"Though you may not be a fan of the fantasy genre, the fact that you are a human being makes this book a must-read.

It’s easy to get into and even if you put it down, it’s that much easier to pick back up. You won’t have to start over. I really enjoy the cast of characters involved in the story.

"“I’m enjoying the book series quite a lot so far. I’m a huge fantasy fan so already, the book is right up my alley.

If I wasn’t so busy, I honestly might have binged the whole series already.” – Christian Alexander Billingsley

There was SO much action in the storyline and interaction with all the characters! I really can’t wait for the next two books!” -Maureen Phinney

You will feel as though you are walking along with Mark Trogmyer, feeling the wonders and emotions as he does. Anthony has created both a world and characters that pull you in and make you care for them. He has given insight into how many of them could have been made to feel like the path they have chosen seemed like the right one, even if it is not. I laughed and cried with and for the inhabitants of the World of the Unknown. Their story has gripped me from the very first paragraph to the last. I cannot wait to delve deeper and see how this journey and our heroes progress! - Christina Astrid Ferrante

​

Hi Anthony, Me and my girlfriend both equally love your book. We honestly couldn't put it down.After the first few days we made it to Chapter 5 and honestly we couldn't wait to read more. My girlfriend, Ella, loved the thought of Whiskers, being a cat lover, and sad, as, well you know, but we love it! We stayed up last night finishing the first volume of your book, we both can't thank you enough for sending us your book and the joy we have experienced reading it together. As we are already fans of the hobbit and lord of the rings, books and films, this book was already an easy catch for us and caught our eyes almost immediately after reading a few chapters. We have always said that we should start reading more books, especially together, and now during the current conditions that we are faced with, your book helped to be a distraction to our lives and to what is going on in the world. We will without a doubt be reading your next volume very soon and can't wait to see what happens, what a cliffhanger... - Scotty Jockey and Ella from Wales, UK

​

"Fantastic Story, easy read and descriptive with great characters. A real page turner, always leaves you wanting to know what's going to happen next! If you are looking for escapism, read this book! Can't wait for the next one! 4/5 stars. - @read_with_cc (Instagram) from UK

Grey Matter Series Volume 1: The Story of Mark Trogmyer in the World of the Unknown

New Review: 5/5

Awesome Book! I loved the way it was written and could be easily read. The story was thought provoking, and unique, filled with action, mystery, and intrigue that left me hanging all the way to the end! Loved this book and recommend it to all lovers of the fantasy genre! My Favorite scene was when Mark Trogmyer was introduced into the World of the Unknown, it left a lasting impression that made me reflect on things in my own life! This book was a real joy to read the likes of which I haven't read in the long time, it was refreshing! Thank you so much for the opportunity to allowing me to read your book! - Jarvis Baxter, UK

​

"This was an enjoyable book filled with adventure and diversity and lessons. There was a lot of great wisdom that could be taken in between the lines of this story line with true development of the characters. I love the scene with Mark's reaction to the clans and the Hierarchy of the clans, it was appropriately intense! I would definitely recommend this book to my friends!" - Jasper Hopewell, Grey Matter Series Volume 1 The Story of Mark Trogmyer in the World of the Unknown Review 5/5.

​

"Another well told story that was full of unpredictable twists and turns that kept me guessing through the whole story. I found that this part of the series of Volume 2 was really researched and thought out. I also enjoyed the hidden wisdoms from certain characters in the story that had a deeper meaning and impact on me on my own life upon reflection. I thoroughly enjoyed being lost in the World of the Unknown for the second time and can't wait to start Volume 3 in Secrets of the World of the Unknown!" - John Beverly, Grey Matter Series Volume 2 Wrath of Nerogroben Review 5/5

​

 "I realize that many have not yet commented on the fourth installment as I would like to add in an opinion about this read. I found this storyline to be interesting as it relates to the main character and his position in this prophecy. The Main character learns so much along the way in this series and has been though so much. I have found that this book explains more about the main character and other characters in this series. I love the storyline with Eladius and do have some hopes for the direction of the series. I recommend that others take a look into this storyline and find this just as riveting as I have!" Jason Gray, Grey Matter Series Volume 4, Mark Trogmyer and the IFRD Review 4/5.

​

"This is a fantastic idea to be able to have an actually bound book to use as a writing journal. I have been using this for my own draft for my book that I am currently working on. It has helped me to envision me holding on to my own book as if it already was published! I will of course be typing it out when its completed from this notebook but in the meantime it has more than made up for its use by being able to motivate me to continue to write! Definitely Recommend this book for those who also wish to do journal entry writing!" Craig Farlough, Dreams Notebook Review, 4/5.

​

"It is not often in this genre that we have an interesting perspective of multiple layers of wisdom, themes, and various sometimes sensitive topics being discussed like in this series. As a whole, I found this story of Mark Trogmyer and the Grey Matter Series to be profound and I really do think that it is the next mainstream series that should be out there in the various bookstores around the world. I see that mine might not be the only one with this opinion per these other reviews. It is my hope that with the proper literary agent this book series could be quite successful as the author seems to have thought out the series well and everything has been organized. In this book in particular there is a particular topic that is discussed that hit home for me and I found myself in this certain particular predicament in my own life of doing what is right versus what is easy and not only that but also having to decide to follow a traditional precedent if you will or go with the changing of times and to be more accepting. It is true that while reading this series you may find yourself reflecting on your own life as I did and be able to put yourself in the characters shoes whilst feeling the grief, pain, or discomfort that they too must also be feeling. I seriously recommend that you take a sharp eye at this series and see if you too can see and feel what I have felt whilst reading this series. I am forever grateful to the author for this marvelous series!" Jordin Westford, Grey Matter Series Volume 5 The Story of Thomas Joshua McPherson Review 5/5
