I do not own any stock in Matt's books, they stand on their own merit. I have not contacted Matt about this tribute, so any errors are my own.

You had me scared there for a minute. The way you started the tribute, along with the title, I thought he might be dead!!!

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt said those words just about 103 years ago to the day. I think it describes Matt.
We do owe him our thanks and appreciation.

You had me scared there for a minute. The way you started the tribute, along with the title, I thought he might be dead!!! I thought about that. Too often, we wait until someone has died to honor them. Matt deserves better.
Sorry if I scared you!

Got all four of Matt’s books and wasn’t disappointed in a single one of them.
