The Crimson Pact

I’m submitting a short story, entitled, “Contagion Research” to this anthology. As you can probably guess it’s in the Elementary of the Dead universe.

It’s about a nurse at the titular Contagion Research facility who gets pulled in to draw a demons blood. Yeah things don’t go so well.

Anyway The Crimson Pact is worth checking out. It’s an anthology about multiverse hopping demons who leave death and suffering in their wake. Yeah it’s pretty intense. Larry Corriea has one short story in both volume 1 and 2. So yeah its awesome.

Darn Those New Year Resolutions

Hello readers,

Happy new year!

Please enjoy my latest chapter in EotD. Please forgive me, I will not make excuses, but suffice it to say I plan on making a new year resolution about new content.

Anyway here it is.

Chapter 7

Still Breathing.

Yes I am still breathing.

That is all.

Wait what? You want more?

Okay, okay chapter 7 is being worked on.

What have I been doing… umm nothing, why do you ask?

Fine if you must know, copious amounts of work and… Skyrim.

I know I know… but it really is so AWESOME!

I do have good news though.

I’ve now made myself a deal, that I must write every night before putting on my armor and killing dragons.

Update

mattmayner — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 21:02:40 +0000

Yes I am still working on Elementary of the Dead.

Things have been crazy lately. Once they calm down a bit I should be doing regular updates again.

Just bear with me. You’ll have more zombie slaying mayhem soon.

Elementary of the dead: chapter 4

Hello gang,

Sorry about the delay with this next chapter of Elementary of the Dead. Things have been hectic around chateau Mayner. I had to scramble to get something ready for the next quarter of Writers of the Future. Which ended on September 30th.

If you are an aspiring genre fiction writer you need to do yourself a favor and submit work to the writers of the Future. Seriously a lot of established writers got their start from the contest.

Anyway without further ado I present the latest chapter of Elementary of the Dead: Chapter 4.

Things get a little bumpy.

Enjoy!

Writers of the Future Honerable Mention!

mattmayner — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 22:24:56 +0000

I am so stoked I can finally tell you guys about this. I submitted a SCI-FI story to Writers of the Future and received an honorable mention!

Honorable Mentions:
…
Matthew Mayner of Idaho
…

This is the coolest thing that has happened in my writing career so far.

I know this isn’t just a “thanks for submitting” award, because my first story that I submitted didn’t get one.

They’re going to send me a certificate in the mail and everything. Sweet!

I know it’s not the same as winning but if my story “Battlefield Pickup” was trash I know I wouldn’t have gotten an honorable mention.

So without further ado, here’s “Battlefield Pickup.”
