writing

I am trying to find a way to finish my new story. I will keep you posted.
In the meantime, follow my progress at facebook.com/mattkratzauthor and my other facebook pages about my ebooks. Those will keep you posted too.

health

It seems like my health scare from last year appears to be over. I underwent chemotherapy treatments about this time last year for a germ based tumor in my chest, and the treatments seem to have worked.
I have to go back to MD Anderson every few months for checkups, and the scans and tests appear to be normal. I feel very grateful. The people there did a great job.

writing

My new story is coming along well-it is about a high school football coach getting strange phone calls. You can also follow my progress at facebook.com/mattkratzauthor or purchase my works at Smashwords.
I am also trying to think of new stories. I might have some ideas in mind.

zoo

We went to the Dallas Zoo last night for the Safari Nights concert and to see the animals we had adopted. It was fun. The concert was good, and the animals were terrific. We saw an okapi, tiger, tuatara, cheetahs, lionesses, otters, and other great animals.
If anyone ever gets the chance to do the Safari nights concert or the Dallas Zoo in general, I recommend it!

update

I'm trying to think of a new for my new manuscript. After that, I will need to contact my cover artist and post it on Smashwords.
I have had my eyes on concerts and other events. Work is going well.
Let me know if you have any suggestions of what to do. Thanks.

Update

I have just gone through a tough ordeal. I had a lapse while swimming at the UTD pool and was diagnosed with a germ-based tumor in my chest. We opted for in-patient treatment and were referred to MD Anderson in Houston. I had to undergo four 5-day chemo treatments with two week breaks in between. I will admit-it was rough. Frustration and cabin fever was what I had to deal with the most. They got rid of most of it, and I have to go back later to see if it is all gone.
Other than that, things are ok. I am still writing (almost done with a story), working, watching movies, and doing the UTD Pep Band. We saw Shania Twain in concert and a  lacrosse game (my first!) this year. I also cut my thumb pretty badly in an accident at work.
There is a lady I have been interacting with on campus that I might want to get to know better. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

more writing

I posted my latest manuscript on Smashwords. It's called "A Trio that will Take You Back" and contains some good stories. One involves mysterious texts and was inspired by something that happened to me, the second continues the Squirrelman saga and brings back someone's previously unseen ex, and the third I love:it involves a lady who gets a chance to live out her childhood fantasies, and it helps out her so-called real life. Wouldn't you love for that to happen to you?
I am also working on a new story.
