Welcome to my weblog on wordpress.com. I already have one on BlogSpot.com, where I discuss my experiences as a writer. This blog will exclusively provide a service to my fans. From time to time, I’ll post first chapters and excerpts. Please comment if you wish, though if you are abusive or just plain stupid you’ll find your post in the bit-bucket. Now, I’d like to introduce myself.
I am a returning writer who enjoys the act of creation. For years, I have yearned to create works, which would interest, inspire — and if necessary — haunt the reader. I have three small boys and live in the Pocono Mountains where every season is beautiful. My wife is an editor and illustrator of children’s books, and is artistically talented. I have recently finished a novel titled “Haley Cork and the Blue Door” – a haunting story of a girl who is rapidly stripped of her humanity by an ancient and powerful device.
I am working on a number of books, but fatigue brought about by chronic illness makes things very slow for me. I can write at most an hour a day if I am lucky, so if I don’t immediately respond to your emails, you’ll know why.
If you wish to contact me, do so through my publisher’s email address at Honesdale.Eagle@gmail.com
That’s all there is to it! I write because I have to, want to, and love to.

“I write because I have to, want to, and love to…”
Ah, Matthew, I like the way you prioritized that. Writing is a necessity for some of us…I wish I could say I “love” it but over the past quarter century, the calling (not a vocation) has cost me arthritic fingers, a bowed back, chronic pain in my shoulders and neck and more mental and aesthetic agony than I care to mention.
But…I can’t stop so there’s no use complaining, is there?
Best of luck to you and welcome to WordPress…
Hi M Andrew Sprong
Thanks for inviting me to your page. I too write books for kids, and luckily adults seem to be getting hooked too! How lucky can I be?
I look forward to hearing more from you and will look for your book in the stores -and I hope you look for my book “Champion by Miles Cobbett” too.
There are two new reader reviews on Barnes & Noble/ Champion by Miles Cobbett page -if you want to check those out as well.
All the best, and please stay in-touch,
Miles
I don’t know what a bit-bucket is. Is that bad? O.o
It’s an old school programmer term which means that data is lost. It is the digital equivalent of the trash can.
