Jimmy Matejek-Morris grew up in New Jersey as the middle child of five kids. He enjoys musical theater, Muppets, ice cream, and action figures. His favorite activity is excitedly pointing out every animal he sees only to disappointedly realize that sometimes what looks like an armadillo in a top hat is just a plastic bag. He currently lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts with his husband, Scott, and a very well-dressed poodle-Pomeranian named Rudy. My Ex-Imaginary Friend is his debut novel.
