"I feel as though I've spent the past 50 years doing research and study in order to come up with the content for my books. I knew I wanted to be a writer since I was 13 years old, but first I needed to discover and learn something truly valuable to write about via the best teachers there are-firsthand life experiences and going within. I see writing as a process-only the final step of which is putting words to paper."-Matthew Stubbs
