Matthew Ward

Matthew Ward is a British author known for his contributions to fantasy and speculative fiction. After a decade as a principal architect for Games Workshop’s "Warhammer" and "Warhammer 40,000" franchises, he transitioned to crafting original worlds and narratives. His works are celebrated for their immersive settings and intricate storytelling, appealing to readers who seek richly imagined magical realms.

Ward’s writing is deeply influenced by his fascination with historic places, including castles, ancient cities, and the London Underground. This passion for atmospheric locales often translates into vividly detailed settings within his novels. Residing near Nottingham with his wife and several cats, he balances his creative pursuits with an admitted overabundance of musical instruments—most of which he humorously acknowledges he cannot play well.

Dedicated to bringing more magic into the world through his stories, Ward continues to write for audiences who share his love of fantastical adventures. His career reflects a commitment to world-building, whether through his earlier work in established universes or his current explorations of original fiction.
