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In other news, my first novel (still unpublished) won first prize for science fiction in a recent competition hosted by the Florida Writer's Association.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

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.

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!
