Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

Hey all,

I've been gone awhile and I thought I would update on what I've been doing. As some of you know, I've an amateur writer with greater aspirations. A few days ago I got my first story published. It's a short story in a compilation of fantasy and horror stories. The book is SOMEWHERE SOUTH OF REASON.

In other news, my first novel (still unpublished) won first prize for science fiction in a recent competition hosted by the Florida Writer's Association.

I miss hanging out at BG, but writing is time consuming and to get where I want to be requires complete dedication. It's been fun and I wish you all the best.

Congrats Matt! A small step in a good direction.

And...what do you mean you have no time for BG?!? That's just crazy talk.

Congrats man, that's amazing! A first big step to be followed by many more I expect

CONGRATULATIONS! Book will be the next one I purchase when I finish my current one. Good to hear from you and glad you are enjoying your chosen direction. Good luck with your novel and keep us posted.


EDIT: Errrmm....maybe not, adult fantasy??? Matt, who knew this was your writing style!

what is you book about SOMEWHERE SOUTH OF REASON.

It's not erotic. It's fantasy for adults. The book is a compilation of stories that center around a mythical island off the coast of florida. Think shapeshifters, magic, sea monsters--things like that.

That's pretty awesome! Congrats !! I hope things slow down for you a bit and you can pop in every now and then. I saw you sign in but I wasn't fast enough to say helloooo

Ah, good to hear, Amazon makes it a little hazy so they could clarify that a bit! Again, congrats Matt and thanks for dropping a line on the forums!
