Meet the Author
Hi, I’m Matt Twinley – children’s author, former English teacher, history enthusiast and founder of Landmark Legends.
I started this series because I believe storytelling is one of the best ways to bring history to life. Each book reimagines a real place along with its history and legends through exciting characters, heartwarming moments, and plenty of action.
My goal is simple: to get kids reading, imagining and asking questions about their history and the world around them.
When I’m not writing, you’ll find me exploring castles, scribbling new ideas, or sharing stories with my own little adventurer at home.
