A Dating Question

Mattie — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 17:41:50 +0000

Since I’m pretty rusty on this dating game stuff, can someone tell me on which date it becomes acceptable to share those embarrassing bodily function noises? I think women will answer very differently from men. ~Mattie

The Cat is Out of the Bag

No, not Rubbish. I wouldn’t put Rubbish in a bag. But one of my biggest and best kept secrets is now exposed: my real first name. Yep, it’s Matterhorn. Can you blame me for trying to keep it under wraps? ~Mattie

Oh no…

It looks like my real first name is going to be revealed in FROZEN STIFF and now everyone will know. I can’t say I’m happy about it, but if anyone can guess what it is between now and August 15th, they might win one of several pretty cool prizes. Check it out at www.mattiewinston.com and in the meantime, I’m going to go find a big rock to hide under when the book comes out on August 30th.

Frozen Stiff

Seems fitting to get this cover preview for my next adventure now, as spring is trying to arrive here in Wisconsin and yet we have snow predicted for tomorrow. Sigh. Winter’s grip is a tenacious one in these parts.

Love the fact that Rubbish and Hoover made it onto the cover. Not wild about the fact that they seem to be contaminating my crime scene, however. That should make for some interesting hair analysis. I love those boots, too, though I’d probably never be able to find any that would fit me. I doubt they come in a size eleventy-billion.

Look for the book to come out around the end of August, when snow and cold will be nothing but a distant memory. ~Mattie

Frozen Stiff

The title of this post is both an apt description of my current surroundings and the title of the next book in the Mattie Winston series. It is single digit highs around here lately and the lows make your nostrils stick together if you breathe in hard enough. Too bad the book isn’t coming out now because it fits perfectly with the season. Instead it will be released in August and maybe it will offer a “cool” diversion for the end-of-summer heat. And speaking of diversions, stay tuned for news about a fun new contest coming up soon and an update on Mattie’s future. ~Annelise Ryan

Autumn mental meanderings

There is no shade of blue more gorgeous than bright October skies…unless you consider the color of Steve Hurley’s eyes. – Mattie

It’s Here!

Mattie — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 15:47:54 +0000

Scared Stiff is now out and should be in a bookstore near you. Here’s your chance to find out the answers to these questions: Who killed Shannon Tolliver and left her body amidst a Halloween display? How will my first official date go? Will Hurley and I get past first base? Why do I hate shrinks? Who will inherit the Heinrich’s millions? And will Hurley find out the story behind the nipple incident?

There’s a reason exercise and exorcist sound so similar…

Exercise doesn’t come easily to me. My pantyhose run faster and more easily than I do. ~Mattie

On Shape

Mattie — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 20:14:35 +0000

I’m not out of shape. Round was a shape last time I checked. ~Mattie

Middle Age Dating

Mattie — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 16:05:55 +0000

Weren’t the Middle Ages associated with torture?? Getting back into the dating game at my age is torture. These days my back goes out more than I do. ~Mattie
