About the Author

Matthew Wilson

Matthew Wilson writes the kinds of stories that sneak up on you, simple on the surface but full of warmth, wit, and wonder. With a natural eye for the everyday moments that often go unnoticed, he brings humor and heart to tales that feel both familiar and delightfully unexpected. His debut, Hagar’s Big Adventure, was inspired by a real-life incident involving his cat, Hagar, who once boldly (and unapologetically) joined a neighborhood parade. That one rogue adventure sparked a story that captures the curious spirit of animals and the quietly profound ways they reflect our own lives. Though Matthew’s writing leans whimsical, there’s always something deeper beneath the fur and fluff. Readers can expect vivid scenes, quirky characters (sometimes with paws), and gentle insights wrapped in cozy storytelling. When he's not writing, Matthew is usually lost in music, curating an ever-growing collection of odd trivia, or gently arguing that the book is better than the movie because, of course, it usually is. He lives with his opinionated feline co-star, who still considers himself the real author of the household.

About the Book – Hagar’s Big Adventure

Imagine you’re a housecat used to sunbeams, the occasional chin scratch, and the mysterious allure of a closed door. Then, one day, you find yourself in the middle of a parade. That’s exactly what happens in Hagar’s Big Adventure. Told from the (often sarcastic, always observant) perspective of Hagar, the cat, this whimsical tale explores a very real moment. This surprise escape led to an unforgettable stroll through a neighborhood celebration. But it’s more than just fur and fireworks. Hagar’s story is about noticing the little things, adapting to the big ones, and letting your curiosity carry you into the unexpected. It’s for readers who like their stories with a touch of magic, a dose of mischief, and a whole lot of heart. If you’ve ever looked at your pet and wondered what they're really thinking? This book is for you.
