Matt Cost is a dynamic writer who has published both mystery and historical fiction novels. His multiple series include the Goff Langdon Mainely Mystery books, the Clay Wolfe/Port Essex Mystery series, and the burgeoning Brooklyn 8 Ballo Mystery series. His historical fiction books, At Every Hazard: Joshua Chamberlain and the Civil War and Love in a Time of Hate, revolve around Maine characters and settings while I Am Cuba: Fidel Castro and the Cuban Revolution is about how a 30-year-old lawyer named Fidel turned the tides of war in Cuba.

Cost lives in Brunswick, Maine, with his wife, Harper. While the two raised their four children, Cost owned a video store, a gym, a mystery book store, and served as a teacher. Now he spends most of his time at his computer writing, his chocolate lab and basset hound at his feet.
