The Black Library has a spanking-new site, and on it they have new pages for all of my Blood Bowl novels, including Blood Bowl, Dead Ball, and Death Match, which is due out this month. On the new Death Match page (and on each of the other pages), you can download the first chapter of the book for free. According …
Bodden Reviews Blood Bowl
My buddy Bill Bodden (who’s one of the buyers at ACD Distribution) posted a kind and funny review of Blood Bowl. He leads off: Matt is a friend of mine; in fact, I hate him for having already written this book at just about the same time I had the idea to pitch a Blood Bowl novel to Games Workshop …
Death Match Imminent
I got my first copy of Blood Bowl: Death Match in the mail today as part of the regular shipments I get from the kind and talented folks at the Black Library. The book officially hits stores in April, but it’s currently the top entry on the Black Library website and available for preorders. They’ve also posted a larger version …
Games Day Chicago Set
The Black Library has asked me to be a guest at this year’s Games Day Chicago again. I gladly accepted and will be there to flog signed copies of all three novels in the trilogy of Blood Bowl novels I’ve written for them. That’s on July 29, 2006. I hope to see you there.
Dead Ball Hits America
According to the listing on Amazon.com, Blood Bowl: Dead Ball hit store shelves in the United States on December 27. This is the second volume in my Blood Bowl trilogy. If you’re in the area, be sure to go out and grab your copy right away!
Blood Bowl a Bestseller!
My novel Blood Bowl squeaked on to this month’s bestsellers list for gaming-related fiction in Locus Magazine. It comes in at the final spot, behind three R.A. Salvatore Forgotten Realms novels and fellow Alliterate Jess Lebow’s Forgotten Realms novel Master of Chains. Another Alliterate, Troy Denning, made the media-related list with his latest Star Wars novel The Joiner King. That’s …
Writing & Reading (in Low Fashion)
I have the one of the greatest jobs around: creating games and books to entertain others. Still, it’s a job, and most of the time it’s serious work. Especially when I’m facing a hard deadline, it can seem like a gig in an office cubicle or driving pizzas somewhere would be easier, if not nearly as much fun. That’s how …
Dead Ball Rolling!
If you live in the UK, you can now pick up your copy of Dead Ball, the second in my trilogy of books based on Blood Bowl, the game of fantasy-based football from Games Workshop. In this installment, Dunk and the gang end up getting blown out of the Old World and set sail for the distant isle of Albion …
Death Match Away!
Last night at 2 a.m., I sent off the first draft of Death Match (formerly known as Sudden Death), the final book in my trilogy of novels based on the Blood Bowl board game. I had an absolute blast writing the book, and I got to pull off some amazing scenes that had set-ups running all the way back to …
Sudden Death Match
I just got word from the Black Library that we’ve had to retitle Sudden Death (the third in my Blood Bowl trilogy of novels) to Death Match. I don’t know the whole story yet, but apparently someone else is claiming that title in a way that involves attorneys. In the grand spirit of not wasting money on silly things, it’s …
