Writer of all things mythology, watcher of all things NWSL. Talk to me about the NC Courage, Everton, or how much Perseus sucks. Mostly reposting from Threads because my brain can't handle so many choices (I'm @matt.king.writes there)
I haven't started looking yet. Just waiting on some explanation of rights before I do.
(but also it won't stop me from putting out books--FUCK IT WE RIDE)
So, some sad news: the publisher for Wraith shut its doors unexpectedly, which means the book now needs a new home.
As soon as I'm done being sad/mad/sad/probably-still-mad about it, I'll start looking for another outlet that can get it in your hands.

Our first game as season ticket holders! Can't WAIT.
TIL that my book is available for pre-order, soooooo...maybe you'd like such a thing?

I'm tired of living in the country of "She warned you" when we should be in the country of "Marked safe from Temu Coup"
3. What are Zoe's abilities like compared to the others? It's deceptive. On the surface, she doesn't seem super powerful but she's legit a threat level unto herself.
4. Any Greek myths involved?
Not this time. They'll be front and center in GORGON.
Some WRAITH info:
1. Do you need to read the other books first? Nope! It's a standalone, but you'll recognize some things if you've read Prism and Atalanta.
2. What's the genre? Sci-fi with a light dusting of horror.

I love this cover so much, I don't know what to do. Chaos is coming, yo. Wraith releases on 5/6/25.
I can't be the only person who has John Tesh's NBA theme stuck in my head this morning
Made a Threads post talking about Everton's draw with Liverpool and whooooo boy was that a mistake.

Um, hey. There's a contest to get an ARC of Wraith here:

"What he's doing might be unconstitutional, but is it really that bad?"
Thom Tillis is a coward whose vote can be bought at Dollar General prices. Glad to see the rest of the nation is finally getting a taste of how ridiculously awful he is.
So I'm doing this thing with the latest book where I stopped outlining 2/3rds of the way through so I could alter the ending based on any changes I made. Now that I'm one chapter away from this point, I'm putting out an APB on Past Matt.
I have a concept of a chapter
Round-up of the weekend ghost hunt at Bacon's Castle in Virginia:
Number of ghosts: 0
Number of times four different instruments registered activity at once: 1
Number of times the 'ghost bell' went off while we were there: like 700 ffs
Number of times I exclaimed "Fck it's cold": 8
Has anyone tried spraying Tr*mp with a water bottle to get him to stop?
I am so stupid excited for this season
Am I on Tome? Yes. Do I know what I'm doing there? No. Am I happy to have another outlet for social media? Also no. Does it have dark mode? Still no. What about yes? No.

The self-owning of these people. Way to let everyone know your religious beliefs are a facade, champ.
Winner winner!
I’m also looking forward to this convention. It’ll be the first time back in Seattle in a while, but…yeah.
Oh wait, someone guessed that. 6 then!
21!
Perfect 10s
Taking a break from my usual bullshit to tell you once again that the best thing you can do to fight back over the next 4 (🫠) years is to vote and get involved in local politics. We've already seen how local governments are providing a wall against mass deportation efforts. Flex your power.
I don't see what the problem is. It can count pills with all six fingers.
Putting together a mock itinerary to convince my wife that we should go to Zurich over Christmas because they have one of the best Christmas markets in the world.

I mean, editing.
