Ending Soon!

My post office box is expiring in three weeks. SO, if you’d like me to sign your copy of my novel, The Arrow Catcher, and also receive a signed arrow catching photo, you need to send it to me soon.

I also offered to send a signed photo to anyone who purchases a Kindle version and posts a review on Amazon, as some of you already did. If you’d like one of these, let me know soon as well.

The address to send your books for signing is as follows:

Jim Mather
225 Crossroads Blvd, Box 426,

The Arrow Catcher Back in Print!

I made changes to my novel, The Arrow Catcher, in order to make it more appropriate for young adult readers. (For those who have read it, I softened the scene between Asim and Reiko.) While awaiting my changes and approval of the new proof copy, my publisher took the book out of print. I approved the proof this morning and The Arrow Catcher is again available on Amazon!

My great editor!

I have a great editor! I recently made changes to the novel, removing a violent scene that had been inserted when I was hoping to get the script accepted as an HBO pilot. (If you've read The Arrow Catcher, it's the scene between Reiko and Asim.) Even after adding more edgey scenes, I was told it was still too tame. After recently removing the scene from the novel, CreateSpace, my publisher, sent me the proof for the new version. It had some issues, some my fault (a word left out, a sentence not worded as well as I wanted) and some theirs (missing sentence breaks, etc). I changed the manuscript and at around 6 tonight, Saturday night, (after 9pm for her), I emailed my editor to ask if she could double-check my changes before I resubmitted them. Within an hour, she returned my changes with her thoughts and corrections. I was able to upload the new version to CreateSpace tonight so they can get the book back in print. (Apparently, you can't order the book until they make the changes and I approve them, again.) I'm very fortunate to have someone so sharp and dedicated.
