May 2022 Update
I hope you all are doing well. This update post discusses my plans for the month of May and what books I plan to release in the coming weeks.
First, I am trying to develop a new workflow system to be more productive. As part of that development process, I am going to be taking a hiatus from social media, except to make important announcements, such as about book releases. In addition, I won’t be responding to email for at least a few weeks. The only emails I will respond to are fan art submissions so that you will know I received your artwork. I hope to return to answering all emails in June.
One of the reasons I am trying to become more productive is that I am working on a big writing project right now. This project is something I think you will like, but I need to focus on it as well as on writing books for my ongoing series. I don't want to delay releases if I don't have to. I just need another free hour or two each day to make this all happen. To get there, I have to cut myself off from email and social media (including Goodreads) for a few weeks. I hope you understand.
Upcoming Releases
The ILLUSTRATED collection of Winston, Books 6-10 comes out May 10th. I’ve added over 120 illustrations, so even if you don’t want to re-read the books, you might want to flip through it to see the pictures. If you have Kindle Unlimited, you can read it for free. You can find the Kindle version of this book here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09R9DCJDQ/.
Surfer Villager 36 is coming May 16th. If you’d like to preorder it, you can do so here: http://mybook.to/SV36.
After that, my plan is to release Winston 17 (probably sometime in early- to mid-June) and then write the Surfer Villager series through to its conclusion.
By the way, I’m almost positive that when it’s completed, the Surfer Villager series will be over 1 Million words long! Crazy, right?
That’s it for this update. Have a great May!

Shadow Guardians + Face Reveal!!!
My first NON-Minecraft Book!
I am excited to announce that my first NON-Minecraft book is now available. The book is entitled Shadow Guardians: Seer. It is available in Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and paperback.
Goodreads Link:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
This book follows the adventures of a curious house cat named Arlo who notices a mysterious creature lurking outside his owner's bedroom window.
This book has some magic and fantasy elements as well as some peril. If you are a fan of the Surfer Villager series from book 15 forward, you will probably enjoy this book.
I am publishing this book under the pen name "Matthew Block" so there is no confusion about it being a Minecraft book.
(FYI: I don't recommend this book for children under 9 since there are a few scenes involving human and animal peril that might be too scary for them. These scenes are similar to what one would find in the Wings of Fire series.)
Amazon Link: http://mybook.to/SG1
FACE REVEAL
For those of you who have been asking for a Dr. Block face reveal, I've put a picture of myself at the end of the Shadow Guardians book in the "About the Author" section. Be sure to check it out. And, if you think I look weird, please don't say anything mean. :)
I hope you enjoy the book!
Dr. Block
P.S. -- Surfer Villager 36 is on-track for a mid-May publication date.

SURPRISE Book Drop!!!
I've been working on a collection of short stories for the last few months. Each time I completed one of my main books, I tried to write one short story about April Fools' Day and pranks. I ended up with six short stories which I've collected into a book that I just published.
The book is called The April Fool Axolotl and Other Stories . I hope you like it.
Here is the Goodreads link so you can add it to your shelves: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
Please note: This book is shorter than most of my books, so you should be able to read it rather quickly.
Bye for now.
