Away with our normal, ever-so-scintillating intros and straight to a challenge: Can you read Matthew Vollmer’s answer to Rebecca Foster’s first question without coming to a profound new realization about words and thought, seeing and feeling? Give it a shot.
Then read Rebecca’s review of Matthew’s All of Us Together in the End. Then buy the book.
We’re outta here.

Here’s what happens when your book goes viral
Last month my book After Tonight, Everything Will Be Different was the subject of a TikTok post that went viral.
I've been on the receiving end of that before when The DIY Guide to Fighting the Big Motherfuckin' Sad went viral on tumblr, but this has been different.
After Big Sad went viral, things got wild for a couple days. The first day I think I sold about 1,000 copies, maybe a little more. The next day was good too, but by the third day things began to slow down considerably. Big Sad still sells around 5,000 or 6,000 copies a year, but a lot of those are through shops and distributors like Ingram and AK Press and the orders placed with me are steady but not at all frantic. These days the fiction stuff does better and I'm glad about that.
This round of viral stuff with After Tonight has not slowed down in any substantial way. The first maybe four days were just absolutely bonkers. All the online shops and distributors sold out the first day then my own webstore was hit harder than I've ever imagined it possible.
The week it happened, the orders didn't stop coming in. Every minute or so a new one came in. My phone was buzzing out of my damn pocket with notifications.
Then it slowed down to, say, 50 orders a day. Still really good. Fifty a day is very, very nice.
But then something weird happened. It picked back up again.
Now it'll slow down a bit for half a day then suddenly a bunch of orders will just gush right in; often a whole batch of them from the same town (maybe a group of friends?). It goes in these weird peaks and valleys all day, but a month in it's still running strong.
A weird side effect is all the extra, unsolicited attention it's getting. There have been multiple requests to obtain TV and movie rights. That part I'm not super into because After Tonight would be a terrible movie or show. The next book, The Internet Newspaper, would make a good film I think, like in a Less Than Zero or Bight Lights, Big City way, but After Tonight? No.
My inbox is also full of messages from literary agents and entertainment lawyers. None of which I've answered. I will, I think. But for now I have to get my head straight.
So it's been strange and good. If you're someone who has ordered the book because of the post, thank you. What I want most in life (besides being around those I love) is for people to read my books. I'm extremely grateful. I can't stress that enough. It's some real dream-come-true shit. I'm sure it'll stop at some point, because everything does, but for now it feels pretty damn good.

So, an intriguing mystery. Just checked my international books sales for last month and apparently, not only do I have regular readers in Poland, Canada and Australia, but it would appear that I am becoming a cult phenomenon in France! I am really intrigued to know who all these global readers are. If you are one, please do say hello. Even better, why not post a selfie or yourself with one of my books and tag me in it? It would nice to put faces to statistics. ♥️ #author #indiepress #publishing #kdp #ingramspark #ingramsparkauthor (at Lancaster, Lancashire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpPhD74KEZJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In a madness-induced Manta mania, I inked and completed Manta issue 15 in something close to a week, in time to not only get individual zines of it printed, but also an A5 booklet containing the latest five issues - number 11 through to 15. All 30 of them sold out at PCAF!
I am looking into getting more #11-#15 booklets in time, but for now at least issue 15 as a zine is available to buy on my webstore, link in bio.

Playing Justicar is always a blast, and playing it on +1EXP was no exception! Being a bunch of sentient salamanders involved in a series of kidnappings was a treat, and I love how ridiculous our crime board ended up.
Go give it a watch! https://buff.ly/3FyLlFL
Justicar is available now on our shop!

It’s done! Hardcover on sale, paperback and ebook coming soon! No, I didn’t write it. That was my bff Jenny. I did, however, all the designing, editing, formatting and publishing. I’m so happy I could burst! So glad @littlebrowngirlshow trusted me with her baby. Can’t thank you enough for believing in me, even when I didn’t believe in myself. The first time is the hardest. Now I’m ready for the next one. Who’s with me?! . . . . . #indiepublishing #barnesandnoble #indiepress #bookdesign #bookcoverdesign #bookedit #writingsociety #bookworld #readingaddict #readingcommunity #nonfictionbooks #truestories #datinglife #datingonline #debutauthor #dominicanwriters #latinaauthor (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnVCqtBOhxE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
