Fan Art!
Very touched that one of my fans in the UK, my old country, took the time to make this author/cover mash-up photo. Big thank you Mathew F.

ADVICE TO YOUNG WRITERS
This article was originally published on chris-kelso.com under the banner "Words from the Wise". Copyright Matthew Stokoe 2016. Novice writers all think they’re going to be picked up immediately by a major, by Harper Collins or Random House etc., and that they’re going to get a half-million-dollar advance and start doing TV interviews, maybe sell the film rights to Hollywood. It’s natural. Writing a novel is such a monumental achievement, the writing of it should be enough. Trouble is, it

COWS NOW AVAILABLE IN PAPERBACK !
Just in time for Halloween - a brand new paperback edition of COWS is now available through CreateSpace (and in a couple of days, through amazon.com too). And it's reasonably priced. There are used copies of previous editions currently on sale for up to $500. But guess what? This edition - with a brand new cover and author-preferred formatting - is fifteen bucks. Happy Halloween!

Suavagerie
Well, it's the 6 June in Sydney, and over in Paris that means it's the 5th. And that means the French edition of my novel Colony of Whores has hit the streets as Sauvagerie - its first publication by a proper publisher anywhere in the world. It's a somewhat strange feeling that something so momentous to a novelist should happen half a planet away and without, seemingly, causing even the slightest ripple on the dark pond of my daily life.

Cows paperback edition
Hi Chaps, making good progress on the paperback edition of Cows. A little more proofreading and formatting of the interior and some cover design and it'll be done. I know it's been dragging on, but it should be another month, two tops. Cheers, Matt.

Sauvagerie
Advance listing by Gallimard of the French translation of Colony of Whores - Sauvagerie - here.
Colony of Whores promo edition will be withdrawn on 20 April 2015.
So.... The edition of Colony of Whores (pictured) that has been available for the last couple of months will be withdrawn from sale on 20 April 2015. I made this edition avalable through CreateSpace only because so many people had asked me about it and had made it plain they realy, really wanted a copy. It was, in effect an advance reading copy. Even though I'd love to leave the CreateSpace edition up for late adopters, doing so for much longer will start to hurt the book's chances of finding a
