We’re thrilled to welcome Matthew Betley, author of the Logan West series, as our newest client! Hit the jump for more about this Marine-turned-novelist:
Matthew Betley grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, which he considers home after his family moved there from New Jersey, where he was born. He attended Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, where he graduated with a B.A. in psychology and minors in political science and sociology. He also spent the first semester of senior year investigating felony murder cases as an intern in Washington, D.C., for the Public Defender’s Office. Upon graduation, he worked in corporate America for five years in Cincinnati before joining the Marine Corps in 1999. Matt spent ten years as a Marine officer and was trained as a scout sniper platoon commander, an infantry officer, and a ground intelligence officer. His experiences include deployments to Djibouti after 9/11, and Fallujah, Iraq, both in staff officer support billets, although he learned that enemy rocket and mortar fire don’t discriminate between billet types.
The first three books in the Logan west series, OVERWATCH, OATH OF HONOR, and FIELD OF VALOR, all received critical acclaim, and RULES OF WAR is coming out July 16, 2019. RULES has also been picked by Dana Perino at Fox News as the Dana Perino Book Club Selection for Fox Nation.
