I'm just saying, "go get this book!"

Aside from the gorgeous cover, Matthew Salesses' I'm Not Saying, I'm Just Saying is a work of art in itself. Though new to the flash fiction genre, I have come to love the art of expressing emotion, conveying a story, and letting (forcing, actually) the reader to fill in the detail.

I have yet to meet Matthew in person (I'll have a sharpie and a copy of one of his works ready for him to sign when I do). We're connected through a variety of social media sites, namely Twitter. Through interaction, and upon the many recommendations from others, he's become one of my favorite writers.

I admire the brutal honesty and emotion he conveys in his work. He's currently writing an online novel, This Is Not About Adoption, which I am making sure to keep up on. His "working things out through writing" is something that I've done my entire life though, admittedly, not as beautifully written has he does it.
