I wrote this novel called 'The Matt Zander Journals'.

Took over five years. Lotsa cool times along the way, lotsa rage-inducing, computer-smashing times, too. Now everyone can read it and I can finally let Zander speak for himself ;)

It's on Amazon.com, or read Part 1 free - a complete, stand-alone, one-third of the story - here:

The Matt Zander Journals (Part 1) eBook

This all started several years ago, when I wrote a screenplay about a slacker dude who had a life-changing near-death experience. After I was done, I still had a tonne of ideas and storyline I wanted to explore and decided that I’d begin work on a kind of ‘novel adaptation’ of the script (I knew I had a lot more to say than just script direction and dialogue). So, with all these story ideas buzzing around in my head, I began writing but immediately found myself adding a more personal slant to the story—some of my own experiences, soapbox thoughts and observations. That’s when the original idea started morphing, and the story began to take on a life of its own—or rather, it began to take on a lot of my own life. As I travelled from Toronto, through The Colorado Rockies and Las Vegas, heading for L.A., I continued to write, letting a lot of my own experiences shape the story, as if I was playing the main character of the 'movie' in my head. When I finally stopped writing in L.A., I had a 400-something page novel that I wanted the world to know about.

The world would be a great start.
