A <em>franco-californien </em>armed with a wok and a word processor, <strong>R. Jean Mathieu</strong> has hailed sail, served tea, hung beef, organized unions, and once even used his own coat as a zip-line sixteen stories above the streets of Hong Kong. He writes every flavor of fiction under a variety of <em>noms de plume.</em> He and his wife, Melissa, and daughter, Lyra, keep a good table when not writing side-by-side or chasing trains to the next adventure.<br><br>You can find Mathieu’s award-winning stories on Books2Read or wherever better books are sold, find the man himself on Patreon (patreon.com/rjeanmathieu) and find his reviews and philosophizing at RJeanMathieu.com.
