Matt Gantry’s journey is one of resilience, transformation, and the power of storytelling. Once a truck driver navigating the open roads, his life took an unexpected turn after a devastating accident that forced him to redefine his future. Rather than letting adversity define him, Matt embraced writing as a means of healing, ultimately becoming the author of The Gamer—a thrilling story that blends his passion for gaming with his own life experiences.

"Writing became my way of processing everything—the pain, the uncertainty, the new reality I had to face. I never expected it to become something more, but storytelling gave me a purpose I never saw coming.”

The Gamer by Matt Gantry is a gripping novel that tells the story of Harry Fearn, a video game enthusiast, with a love for the SAS ( Special Air Service) who finds himself in a real-life hostage situation. Drawing on his gaming skills, Harry navigates the dangerous scenario, using his strategic thinking and quick reflexes to outsmart the terrorists. The book, inspired by Gantry's own life experiences—including the accident that led him to pursue writing—seamlessly weaves action, suspense, and personal growth into a high-stakes narrative.

Matt’s journey from truck driver to author wasn’t just about personal reinvention—it was about finding a voice and sharing a story that resonates. His dedication to storytelling has now led him to expand The Gamer into a six-part series, as well as an audiobook adaptation that brings his world to life in a whole new way.

Matt lives by the belief that even the most unexpected challenges can lead to extraordinary transformations. His work is a testament to the idea that resilience, creativity, and passion can open doors we never imagined.
