Hi

My name is Matthew Drzymala and I am an indie author of short stories and novellas. I've been writing since 2012, having attended two creative writing courses and really enjoyed it. I've also started my own writing group locally, we meet once a month and it's really taken off, so I'm really proud of that :)

I'm looking for readers who enjoy a light read. I have a series of stories called The Bumpkinton Tales set in a fictional village full of odd characters (and some normal ones too!)

They're in the humour genre, I genre I find it difficult to find reads of. I'm a new writers, so I'm still finding my feet and I feel my storytelling is growing with every release. We all have to start somewhere :)

I have 4 books avilable, all very cheap on Amazon, so if you like a light, silly read I hope these stories are for you. You can find them on Amazon here:

I also have one short story called Brainstorm, this is a story about a clinical psychologist struggle to hold his life together. It's much darker than my other works and one I am very please I wrote. A lot of personal stuff went into it :) If this is more your thing, maybe you'll like to read that instead.

I won't plead for reviews, but if you do download and read them then I always love to get feedback.

I can be found on Facebook: facebook.com/mattdrzymalaauthor , Twitter: twitter.com/mattdauthor and my website: www.matthewdrzymala.com

Many thanks

Matthew

My new book The Bumpkinton Tales: Volume One is available to buy now in paperback (for the first time) and on Kindle. It is made up of 5 short stories and novellas called:

Last Christmas, Bittersweet, The Bachelor, The Family Jewels and Albert's Christmas.

If you enjoy light, humorous stories then this is for you. Here's the synopsis:

Welcome to Bumpkinton!

Come in, have a cup of tea and a scone, and lose yourself in five humorous tales from the village. Follow Father Whitworth O’Grady as he chokes on a penny, Albert Scatterhorn as he becomes the grubbiest Father Christmas ever, and Amelia Goose as she feuds with… well, anybody.

Plus a whole host of characters as they attend the village’s first Singles Night with a sex-crazed ladies’ man. Jump in and find out more for yourself…

I hope you enjoy it and if you enjoy it, I'd love a review.
