My book just hit Amazon!
Wow.... this hit me like the proverbial ton of bricks. This is REALLY starting to become "real" for me. It's currently in Pre-order status, with a release date of October 1. Sorry - no MINIs (or cars of any sort) in this one, folks, but I'm still excited. First book and all that...

Here's the link:

http://www.amazon.com/Blood-Magic-Ba...6994847&sr=8-1

And here's the great cover art by Tim Lantz!

Wow... a StoopidGirl cover for Book 2... That WOULD be cool. Y'know, they ARE looking for a new cover artist I think - I love Tim's work, but I'm sure that he'll move on to other projects at some point...

Congratulations Matt. Can you provide us with a quick synopsis or plot-line?
Edit: Never mind, I followed your Amazon link to the description. Sounds interesting.

Hey, Matt! Glad to see your dream come true!! Very best wishes for a runaway best seller!

You need to get advance copies to bring to the Dragon so we can get first editions autographed by the author!
