Thank You For Visiting my site
At this moment I would like to open the door a little further and invite you to look at some of my stories. They are mainly about the trials of those who are considered a little different. The ones that are usually outcast or misplaced as a result of being overlooked or misunderstood.
My writings focus on the fact that such individuals are indeed contributions to society. Their moment arrives when they are called upon and prevail with their character. In the end they get their just reward; respect followed by acceptance.
When it’s all said and done, I want my reader motivated with a warm feeling inside. I will write stories for the rest of my life with the hope that I can create happiness, bring encouragement and ultimately inspire.
Thank you and enjoy!

Matt Shea Books Presents
The Mysterious World Of Slot Machines
The Casino Down the Street distills a three-year study on casinos and the overall dangers of gambling addiction. Just as all of my books are based on true stories, this one is also. I decided to “get in the saddle” and gamble (despite being warned against it by my father) and soon fell into the hole (literally) of addiction. With spiritual intervention, I was able to “get on the wagon” and use all of my experiences to write this book. I hope that it will help you or someone close to you.
In addition to my personal experience, we will also examine the following:
* How a casino ticks
* The types of gamblers
* Are you addicted
* Do casinos intentionally get patrons hooked
* Why the “golden years” are a golden goose for casinos
“I will accept anything that showers me with gifts.”
When Sadie Collins stretched out her arms and yelled this “oath” to the universe, something was listening. Soon the materialistic girl “finds” a stunning yet spooky slot machine that starts fulfilling her wishes – and turning her life upside down. Known as “Pavlov,” the machine demands allegiance for its magic … or there will be Hell to pay!
Once Sadie realizes something otherworldly is at play, she seeks the help of a pastor, and a parishioner who had fallen under a similar spell. Will God-given talent and wisdom prevail against demonic trickery?

Readers Reviews
The King of Coalman's Hill
Another wonderful story from Matt. Brought back memories of winters of my youth sledding in the Northeast and the closeness of family and friends that used to exist. Feel good with some real life pain and sorrow.

Matt Shea writes with all of us in mind. This book discusses gossip and it’s dangers in a small town, discrimination of many kinds, that counseling can help even the most manly of men. I found many characters that I grew to like. Finally, faith in God solved the towns problems. Read to find out how a butterfly illustrates how God sends us signs of his love.

Matt Shea is a developing author, having published eleven books. He is greatly inspired by the writings of Andy Griffith and focuses on the common folk that small towns are made of. He credits the success of his first book, “The Groundskeeper And Other Short Stories” to his family. The values that were instilled throughout his childhood gave him the strong sense of justice that is conveyed through his writings. The Shea family is only an average American family from an average neighborhood. Their secret was that they were close knit and accepted others.
