The Matchbox Man

In an abandoned, old, run-down hotel. In a secret room at the top of the staircase behind a bookcase in the library lives The Matchbox Man. Some people think he is good and kind, as he will give you moments in time which are frozen. But there is also a dark side to the Matchbox Man. If you do not have a child by the time you are 30 years old, your matchbox moments frozen in time will vanish. You will become the Matchbox Man locked in the secret room waiting for another pure-hearted child to rescue you.

Zoe is 44 years old and mother to six beautiful children. She has loved writing from a young age but never completed any of her stories she has wrote, let alone been brave enough to go to a publisher. During COVID-19 lockdown, she had the opportunity to write while she was being furloughed from a hotel she had been working at as a restaurant supervisor for the last seven years. She completed her story and took the leap she needed to enter the list of published authors.
