Alan Matkovic grew up on the East Coast in Rockville, Maryland. In his early years, Alan found himself more interested in swimming and playing sports than anything scholastic. It wasn’t until he attended the prestigious Arizona State University, where he majored in history, that he discovered the nourishment of books. He fell in love with reading and writing, as well as a beautiful Midwestern girl he luckily met in nutrition class. She later became his wife. Alan now lives in Columbia, MD, with his wife and three inspiring children. Like many parents, Alan began making up bedtime stories for his kids to help them go to sleep, though many times they became a lot more excited than sleepy. Suffice it to say, a few stories were repeatedly requested, and those tales become the groundwork for The Amazing Adventure series. The first edition of the series, The Magic House, was published in October 2017. Currently, there are two more books in the Adventure series. Alan enjoys working, writing, producing and, of course, exploring with his children. Life is an adventure, why not make it fun and interesting.
