Matt Heart Tender Eyes 3: The Butcher - I am putting a lot of thought into this novel. It seems to be my most challenging one yet.

I get to build entire worlds from nothing. I give my characters a voice. A pulse. Breath. I shape their fears, their flaws, their darkness—and when I’m finally satisfied, I hand them to a narrator who brings them fully to life. Then I score the audiobook like a film, layering music beneath the emotion. That process? It means more to me than cutting a three-minute song in a studio ever did.

As an independent author and publisher, I answer to no one. No watered-down plots. No forced edits. No committee steering the ship. I control the pacing. The reveals. The silence between the lines. I decide what you see—and when you see it. But the best part?

I’m driving. They ride shotgun. And together, we take every twist and turn inside my mind.(less)

“Life is like a book—each day a page, each year a chapter, and before you can figure out the ending, it's over. Live life to the fullest. Don’t wait for opportunity to knock; be a carpenter, build your own door, and walk boldly through it.”
