keep saying to it, myself, and sometimes God, I’m gonna win. I’m gonna win damnit! Win! I also say…
