Nancy - good morning. My name is Matthew and I have been on Substack since October. My publication, Beyond the Bookshelf, explores how life and literature intersect. I also do an interview series with other readers/writers to hear their stories related to literature.

I just discovered your publication and am happy to be here. I am retiring from the Navy in June after 24 years. I will be writing full-time starting in the fall. I am currently going through the process of assessing my priorities and figuring out some time management stuff so that my writing floats to the top of the list.

I look forward to engaging with the community here and if anyone is interested in how life and literature intersect I would gladly welcome folks to my publication as well. Getting close to 1k subscribers!
