Matthew Van Cura is currently living at home in an attempt to become a successful hack writer. A recent graduate of the College of William and Mary, Mr. Van Cura hopes to put his mercenary skills to good use as a contributing writer here at the Suite.

Graduating with a B.A. in English with a minor in Anthropology, interests range from poetry to the sexual upbringing of Samoan teenagers. While at the College, Mr. Van Cura was the poetry and fiction editor for the recently revived Gallery Lit Mag, as well as a contributing writer for the Flat Hat Newspaper and a middling poet.

This is not his first attempt to break into the blogosphere, you can read his middling poetry at http://wannabewriter20.livejournal.com/. But don't. Really.
