ABOUT PHOEBE

     Contemporary fantasy and paranormal books are my favorite reading. I love superheroes who save the universe, the planet, or at least the whole nation. But honestly, my own world is much smaller. So I like to write about people with limited powers who have only their wits and courage between themselves and evil.

INTERVIEW

Q: What do you like best about writing as a profession?

A: The real world is filled with problems I can’t solve. When I write, I create worlds with problems, and like me, my characters cannot solve all the problems. Unlike me, they do manage to solve quite a few.

Q: Where do you get ideas?

A: From everyone I meet. I love to listen to people, find out what motivates them and how they manage their lives. Also, I do that old thing of writing about what I know. And what I know is the many places I have lived. My favorite city is Seattle with its scenery and neighborhoods and maybe a magic corner or two.

REVIEWS for Tarbaby Trouble [Mudflat 1]

4 Stars: "Claire stepped into a stream to cool off, not knowing she was stepping through a doorway into another dimension. Standing before her was a handsome young man dressed like “Conan the Barbarian.” Thinking it is a joke, she tells him she flew over the mountain, and her name is Stargazer. “Conan” aka, Tarvik takes her captive. Quickly, she becomes embroiled in the intrigue surrounding Tarvik. Tarbaby Trouble is a delightful read. Phoebe Matthews creates her own secret world fraught with unknown dangers and magic. If you enjoy fantasy you will enjoy Tarbaby Trouble." —Debra Gaynor, Review Your Book

"Claire is a very independent heroine on the run from some unsavory characters and heads right into chaos in another time. She leaves her house in the care of the troll living in her basement and goes off in search of peace and quiet, what she finds is anything but. She meets a very ugly ruler, his hunky son, a priestess who flies, and a stable hand full of knowledge that may not be exactly what he seems. The cast of supporting characters makes this story a hit.
     Since this is the first of a series I can't wait to see what Claire and her band of barbarians are up to next! This may be one of the most unique book titles I have ever run across. What is Tarbaby? You'll just have to read it and see!" —Nancy Eriksen, Paranormal Romance
