Random Updates, May 2023

Wow, it’s been a long time since, I’ve updated this blog. Part of that’s because it seems to be a lot easier to reach out to people via social media these days, and the other part is that I’ve been a wee bit overwhelmed with life and work. At this point, I’m just happy to see the website still works.

I just updated the front page of the website to show the three books I have coming out this year.

Quotes by Matt Forbeck  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Writing is an act of discovery in which you peel back the layers of the story as you write it down.”
Matt Forbeck

“Who the hell is Warren Ellis again?”
Hardison gaped at the man. “Only one of the greatest comics writers in the past twenty years. Might as well ask who Alan Moore is, or Frank Miller, or Mark Waid, or Brian Michael Bendis, or Marv Wolfman, or Geoff Johns.”

Eliot gave Hardison a blank look as they wove their way through the hall. Parker took the lead, toting a printed sign with her. Eliot and Hardison trailed in her wake. They made a point of striding right past Patronus’s booth. They didn’t turn to see if he noticed them.

“No one?” Hardison said. “Nothing? Not even Kurt Busiek? Neil Gaiman?”

“I have a life. I do things, active things. I date women.”
“Stan Lee?”

Eliot gave Hardison that one with a wag of his head. “Who hasn’t heard of Stan Lee?”

“All right,” Hardison said with satisfaction. “You had me worried there, man.”
Matt Forbeck, The Con Job

“He's not dead, Parker." He clenched his jaw so hard she could see the muscles working in it.

"Are you just saying that to make me feel better?"

"No, I'm saying it to make myself feel better.”
Matt Forbeck, The Con Job

Topics Mentioning This Author

“You could move.' ---"Dear Abby" responds to a reader who complained that a gay couple was moving in across the street and wanted to know what he could do to improve the quality of the neighborhood.”
Abigail Van Buren

“A group of adventurers is known as a "party," and not just because they like to celebrate their success together in the end. Your party should be as close to you as your family--assuming your family can cast spells, kill monsters, and bring you back from the edge of death.”
Matt Forbeck, Dungeonology
