R.L. Mathewson’s Trick to handle scams :)

I posted this on my Facebook Page, but I thought I'd share my wonderful experience with a scam call:   So, I was sitting in the car waiting for my daughter to come home a while ago when the scam for 6.7% called (A company calling and trying to get information by promising really low rates). Since I had nothing better to do I decided to have some fun :) When I was prompted to press 1, I decided that it just might be fun. Now this is how the phone call went down: (Mind you, I used a sarcastic tone the entire… Read More

Almost done…..

The next Pyte book is almost done :) After I pass it off to two incredibly talented people :) I will be turning my attention back to the next NFH book… Read More

Testing this out :)

Just messed with my wordpress blog and blogger so I'm seeing if the two will work together :) So, you should probably just ignore this… Read More

Tall, Dark & Lonely……

Okay, so apparently I missed quite a few mistakes in Tall, Dark & Lonely, but fortunately for me, Maura, who has graciously volunteered to help edit my books, took another look at it and sent me a list of corrections to be made. They're done. The corrected versions will be available shortly :) I apologize for any inconvenience the mistakes caused anyone.   On a side note, Maura now has a editors credit in the book :)   Thank you again, Maura… Read More

It’s Pay it 4ward Friday :)

So, with the kids sick off and on the last couple of weeks I've been pretty limited on this, but that all changes today. I have a meeting early this morning with a philanthropist foundation to get some ideas on finding resources and ideas on how to go about raising money to aide those in need.  I have a few ideas running through my head already, but I'm waiting to see what they suggest. What are your ideas? What do you think is a noteworthy cause or need that doesn't get the attention that it deserves? If you were to… Read More

Let’s see……

The newest Pyte book is almost done :) It is not the book that belongs to the excerpt in the back of Without Regret, but the next book in the continuing story. The next Neighbor From Hell book is halfway done and is currently being checked over to make sure that it's worthy of the NFH title. Once i get feedback I will set back to work on it :) After reading most of the reviews for my books I thought I should say a few things: A Humble Heart is in no way meant to be funny so if you're looking for… Read More

Probably should mention….

The leads for the new Neighbor from Hell book are actually Connor O'Neil and Rory James. The name Shia wasn't working because of the name confusion so things were changed around. The name Connor is more fitting for this character anyway, trust me. The book is coming along rather nicely so I'm hoping to have it out soon.   FYI, the Bradfords just might make an appearance in this book… Read More

First Pay it 4ward Friday is here :)

It's Pay it 4ward Friday and I'm checking in :) I started small this week and kept it pretty simple, but hopefully the act was passed along. This week with Pay it 4ward Friday in mind I stopped or slowed down enough to allow a car that was waiting to pull onto the road do just that. I'm not sure if I'm alone in this, but waiting to pull onto a road can be pretty stressful, especially if you have a car behind you getting impatient and no one's willing to… Read More

Grammar, spelling and plots, oh my!

So, in case you've ever wonder if authors read the reviews for their books let me put your mind at ease, this one does. Although I do enjoy reading what you enjoyed, I pay more attention to the negative or rather critical comments. Not that I'm trying to encourage negative comments, I'm really not, but I do look for constructive criticism. For example, many people didn't appreciate the number of times I used Little grasshopper in Playing for Keeps and I'll admit that I just really enjoyed that, but I will be more careful in the future not to go… Read More

Confession is good for the soul

At least that's what I've heard. Since this is a new website I thought that the best way to kick this off would be with a little confession. So here it is:   Playing for Keeps: A Neighbor from Hell Novel almost wasn't published.   What happened was that I wrote the book, loved the book, but didn't think that anyone else would. I actually considered just keeping it for my own entertainment and building up the series for fun, but then I decided to take a chance. I never thought it would do so well. Thank you, everyone, for giving this book a… Read More
