About Mathew Moslow

I write about the things most people only whisper about in therapy.

Called voraciously curious, Mathew Moslow treats divorce as a beginning. He wrote his breakout memoir, and its original five-song soundtrack, while he was a nursing student in a rigorous bachelor's program. Today he works as a registered nurse. His upcoming thriller reflects his range, rooted firmly in his Jamaican heritage. He writes stories where ambition, addiction, and reinvention share the same stage, built on raw honesty and direct self-examination.

Six chapters

The story so far

Chapter 01 · Montego Bay

Jamaican Roots

I grew up gay in Montego Bay. That sentence is simple. Living it was not. I learned to read rooms before I learned to read books. I learned what to hide, who to become, how to make myself small enough to survive a place that did not have space for what I was.

Chapter 02 · Divorce & Transformation

The Pressure Cooker Method

When Aaron and I decided to end our marriage, we did not follow the script. No lawyers in separate rooms. No weaponized silence. We sat across from each other with a therapist and we said the things married people are not supposed to say out loud. We called it the pressure cooker method. It was brutal. It was clarifying. And when it was over, we were still friends. I did not expect that.

Chapter 03 · Memoir

A Novel Divorce

I wrote a memoir about my divorce and then I scored it with original music. The writing part took years. The singing part nearly broke me. Both required the same thing: sitting with something uncomfortable long enough to find the shape of it, and then handing it to a stranger.

Chapter 04 · Thriller in progress

Beyond the Reach of Justice

My second book is a thriller set in Jamaica. A disinherited nurse. Colonial law. A revenge plot that unfolds over twelve months. People ask how I jumped from memoir to crime fiction. I tell them I have always been interested in what people do when they run out of acceptable options.

Chapter 05 · Psychology & Healing

Academic Pursuits

I study developmental and behavioral psychology. I have participated in ayahuasca ceremonies and psilocybin-assisted sessions. I have sat in lecture halls and in sweat lodges. I do not rank these experiences. They are all part of the same question: how do people change, and what does it cost them?

Chapter 06 · Present day · Florida

Living Fully

I live in Florida with my dog Amber. I finished my nursing degree. I work as a registered nurse now. I am writing another book. I am trying to be the kind of person who does not need a performance to feel safe in a room. Some days I succeed. Most days I am still practicing.
