Hello Readers & Friends,
A BIG update. I Am Waltz has officially finished the developmental edit and is now with the copy editors at the publisher. The time is rapidly approaching now and books will be on there way sooner than later. The timeline provided by the publisher for this is a few months, so I hope everyone will get their books during the spring.
For those with signed paperbacks, the books will first be sent to me to sign, then the publisher will send them out to you all.
Thank you all again for your continued support and I hope you all love I Am Waltz when you get it.
Soon I will begin working on the sequel to this book and as promised all early adopters of I Am Waltz will be purvey to unique insight and tidbits/early drafts or the sequel.
-Love, Matt
Hello Readers,
Wanted to drop you a quick line as to the production progress of I Am Waltz. The manuscript will be in the hands of the copy editors within the next few weeks (depending on when they finish their current work).
I have been working furiously on the developmental edit since the funding was successful and am nearly complete.
Once the manuscript begins copy-editing we will be well on our way to getting those books in your hands or on your devices.
Again thank you all for your support. As promised, once the book is out, all those who have pre-ordered will have early access to drafts of book two and three.
In gratitude,
Matthew D. Dho
Quill Achieved....
Dear Friends,
Today we crossed the Quill Goal threshold at 3:00PM PDT with our 250th order of I Am Waltz being ordered.
so..... THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, TIME 1 MILLION MORE "THANK YOUS"....
With this the book will be published both in digital and print form. A very special thanks to each and everyone of you who pre-ordered, talked with friends and family and were supportive of the journey thus far.
We are still going strong and are at 255 orders now. We COULD still reach 750 orders in before September the 5th. That is the ultimate goal. 750 orders will mean full publication in book stores nationally. So we have won today and accomplished a ton but more can still be done.
If you’ve not ordered yet, please do. If you have, thank you again from the bottom of my heart. I truly appreciate each and every one of you so much.
I am now pouring into one last draft of the book to ensure the arc and structure are exactly as I want before I send the manuscript off to be edited.

Another exciting announcement: The Write Out Loud Syndicate has selected the book to be their August book of the month. I am excited and honored by their selection. The book focuses on being discriminated and outcasted by society. These themes I believe fit the mold of what so many members of the LGBTQ community endure throughout their lives.
Keep up all the good work and thank you all for your continued support. I wont let you down with this first book.
