Matthew I Crawford (mcrawford76)

Writing has been a passion of mine from a very young age. I've always been told that it was one of my very best gifts in this world.

With that, when I'm not being a busy father of five girls I like to spend my time writing. I write on all sorts of topics from science and nature, comedy, poetry, and of course, horror stories.

I hope you stay for a while, and I hope you enjoy reading my hubs as much as I've enjoyed writing them.
