Brief Author Bio: Matt Sinclair has been working as a professional journalist since the early 1990s, covering philanthropy, business, sports, the arts, and anything else that piques his interest. While writing nonfiction to pay the bills, he has also continued to write fiction, poetry, and song lyrics. During the mid-1990s, he formed several musical groups and performed his original songs in New York City, Hoboken, NJ, and several other "somewheres" where a few somewhat inebriated friends got together. Though recent additions to his family have made spare time even more scarce than usual, Sinclair hopes to use the 2009 NaNo to get closer to finishing the manuscript he began during the 2008 NaNo; the numbers will start at zero, though everything builds on the more than 15,000 words that were put into place last year. Looking to 2010, he intends to get back into a regular writing routine while reviving his dormant attempt to gain representation for his completed manuscript and advancing the current work in progress. |

Synopsis: Blood Falls
Continuing the manuscript begun during NaNo '08, when I wrote 15,213 words.
Bonnie is a scientist who conducts field studies in a region of Antarctica known as Blood Falls, a spot her father had studied for decades. She returns home after learning of the sudden, unexpected death of both her parents during an auto accident. Once back in California, she must deal not only with her own sorrow but also the unresolved conflicts with her siblings she went literally to the end of the world to avoid. And as she and an Antarctica helicopter pilot share emails and blogposts, she recognizes that she misses more than her work on the ice.
