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.

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

Well-deserved tribute, we all thank you.
His trilogy should be required reading in high schools across this nation. Of course, we all know that won’t happen.
I’m waiting for some Patriotic Conservative with big buck$ (Glenn Beck?) to offer to produce his books into a series of movies! They just might wake America up as to what our future looks like.
Good luck, Matt, and thank you for all you’ve done for us. You too, marktwain!

I have given Matt’s books as gifts and they are very well received.
