Gerald C. Matics -- Author

Gerald C. Matics was born in Philadelphia and has lived most of his life in the area, save for a brief stint in Illinois.  Gerald received his B.A. in English with a certificate in secondary education from Widener University.

As a writer, Gerald most often dramatizes what he knows best: the trials and triumphs of serious athletes.  A long-time competitive middle-distance runner (now semi-retired) with personal bests of 1:54.4 for 800 meters (indoors) and 4:12.6 for the mile, Gerald held multiple school records and qualified for the NCAA Division III National Indoor Track Championships in 1991.

Gerald also writes in other genres, including horror, sci-fi, and literary fiction.  He is currently shopping a novel manuscript and is working on its sequel.  Other projects include a stage play, a movie screenplay, a TV pilot, and of course more short stories.
