About

Matthew Hamill, writing as Maddox Hale, is a Northern Irish author and photographer with a passion for layered storytelling and atmospheric detail. Drawing inspiration from the quiet tension of spy dramas, fractured identity, and the haunting beauty of Belfast’s streets, he crafts gripping tales where nothing is as it seems. The Tales Of Emma: Ghostwell Protocol is his debut novel — a dark, twisting journey into memory, espionage, and the search for truth. When he’s not writing, Matthew captures the landscapes of Northern Ireland through the lens of his camera under the name MatthewPhotographs.
