That's gotta be a pretty cool feeling- having your name on an actual list of books that someone has read?!EEEEEEEE!!!!
Oh, and I did do a rating/review on Amazon as you asked.
Yeah, it's a great feeling. Hopefully, I'll be on plenty of lists....just hopefully not any 'worst of' lists lolThat's gotta be a pretty cool feeling- having your name on an actual list of books that someone has read?!EEEEEEEE!!!!
Oh, and I did do a rating/review on Amazon as you asked.
I read the review and it was great. Hoping it entices some doubters to give the book a shot. For me as the author, the review was just sentences after that first sentence, "This book really got to me" = Mission Accomplished.I liked how you mentioned how the book is about more than the horror and violence, but it's about the broken people inside of all that horror and violence, and all of the horror and violence inside of them, so Mission Accomplished x 2

Matt, offer a print version, por favor!
A NEW GAME BEGINS
I'll have to look into costs soon to see what that entails. I am hoping I can make the digital copy successful enough I can find a publisher for book form.

I copied the Amazon link and forwarded to a bunch of my Kindle wielding friends. I gave you a hearty recommendation, of course. Hope they buy it!
Matt is your new book going to include some of your real life paranormal encounters?
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
It's possible. A few probably for sure. It's got a lot more of my nightmares and night terrors and dreams than anything else.

Nope, not at all. It was much better than book 2, but still a bit of a struggle to read. And the conclusion wasn't very good. You're best just leaving it with only reading the first.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
I usually dont like to post my whole list over and over again, preferring to just edit the first post I made in the thread, but with completing my latest read I am up to 25!
This equals the number of books I read total in 2013 and 2014 COMBINED! And I have 3 and a half months to go! HUZZAH! Feels great to be reading (and listening) a lot more this year.
