SFRevu Loves Vegas Knights
Over at SFRevu.com, my friend Drew Bittner raves about Vegas Knights. In part, he writes: Matt Forbeck creates a fast-paced and deeply engaging story… Every hero is measured by his villains, and Forbeck has created some great villains here… [S]hows a flair for writing breathtaking action scenes… The story itself delivers rock solid entertainment with plenty of twists and turns to …
The Star Wars vs. Star Trek Contest
Today, in honor of Star Wars Day, I’m going to give away an autographed copy of Star Wars vs. Star Trek to one lucky reader. The contest is simple. All you have to do is give me what you think would be a fantastic match-up between things from the two universes. For instance, you could make it Han Solo vs. …
BNW Back in POD
This is old news, I think, but I forgot to mention it when it happened. My friends at DriveThruRPG.com recently started a print-on-demand (POD) program for certain books they’ve been selling as PDFs.

My Next Original Novel: Carpathia
This morning Angry Robot announced my next original novel: Carpathia. They astutely describe it as Titanic meets 30 Days of Night. Those familiar with lore about the Titanic know that the ship that hauled the survivors of that horrible disaster out of the icy waters of the North Atlantic was the Carpathia, another cruise ship crossing the Atlantic in the …
Conduit 2 Out Today
Today marks the release of the latest video game I worked on: Conduit 2 for the Wii. I could say “my” computer game, but it’s not the same as it is with books or even tabletop games. Teams of scores or even hundreds of professionals work on major video games at once, which means they’re never the property of a …
