Discovering Wattpad

I joined Wattpad last year, when Eden was new. Basically, I was looking into any and every way to get the word out there. Unfortunately, I never went back to the site after creating my account. It appears to be a very popular site for reading and writing content (free & otherwise). From what I can [...]

I can now autograph Kindle books!

Believe it! Evan Jacobs had this brilliant idea to make eBooks a tad more personal. So, he created the site (kindlegraph.com) to allow us writers to send you Kindlers a small personal message and signature for our books. I’m pretty sure there’s a 15 cents delivery fee per 1 MegaByte of the sig (no, I [...]

Matt Grab Bag – Choc FULL!

No, please don’t grab my bag. Lots of great stuff in here! Globetrotters, interviews, pricing updates, contact from a publisher, Babylon update and more! Strap-in and open wide. Hot lunch coming up: Choose or Die! What? You’re not reading the current choose-you-own-adventure story about the cop and the Globetrotters? Shame on you! I wrote a “kill scene” [...]

More on P-L-O-T

I reviewed Hunger Games recently and I left this bit out of my review. Mainly because it would have spurned me into a tangent from which I may have never recovered. There are less spoilers here than in my review, so it’s quite safe to read if you haven’t gotten to the book yet. As [...]

Camping Book Reviews! (2011 edition)

Well, I’m back from a very lazy week on my camping chair. Just like I did last year, I crammed some reading in-between naps and chasing the kids around. I read 1.5 books on my new iPhone and 1 paperback from the legendary Bookbarn in Niantic CT. The reviews below only contain minor spoilers, though likely less [...]

Amendments!

Time to amend my airplane rules. Amendment #1: Don’t bring your yippy dog into the passenger cabin without a tranq. It is an animal and it will be fine in the cargo area. No, you are wrong to debate me. If your animal requires constant contact with your skin, perhaps you should drive to your destination. [...]

Have Doubt? Have Faith

If you have yet to read Eden…what are you waiting for? In all honesty, I wasn’t sure I would like Eden…This is a book that will make you think, question, and wonder. Those are the stories that stick with you over time, when other works of fiction are long forgotten. To also borrow a few [...]
