December's here and the clock's ticking on Christmas shopping. Got you covered: THE ART OF MURDER IN BRUSSELS just dropped in large print. Perfect for the mystery lover on your list who squints at… dlvr.it/TPYxMY #MysteryBooks #ChristmasGifts #LargePrint #MurderMystery
I hate editing. By this stage I’m sick of the story, sick of every sentence—yet the final edits are what make it stronger. Painful work, but necessary. dlvr.it/TPVQP1 #MattBorne #EditingHell #AuthorLife #AmWriting #HardboiledWriter
When you write fantasy, the work doesn’t stop at words. You end up drawing maps too—mountains, borders, rivers, the bones of a world that didn’t exist until you sketched it into… dlvr.it/TPQYhS #MattBorne #TimeOfEeyr #FantasyWriting #Worldbuilding #ElvenSupremacy
A new week, a new battlefield. I’m deep into editing The Time of Eeyr—elves and humans locked in their ancient conflict, magic humming under every scene. But right now it’s not the… dlvr.it/TPK7qg #MattBorne #EeyrChronicles #FantasyWriting #AuthorLife #FinalEditing
Done. The new fantasy novel is complete—beginning to end, every battle, every betrayal, every whisper of magic on the page. The world of Eeyr has finally coughed up its story, and I’ve… dlvr.it/TPCClp #MattBorne #fantasyAuthor #pulpwriter #EeyrChronicles #FinalEdit
🥶 When the Trail Goes Cold 📖 Listen, I'm going to level with you. There's nothing quite like opening a manuscript you haven't touched in weeks and realising you're a stranger in your own story. The characters… dlvr.it/TPCCd1 #pulpwriter #author #hardboiled #fantasy
Grey skies, rain tapping on the windows — the kind of weather that makes a man reach for coffee and a good story. Finally found a moment to catch up on Slow Horses. Sharp writing, sharp… dlvr.it/TPCCN4 #MattBorne #SlowHorses #AuthorLife #MysteryWriter #RainyDayReads
Been wrestling with a chapter for days now. Two-thirds into the new fantasy, and the words have started fighting back. The story was gliding smooth—until it wasn’t. Every sentence feels… dlvr.it/TNpq9r #MattBorne #TimeOfEey #FantasyWriting #AuthorLife #WritingStruggles
The reviews for The Raven Takes Flight are finally coming in, and they are quite good 😊🙏 dlvr.it/TNgPqS #amazonreviews #author #writing #writinglife #pulpwriter
Lately, my mind’s been far from Lake Como. I’ve slipped deep into another world—Eeyr, the age of elven supremacy. It’s the same universe as The Wizard of Moorport, but darker, older, and… dlvr.it/TNg0y1 #MattBorne #EeyrChronicles #TheWizardOfMoorport #FantasyWriting
Blood Before Ink. This week, the words take a backseat. My daughter’s flying in, and when family crosses the alps to see you, you don’t sit holed up in your den talking to ghosts and chasing killers. You make coffee. You walk. You talk. You listen. The manuscript will wait.
It’s done. The Varenna mystery is finished—at least the first draft. My process? When I hit a paragraph that doesn’t sit right—I mark it. I don’t stop. I keep the flow alive and let the mess pile up behind me. The cleanup comes after. Now it’s time to wade into that mess.#author
Yesterday was all about reading, not writing. Sometimes you need to let someone else’s words stir the pot while your own simmer in the background. But today I’m back at the desk. The story’s still there, tapping its foot, waiting to be finished. Time to roll up my sleeves #Author
Today, I’m back at the desk. The Varenna mystery is calling, and I’m aiming to bring it home. Final chapters got to hit like the first ones did—maybe harder. Everything that came before leads here, and there’s no room to fake it. No loose ends. No soft landings. #Author
Yesterday, I rolled up my sleeves and rewrote that stubborn chapter from the ground up—no mercy, no hesitation. It finally started talking back, and by the time I’d shut the lights, the next chapter was on the page too. Some days the story fights you. Yesterday, I fought back.
Yesterday, I reeled in the last red herrings from the lake and let them loose on the pages—twisting, darting, pulling the story into place. Two chapters written, secrets revealed, and maybe, just maybe, the mystery's bones are all in the right places now. #Author #MysteryNovels
The rain hasn’t let up—just keeps falling like it’s got something to prove. The kind of weather that makes the lake look like polished stone and turns every street into a trail of questions. Today I’m back at it, digging deeper into the mysteries swirling around Lago di Como
The rain taps a rhythm on the cobblestones, a metronome for the mysteries unfolding in me. It's a grey Sunday, the kind that blurs the line between reality and fiction. As I sip my espresso, I think that the rain isn't just washing the streets—it's revealing the truths beneath.
