My Debut as an Author By Matt Converse

After a year and a half of queries with my novel, novella, and several short stories, my life changed on January 9, 2015. You know the routine, you finally see the awaited email and you can tell even before clicking on it, it's a rejection because you can see the first few words. "Thanks so much, unfortunately..."

Instead, what I read made my heart stop. "We absolutely LOVED Behind the Velvet Curtain." I couldn't believe it!  I hurriedly clicked on it and the next line was offering me a contract with Comet Press, which was attached! I was over the moon.

It would be an Ebook only so I figured things would move fast but it appeared my novella was being fast tracked, the next thing I know the publication date is March 2nd! It was all happening so fast. The next thing I know it's available for preorder. In short, it's been a whirlwind and the best roller coaster ride of my life, and I don't want to get off.

San Francisco's hot new author Matt Converse makes his debut with his erotic horror novella Behind the Velvet Curtain. He draws inspiration from a wide spectrum of influences, from Alfred Hitchcock and Stephen King to Lady Gaga. He strives to bring diversity to the publishing world. His newest project is to find publication for his recently completed first full length horror novel, I'm the Last Face You'll Ever See.

Behind the Velvet Curtain, by Matt Converse

"Magic Mike and Fifty Shades of Grey meets Psycho!"

SEX SELLS...what it attracts, can be deadly.

"The scariest monster of all is man."

Matt Jaxx is a sexy stripper who develops a fast following, but one of them turns scary stalker. Along the way he way he meets Justin and it's lust at first sight, both doing things they'd only fantasized about. Right when he seems to have it all, his stalker reappears, revealing his twisted and deadly agenda. This villain defines the word "creeper".  It's a fast, fun, sexy, scary ride.

Publication date: March 2nd, by Comet Press, available for order now at Amazon. amazon.com/dp/B00TBPESD0

My next project: to publish my recently completed full length horror novel, I'm the Last Face You'll Ever See, a psychological horror thriller.  It will scare the hell out of you, which I hope to be doing a lot of in the future.
