Matt Wallace's Blog

Recently (relatively speaking) I joined the likes of director Patrick Lussier and Friday the 13th creator Victor Miller in "vlurbing" J.C. Hutchins' reality-bending novel Personal Effects: Dark Art (dropping in less than two weeks).

When Hutch introduced the first of these sickhouse promo beauties, I thought it was a revolutionary concept/execution in book marketing. And when you add the company I'm in, I was honored to be asked to pimp on the small screen.

The 2009 Parsec Awards loom not-too-distantly, and if you don't believe me just take a listen to Scott Sigler and J.C. Hutchins' traditional Parsec Awards promo (in which I receive one of the greatest name drops of all time).

It's not every day you collaborate with a New York Times Best-Selling author. Even if it is Scott Sigler.

Just in time to shamelessly whore Sigler's limited (3,000 copy) release of THE ROOKIE in first edition hardcover, it's TITLE FIGHT by Scott Sigler and Matt Wallace. Set thousands of years in the future of THE ROOKIE, this exclusive podcast-only novella combines no-holds-barred MMA (mixed martial arts) with aliens, gangsters, and space drama. It's the story of two technologically souped-up fut

Unedited, uncensored, unadulterated, it's the latest promo for THE NEXT FIX by Matt Wallace for your Kindle reader and Kindle for your iPhone/iPod Touch featuring New York Times Best-Selling author of INFECTED and failed pimp, Scott Sigler.



This is why I created THE NEXT FIX; to cause all those uppity best-selling author fucks to O.D. and die a slow, convulsing death.

One down, hundreds upon hundreds to go.

As I posted a little while ago, my short story collection THE NEXT FIX has been ported to Amazon's Kindle reader (and is currently ranked #16,153 in their Kindle Store, up from #39,000 and some change a few hours ago and #way-the-fuck-in-the-hundred-thousands a few hours before that) and is also available for Kindle on your iPhone and your iPod Touches, etc..

Unconventional Uses for Bedpans #445: Catching your brain when it's blown out of your ass upon viewing the following.

Author and neo-visionary J.C. Hutchins has quite literally redefined the way novels are promoted in any and every visual medium with his new trailer for PERSONAL EFFECTS: DARK ART (pre-order now from Amazon -- available in bookstores everywhere June, 2009). And that is not hype. It's more like a sudden and divine moment of clarity that overcame me as I watched this for the first t

Where has my blog been for the last couple of weeks?

In 3-D, bitches.

That's right, I've gone direct-to-video, just like Treat Williams in the The Substitute sequels. Or Sasha Mitchell in the Kickboxer sequels. Or Daniel Bernhardt in the Bloodsport sequels (I won't lie, I had to iMDB that last one). The first episode of my weekly video address went live on KILL (the) FEED, the new Matt-Wallace.com-exclusive podcast/news feed, two weeks ago. The second episode is available now, and chocked full-o-p
