Matthew Farrell's next
book, I Know Everything,
comes out Aug. 6.
Matthew Farrell: Building suspense
The vice president of commercial banking at $1 billion-asset Tompkins Mahopac Bank moonlights as an author of
thrilling novels, including a debut that landed on The Washington Post's national bestselling fiction list.
There's no point in my life I remember not writing. I
think I was just born with the ability and drive to do it. Even
as a kid, I would write stories in a notebook. It took a little
longer to get published, but here I am. I got one book out,
one book coming out, and it's been a spectacular debut so
far. I always have been writing, and it's just a part of me.
I was raised on Stephen King novels. That was a huge
part of our family, the fun horror movies, the scary and suspenseful
stories. That's where my love for the thriller genre
came from. As far as the procedural aspect of my books,
my dad was a police offi cer, so I saw that dynamic where
other offi cers become extensions of your family, because

the camaraderie is so close. That kind of played off in my
book What Have You Done (2018). The main characters
are brothers, but they're also cops. But my inspiration has
always been drawn from writers like Stephen King, Harlan
Coben, Dean Koontz, and the movies.
It's absolutely surreal. You chase your dream for 20 years
and it comes true. You think you're prepared, and you've
fantasized about that moment, but it's not reality. I go to
these writing conventions, and I'm hanging out with authors
that I've read, and I'm kind of, like, in the club now. It's so
weird! It's an awesome thing to happen, but strange at the
same time.
