It’s been officially two weeks since The Quiet Game: Five Tales To Chill Your Bones became available on Amazon and Smashwords. In that amount of time, I’ve received a lot of encouragement and praise from friends and family. In fact, the number of copies sold has risen to nineteen paperbacks and eight e-books. I haven’t received any reviews yet, but I’m sure as more people read the book and get through it, they’ll write a review.
Oh, and I almost forgot to mention it, but I’ve signed my first autographs! They belonged to my parents and my dentist, but I’ve signed some copies of the book. It was an exhilarating feeling, and it made me happy to leave personal messages to the people who bought my book. After all, even though they were family and friends, it’s still amazing that I’m published now, and I wanted to share the joy with the people who are helping to make this into a success, whatever that is in the difficult world of self-publishing.
If you haven’t checked out The Quiet Game yet, then you can read a description of it on the Short Story Collections page, complete with links where you can get a copy (should you so desire to buy one). I promise you, it’s a chill of a good time.

Nice! Always good to have accolades and acolytes, isn’t it?
I guess so. I just want people to read and buy it at this point. Speaking of which, how are you coming along with it?
Ooh, haven’t even started. The reading pile is so high, it’s weighing down my iPad AND my nightstand. But I’ll rotate it to the top. Also… might I ask a favor…?
Depending on the favor, but yeah I should be able to oblige. What’s up?
Well, I was wondering if you could put a review of WD on amazon. Trying to get the ball rolling, seem to be stuck at 24 reviews and I think sales are slowing down because of it.
I figured it was something along those lines. I’ll do it when I get home.
Matt, I posted the review. Make sure to do the same when you finish TQG.
Oh yes, and I do owe you one for Reborn City as it is.
Well I look forward to November when RC comes out.
