Matt Cain

Have I got an offer for you! My best loved book THE SECRET LIFE OF ALBERT ENTWISTLE is in Amazon's August promotion and 99p on Kindle - and just over £6 in paperback. This book has moved and inspired so many readers and now I'm thrilled it’s going to be read by a whole lot more!

@bertsbooks Just started ‘The Madonna of Bolton’ by @MattCainWriter …love that his books are so embedded in the NW of England where I live…just finished ‘Kids, Wait Till You Hear This’ from Liza Minnelli…it’s quite a ride…highly recommended..

@ghostlytom @bertsbooks Thank you, Tom! I love this! X

@ghostlytom @bertsbooks Thank you, Tom! How lovely of you! X

I have struggled a little this year but this wonderfully hopeful novel by #MattCain has restored my belief in happy endings. #TheCastleOfStories is pure, uplifting romcom … it’s Gay Love, Actually @MattCainWriter

@CRees13261345 Thank you! I love this! And I’m proud to have restored your belief in happy endings! X

@GregvsMatt @Madonna I’ve got the 7”! X

40 years ago @madonna released Over And Over as the final single from her mega hit Like A Virgin exclusively in Italy on 7" and 12" single (with poster) These are 2 of my most wanted Madonna records! #Madonna #OverAndOver

@ghostlytom @bertsbooks Haha thank you! And absolutely not Giles! X

@bertsbooks I’m still reading ‘Wuthering Heights’…am I a bad person for not liking Heathcliff OR Cathy? And the death count is off the chart! Am confused at what saw Cathy off btw. Spite? Also reading ‘Becoming Ted’ by @MattCainWriter a good read FULL of likeable characters. Not Giles!

What's everyone reading this weekend?

We #TeamZay have already been offered some lovely lots but could do with some more #K9hour @SeniorStaffy auction

@vwcecil @SeniorStaffy Thank you, Jasmine! On both fronts! And best of luck with the auction! Xx

Look @MattCainWriter I’ve gifted 2 of your, brand new books to the auction for @SeniorStaffy (plus a magnet bookmark) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Don’t worry, I have read both books and these are on my book shelf 🥰

Friends met, protests were made, love was found and much fun was had by so many at #ManchesterPride. It even inspired the setting for my latest novel, ONE LOVE. I’m taking some comfort that on the page at least Manchester Pride will live on ❤️🏳️‍🌈🐝 2/2

I'm devastated to hear that #ManchesterPride has entered liquidation. I was proud to serve as an ambassador for what I thought was the best Pride in the world, a four-day festival that celebrated the long history of acceptance and the rich queer culture of my home city… 1/2

@HurwitzStephen Haha thank you! So would I! And I’m glad you like Gloria - she was my fave! X

@MattCainWriter I think I've read all your books now, including Nothing But Trouble, and Shot Through the Heart. Smashing and absolutely brilliant! I know you don't write that kind of book anymore but I'd like a book about Lola and Harvey and Gloria in the early days.

Negative reaction to the news recalls the homophobia that stopped early research into Aids treatments, writes @MattCainWriter. Read more: bit.ly/4nWQPiH

Matt Cain's BECOMING TED is a charming love story & engaging journey through one man's quest to find himself; an every person's story of coming to terms with the world around you and crafting a spot in which to accept yourself, and love the people in your life, warts and all.

@DamianSerbu Thank you! This has put a big smile on my face 😀

@MattCainWriter: "The gay scene saved my life. Don’t let it wither and die." With the closure of London’s iconic G-A-Y bar, Cain argues that the LGBTQ+ community is losing yet another vital safe space. Read more: bit.ly/4mTWJQe

@CarlowLibraries @Carlow_Co_Co @LibrariesIre Thank you! And to you too! X

@HurwitzStephen Hahah I’d forgotten about that! X

@MattCainWriter Hello. I'm reading Shot Through the Heart and almost laughed out loud when I read the words Phat Phuck. Brilliant!
