Get Ready For Rock And Shock!

Just when we thought our 'Secret Identity World Tour 2014' was winding down, another show so cool and awesome arrives that makes Brian and I say..."Yup. Got room for one more!"

On October 17th, 18th and 19th the city of Worcester, MA will come alive with scary stuff, incredible music and guests that represent everything we love about shows.

ROCK AND SHOCK 2014 is an event so big it takes two places in Worcester to house it; the DCU Center and the Palladium. Who will be there? How about Rowdy Roddy Piper, John Ratzenberger (Cliff Claven himsef), Jeffrey Combs, Dee Wallace, Tom Savini, Brad Dourif and many many more.

But once the day is over...then what? How about some incredible concerts featuring the legendary King Diamond, GWAR, and a bunch of other bands that put the shock into rock!

Matman Returns Home!

Today I make a return 
to my hometown of 
Broad Brook, CT. Here I 
will be doing a book 
signing at a real cool 
store called Book Club. 

Why this is cool...

Book Club is an incredible store full of great books at real good prices. And who doesn't need a cool book store?

Book Club is in the spot I bought most of my comic books as a young kid when it used to be the location of Pigeon's Pharmacy!

I have only been back to Broad Brook a few times since I left around 1988 and to be doing a book signing across from the pond I spent so many frozen hours playing hockey is kinda surreal!

So please come on out and say hi and if you feel so led to, buy a book! And it doesn't even have to be one of mine...

https://www.facebook.com/BookClubCT

Book Club is located at 
100 Main Street
Broad Brook, CT 06016

The event will be from 4 to 7 PM

Now The Fun Begins... Geronimo!

Last September this long journey for me first began! Following a Doctor Who panel at Boston Comic Con 2014 I felt the itch to write an easy to read (and understand) to the incredible world of Doctor Who!

I didn't realize how hard this would be... encapsulate over 50 years of ever changing continuity in a read that will make new 'Whovians' understand all the Doctor, what made them who they were and their relationship to all the other Doctors.

As I started to write, research and watch a lot of TV, the book began to flow a little bit. As i began to see how i wanted it to go I had an idea... have comic book artist friends of mine supply the art. As pictures began to come in, it became a motivator for me. The art is incredible.

With the project beginning to take shape, I started to get excited about this book. But as I got excited I began to get a little panicky! Would anyone want this? who will buy it?

Then came the doubt! "Who am I to write this?", "What makes me qualified?" and "I'm not even a writer!" But I persevered, write three hours a day for almost five months and well... here we are.

Last September I was telling everyone my target date to be finished and have copies of the book was June 16th, 2014 and here we are today... FIVE boxes of books arriving today.

WOW!!! Let the fun begin.

For information on book signings and how you can get a copy of the book, friend me on Facebook by going to https://www.facebook.com/matt.herring.355
