Welcome!

    Already I know something about you--you have very good taste! And we have something in common--we both love books. I also imagine that you, like I, enjoy the humor, and the heroism, found in everyday life.

If you are already a reader of my Valentine series, I'm so very glad--and delighted to let you know there's one more book on the way. Little Town, Great Big Life will be on the bookstore shelves in June. We're working on the site now to get more information up, so please check back. I'll be doing some giveaways.

If you have not yet read one of my books, you might enjoy sampling more of my writing at my blog--Pressing On--where I hang out and write about the writing life, my love of gardening, tea, and various ponderings on everyday life.

Here or at my blog, I look forward to hearing from you.

     Chin Up, Honey
"...a Bradburyesque vision with drugstore soda fountains, old-timey radio shows filling the airwaves and a cast of characters who wouldn't be out of place in Lake Wobegon. Matlock conjures a sweet spell accented by tart drama, as refreshing and delightful as a lemony sweet tea."

~Publishers Weekly


     "Longtime readers will enjoy revisiting Valentine and its many colorful characters, even as this novel stands on its own merits and thus can serve as an excellent introduction to Matlock’s work."
