About the Author

Matt Socha is the author of "Deconstructing Narcissism" and the three-part THE WHEEL series. his first work of fiction.

"The Toxic States of America," his first book, is a socio-cultural commentary examining dysfunctional organizations of various sizes and the various negative effects they can have on their members. His second delves deeper into the personality type typically at the helm of such organizations, that of malignant narcissism.

His impetus for writing his works emerged after working for a number of dysfunctional organizations, all of which resulted in some sort of catastrophe. After noticing the same trends were apparent at the national level, he wrote the first book. After determining the common denominator to be malignant narcissism, he wrote the second.

Since it is both easier and more entertaining to learn by illustration, Socha decided the next step would be to create a fictional work incorporating the content of his two previous book. Socha was further inspired to write THE WHEEL series after researching a now-extinct group of Christians known as the Cathars. During this time, he also stumbled across literature pertaining to the End Times as depicted amongst various religious denominations. The stories behind both, he came to realize, would made an excellent backstory to examine deeper truths into human nature, behavior, and psychology. His previous two works of non-fiction heavily influenced the contents of THE WHEEL series.

Also influencing Socha's non-fiction works and first trilogy is George Orwell's "1984" and "Animal Farm" along with elements from the Book of Enoch and various texts commonly referred to as the "Gnostic Gospels." Some readers will also notice allusions to the works of Arthur C. Clarke and Stanley Kubrick.

Socha was born and raised in the United States. A former biochemist, Farmer also has extensive experience in management, acting, and design. Having a keen interest in psychology, he is also an independent researcher who has delved into broadening his understanding of various religions (both present and past), secret societies, and various world governments.
