New Release | Broken Ice

Happy Tuesday!

I’m thrilled to announce the release of the first book in the Immortal Operative series I’ve written with J.R. Rain – Broken Ice!

Mina Barrett is the CIA’s best defense against The Dominion. She’s young, charming, intelligent, motivated… and she’s a vampire.

Twenty years ago, vampires revealed themselves to the world. Society hadn’t expected them to be real at all, much less a species entirely separate from humans. The government feared hostile foreign powers would also seek to exploit their psychic talents, and put out a call for recruitment.

After a childhood spent in isolation, Mina saw a chance for adventure and signed on the dotted line. Unlike The Dominion, she doesn’t feel humans are inferior creatures and works to stop others of her kind from enslaving them.

A deep cover asset discovers information that vampires want to keep out of human hands. The CIA sends Mina in to bring him—and his information—out alive. But the Dominion has their sights set on the secrets buried for centuries beneath a Siberian glacier… secrets that could reshape the world.

New Release | Harbinger

Greetings, all!

I’m thrilled to announce the release of the fifth book in the Division Zero series: Harbinger!


Lieutenant Kirsten Wren has encountered Harbingers before—shadowy entities that claim ghosts with dark souls—but they don’t usually follow her home.

At long last, life is somewhere approaching happy. Her adopted son has put his past behind him and she’s even finally trusted herself enough to start a romantic relationship. Best of all, no corporations or demonic creatures have tried to kill her in a whole month.

Dead gang members start turning up, victims of murders with ritualistic overtones. Division 1 files them away as low priority due to their policy of letting the street trash clean itself up. However, when additional killings occur with obvious supernatural causes, Kirsten officially takes jurisdiction.

In the midst of her investigation, a Harbinger attaches itself to her. The chilling ramifications of that become clear once she discovers the area’s most feared gang has developed a working relationship with the Abyss. If she doesn’t act fast, all of West City will become a hellscape.

Cover Reveal | Catalyst

Greetings, All!

I’m thrilled to share the cover for the upcoming third novel in the Winter Solstice series with J.R. Rain, Catalyst!

-Matt


Back home from Russia, Solstice Winters confronts a scarier problem than a lizard the size of a garbage truck: immortality.

She won’t exactly live forever, but ten thousand years isn’t much different. In the blink of an eye to her, everyone she loves will be gone. Being the only elf in the world is a lonely future, but at least she has her cat to talk to.

Good thing he talks back.

Solstice doesn’t have too long to mourn as someone thoughtfully sends a magical assassin to take her mind off the family she’ll eventually lose. She’s fairly certain the Ordo Sanguinem Aeternam didn’t summon it since they’re far too inept for elder magic. Before she can figure out where it came from, her friend Jade asks for help investigating a stolen mummy.

Upon discovering the mummy stole itself, she realizes New York is about to have a serious problem of the ancient kind if she doesn’t deal with it fast… and someone powerful still wants her dead.

Between an out-of-control mummy and a magical assassin, outliving her family is the least of Solstice’s worries.


 

Freebie Friday – August 2018

Greetings!

Couple of updates today, but I’ll start off with a freebie on #Kindle. Both of these anthologies are free for the next 5 days.

The Far Side of Promise is a multi-genre anthology of short stories that contains cyberpunk, thrillers, contemporary horror, space sci fi, and also a peek into the childhood of Kirsten Wren from the Division 0 series.

The Divergent Fates Anthology is a collaboration of multiple authors all exploring my Divergent Fates universe – everything from the Badlands to Japan.

Both are free until 9/4. Grab ’em here:


More updates

I’ve been extremely busy lately republishing my books independently. Many of my older titles have been edited and revised (mostly mechanical stuff, no significant changes to story or plot). The new edition of Caller 107 does have about 10k more words than the original (and I pared back on the cursing a tad).

Coming Soon:

The next two books in the Tales of Widowswood series are ready to go – except for covers. I will be releasing them as soon as covers exist.

Also, Angel Descended, the final book in The Awakened series is in the same boat – just waiting on a cover.

Ascendant Revolution, the third book in the Faded Skies series is also waiting for a cover.

And finally, Dead Man’s Number, the finale of the Roadhouse Chronicles is also done and ready, just waiting for a cover.

Paperbacks

I am going as fast as I can to release paperbacks of some of my books that have gone a long time without paper editions. The hold up is finalizing the wrap covers. Some of the ones that have been missing PBs for a while are now up.

Signed copies are available directly from me for $10 each (except for the fat books which cost a bit more to print) when paperbacks exist.

Next Projects

Now that the dust is starting to settle from the massive re-release project, I am cleaning up some editing work. The next new novel project I intend to work on is a collaboration with J.R. Rain for the third Winter Solstice novel. After that, I may return to the Temporal Armistice series for book three.

Happy reading!
