Behind the Scenes
To protect his identity I renamed him Matt Eggbert in the revamped stories because his mom indicated they originally wanted to name him Eggbert when he was born.
Matt was my one of my main 'interests' during high school and thus a huge influence with the first run of stories. We became good friends during Freshman year but we had a falling out so I had to write him out in Back in Time 2 for the original saga. When I revised the stories I killed him earlier in the series Reality and swapped him out for Mike Quartz a fictional character to represent my secret love interest.
