Got to hand it to Amon Tobin and the designers of this video. This is the type of imagery and feeling that I tried to conjure up when writing for The Blue Diviners. I feel I had some successes, but I have more to work on with the craft.

Here is a spotify playlist I put together that pairs songs with each chapter. Though not perfect, I think the overall selection matches some of the tone of the chapters as well as the characters. Initially, I was naming each chapter after some 80s 90s British rock. But I was also inspired by Reso and his cinematic take on dubstep and drum and bass. I would certainly push for working with his music if this book were to become a movie or episodic show. Anyhow, give this playlist a listen. that_blue_diviner_playlist

This is a note of appreciation for Aaron Moore. He professionally copy edited The Blue Diviners. And I’m happy to say that I have taken all his edits and notes, conformed them to my manuscript and re-synced it to Amazon Kindle. So readers who already have the book will have a new experience, and new readers will see TBD for the first time in its best light yet.

Aaron’s attention to detail and suggestions for ellipses and colons, were an education to me as I’m still learning the craft and art of writing a novel. And he sent me a funny meme about the em dash.

Thank you Aaron!

I created a new book cover for the Kindle page. This cover brings Blink and Brin together thanks to the awesome illustrations by my son Leo Pickard. I’m so excited to share with readers a window into the world of The Blue Diviners as well as showcase Leo’s amazing artwork. Please check out the sale page for the eBook on Amazon and buy today!

New review from a Kindle reader

This book was great! I really enjoyed the story and the world-building. Such an imaginative adventure! I can’t wait for my 12-year-old son to read it, too. Andy’s first novel is quite an accomplishment!
