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!

Small update here. A flyer for The Blue Diviners. I’ve sold some books in the last three months and have learned how to place ads on Amazon to create impressions for the novel. Recently, I made an 11×17 inch flyer to post up around town. But where to hang it up? Here’s the flyer in question. This is version 3 of the flyer. I’m using Photoshop and working with the book cover as a background. I keep trying different copy, different placement of the QR code…

So far, I’ve tried posted it up at a Thundercloud Subs, The Musician’s Woodshed, and The Bee Cave Public Library and an Office Depot(where I printed out). Oh, I also put it up at our local corner store.

Looking for ideas on places that have community boards in Austin so I can post more. My next trip is to Planet K, Austin Books and The Drag at UT Austin.

What’s this? A plain-ish Jane-ish QR code that links to the Kindle Store page for The Blue Diviners.

I’m so excited to announce that I published my novel. I started this process back in 2017 with NaNoWriMo. Though I didn’t make it to the 50,000 words written in a month, I did continue writing. Once finished, I keyed my cursive writing into a Google Doc. After some feedback and editing help, I formatted my manuscript and clicked the publish button yesterday on KDP.

I look forward to connecting with readers and discovering more about what readers of young adult sci fi and fantasy are enjoying.

Challenging photograph to get. Overall I captured the moment. But I had to do some Photoshop editing to diminish a fence pole in the middle of the image that obscured the driver’s helmet. It’s always a trick finding good photo spots around the track when you have a general admission ticket. But I’m happy with the results.

Very much enjoying and appreciating this series. I may write about it after we finish watching it. I identify with Alex’s writing journey and the state of limbo that Alex and her daughter find themselves in. When you journey from one side of the shore to the other, you never know how deep the water may get.
