Okay! Trent and Jason is now available in e-book! Thank you, Diamond, for your formatting and trouble-shooting work.
I hope that you enjoy Trent and Jason! It was fun stuff to write. I had a great time following the development of their relationship. What will they do for Valentine's Day? How will things go during a trip out of town? What happens when they reunite after a summer apart? Lots of fun, lots of sex, lots of good times.
It feels good to have another item crossed off my publishing to-do list. Now, you go read Trent and Jason, and I'll get back to work!

New fiction!
NEW FICTION! HOORAY!
Trent and Jason
If you've poked around my site, you already know Trent and Jason from their two short stories, "Incredible" and "Stupid Question." Jason is moody and irritable and antisocial, Trent's wholesome and athletic and popular, and now they're in love.
Aw, how sweet.
In their book, you'll get the two original short stories plus five NEW short stories with sex and romance and fancy things like character development, or something? I don't know, I was distracted by the sex.
It's up now at CreateSpace, and it'll be on Amazon in the next few days.
Diamond worked hard on the cover, so please take a moment to admire it before jumping in to read!
Thank you for your support! We're working on the cover for the ITL mystery now, so that should be out soon!

Guys in Cars
Hooray! Guys in Cars!
It's up on CreateSpace now and should be on Amazon in a few days.
Thanks to Diamond for the new covers for Guys in Cars, Guys in College, and Off the Record. I'll keep working on updating images and links.
Diamond's working on the cover for Trent and Jason now. (Yeah, we've ended up going with Trent and Jason as the title.) You know what that means? NEW FICTION FOR YOU! It's taken way too long to move my existing work to Amazon, but now we're getting into the new stuff, and that means HAPPINESS FOR EVERYONE.
Thank you for your patience! Trent and Jason will be here soon. And then the ITL mystery, I hope. And then A Suitor's Tale (fingers crossed). Hooray!

Publishing update
I still need to edit my site to upload the new book covers, update links, etc. For now, here's where stuff stands:
The first volume of The Purple Book is here.
Off the Record is here.
Guys in College is here.
Guys in Cars will be next as soon as we straighten out issues uploading the cover.
After that should be Trent and Jason, once we format it, figure out a title, and design the cover.
After that should be the ITL mystery.
Then (fingers crossed) should be A Suitor's Tale, the rest of The Purple Book, The Rainbow Book, The Gold Book, and the novel about dragons.
The cover for the ITL mystery will be tricky. If it were a murder mystery, it would be easier, because we could just splash some blood spatter across the cover and be finished with it. But it's not a murder mystery, because the Anorians are such cialexes that the atrocity of murder would be so upsetting it would sort of derail the whole plot. It's an "oh no this priceless artifact is missing WHATEVER SHALL WE DO" mystery, with romance and sex scenes and random humor thrown in for fun because that's how I roll.

More about dragons
Hooray and thanks to the folks looking forward to the stuff I talked about here.
From comments!
Mountie: Dragons? O_O You have a book on your hard drive Matthew called Dragons and you haven't told us about it. Please answer: Is it about REAL large reptilian like Dragons or the human kind, like oriental martial artist kind of Dragons? Or some other subject.
Real dragons! Big ol' fire-breathing beasts. I don't know if the book's title will actually be Dragons - - probably not - - but I don't have anything else to call it at the moment.
I thought of a title like Dragons: Sacred Trust, but I don't love it. So, so far, just Dragons.

Upcoming releases
New fiction for 2012! Here's some of what you'll see this year (if all goes according to plan):
The Rainbow Book: As we finish The Gold Book and move forward in ITL, it's time for Kudorin and Xio Voe's story to hit print!
Trent and Jason: A short story collection featuring our favorites from "Incredible" and "Stupid Question." So far, the title's Trent and Jason because I haven't bothered to come up with anything else. I'll either think of a better title or just publish it as Trent and Jason. Or Incredible, maybe.
ITL Mystery: Yes! A mystery story based within the world of "In This Land." So much fun to write. (No, the actual title's not ITL Mystery. And yes, the mystery will involve sex and romance! More details later/soon!)
Dragons: This novel may, someday, make it off of my hard drive. Will 2012 be the year? Fingers crossed!

Revisions
Back in 2007, I wrote a story. A novel? Let's just call it a novel.
I had a lot of fun with it. As I prepared it for publishing, Diamond and I found a few rough edges. So I made some changes and tried to edit the novel to polish it up a little.
It turned into of those situations where the more you try to fix it, the worse it gets. The revised version wasn't an improvement at all. So then I had two versions of the novel, and I wasn't happy with either one of them. I ended up just leaving them to rot on my hard drive while I tackled other projects.
From time to time, I read that novel and sigh. The parts that aren't complete crap are so much fun to read! It's full of sex and romance and mystery and passion and one of my favorite characters.
In 2008, I resigned myself to abandoning that novel entirely. Then I decided to rescue one of my favorite aspects of that story and use it to build another story altogether. Now I'm thinking about tackling it again. Maybe I can salvage the good stuff and create something better, now that some time has passed and I can view it from a fresh perspective.
I have about 80 million unfinished or tragically flawed stories littering my writing history. There are only a small few of them that I keep wanting to go back to. Some are slash stories I don't have time to finish, and a couple are wannabe novels that would be great if it weren't for some odd design hiccup. When real life and ITL give me some breathing room, it'd be nice to revisit those novels and hammer them into shape and see what I can do with them.

Upcoming fiction
I've been working behind the scenes on a lot of different bits of fiction. A short story collection, a mystery, the first volume of The Rainbow Book, etc. It's a lot of fun, and I look forward to showing you all of this new work.
Currently, I'm trying to prep some things for publication. The formatting and cover art and such are Diamond's field of expertise, so I'm putting together character sheets, blurbs, author's notes, that sort of stuff. It's fun to set everything in order. I hope that you all enjoy the new fiction when it finally makes its way into the world!
The short story collection should be the next thing to hit publication. Fingers crossed. I finished what I hope will be the last of the edits yesterday.
