Matthew Elmslie

I’m Matthew Elmslie. I live in Canada and I’m a writer. Thanks for looking at my website; you didn’t have to do that and I appreciate it.

Right now I’m working on my first novel. It’s called Ded & Sac and it’s about superheroes. I started this site to help spread the word about it and anything else I will write or have written.

Originally I wasn’t going to announce anything until I actually had something ready to show you. It’s easy to sound like a big shot and say that I’m writing a book; it’s a lot harder to actually write it and and publish it. So the idea of this website is not to make it seem like I’ve done something that I haven’t done.

It’s for two other reasons. First, there’s no harm in getting the word out as early as possible; once Ded & Sac is ready to go, I want it to have a good running start. Second, now that I’ve said in front of you that I’m writing it and am going to publish it, I pretty much have to do it. Don’t let me get away with slacking off!

It’s going to be a long process, obviously, and I don’t even know what all the steps are yet. Right now I’m planning on publishing it independently through Lulu or a similar service; the idea appeals to me in several ways.

That’s the long run. In the short run, I hope that this website provides some diversion for all of us; I plan on posting things frequently. Please feel free to keep track of what I’m up to through Facebook or Twitter or the RSS feed or all three if you’re of a mind to.
