Why do villains always go on some long and meandering story about some trivial experience?
I mean, just shoot me already.
Are villains our id , expressing our thought processes? In some ways, the villain of any story is our hero, a reflection or echo of our own past traumas.
And…I think this might be a good name for a band…Bad Guys Love Tangents.
Kim suggested selling locally. We thought a farmer’s market might work or going into a bookstore or a retail space. Then, I discovered a consignment program on Book People’s website. This was the perfect program for me. For $75, they’re able to carry 8 copies and place a few in the front on their “New & Noteworthy” table. I have launched my own sales promotional campaign which is mainly word of mouth, LinkedIn, Instagram… Not sure what the next step is. Posters? Book reviews for sure. Not sure how to get one though. Hmm…
Looking for ideas on who I can contact in the media to review or write a story on the book. I haven’t really opened up the topics in the book. I feel like there is a lot to talk about around loss and grief. I suppose I don’t want to give anything away, and people may not be picking up on what I think is there. Maybe I see it as deeper and heavier than it really is. I haven’t really heard what other people think of the book itself. But everyone love’s the artwork. Thanks to Leo Pickard.
So this me, the author, the mind of Blink, signing off. Bye.
So excited to share this illustration of Blink in his explorer gear. Six copies of the paperback sold so far! If you have read the book and are a Good Reads user, leave a review of the book here https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/209102522-the-blue-diviners
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.
