Fun short film about the hoops we go through to get into the film industry. What is a short film anyway? Well this certainly qualifies.

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!
