Jack Matthews, a retired college professor, spent seven years writing his first novel—Arte Perdida. Research for this historically rich work of fiction took him throughout Germany and the Azores. He also spent a week in Portugal Cove, Newfoundland, meeting local folks, experiencing the customs and traditions, and exploring other background material for the book. Matthews grew up in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts, where he sailed and fished on Buzzards Bay, the setting for much of the novel. He was also a crew member of the Half Moon, an 85-foot replica of the ship that Henry Hudson sailed on the river that now bears his name. On one cruise, Matthews served as the ship’s cook on this square-rigged, three-masted wooden sailing vessel. He also sings with several groups and plays the trumpet, cornet, and flugelhorn. An avid genealogist, he has more than 9,500 names on his family tree.
