And It All Makes Sense in the End
Blue, Adam

 

I’ve learned so much about the publishing industry over the past year.

At times, the business of art supercedes the making of art, and I’ve been in that space for a while. It feels great that I’m finally able to share what I’ve been doing, and that I can see time for creativity on the horizon, too!

 

And In All Makes Sense in the End is supported in part by a grant from the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts

My novel, AND IT ALL MAKES SENSE IN THE END, is supported in part by a grant from the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts

The artist entreprenurial grant empowers me to get this project to the widest possible audience, growing my business and allowing me to give more creativity back to the community. I’ve already commissioned a new cover, worked with a consultant to reformat the project’s presence on amazon for direct sales to readers in the US and abroad, and have even greater ambitions to scale into selling to institutional buyers.

More improvements coming soon!

My Inner Child Loved this Book

Aww, geee! I feel seen! Please allow me to share the following review of And It All Makes Sense in the End by @paulette.m.k on Instagram:

A unique, charming and intriguing fable as twins visiting their grandfather are transported into a magical world where logic and reality take a back seat to imagination.

 

It’s a hard book to describe, but it’s a melting pot of Roald Dahl, CS Lewis, Lewis Carroll, and Dr. Seuss via expressionist paintings and folklore. The events are presented in a unique way, with no chapters breaking the third party narration and you are compelled to get lost in its whimsy. The characters are likable and the story has absolutely no fat on it (the book can be read in a couple of hours) but it is the visual storytelling that really stands out, as a fantastical world is beautifully described and we meet a menagerie of wild characters. A book bursting with ideas. Does it make sense in the end? Well, I’ll leave that to you to decide.

 

Thank you to Adam Blue and Love Book Tours for allowing me to be part of this charming tour, my inner child loved this book.

A Wonderful, Whimsical, Wholesome Adventure

When an artist like me takes a risk and defies contemporary conventions, it’s an act of trust. Trust that somewhere out there, there’s a perfect stranger who’s brave enough to venture into that unknown territory with you, it’s so WOW! when the connection breaks through.

I’m delighted to share the following Instagram review by @readabookandlearnanewword. Enjoy!

 

📚Book Review📚 And It All Makes Sense In The End by Adam Blue

Thank you to @lovebookstours and @blueberryjams9000 for a #gifted copy of this book to read and review.

REVIEW
Teenage twins Mariah and Zooey visit their Grandpa in his weird and wonderful cabin in the woods. On a hike in amongst the trees they meet many talking animals including bespectacled Lutwidge, the talking rhino! With blueberry pancakes and maple syrup in abundance this is a wonderful, whimsical, wholesome adventure book where nonsense becomes the new normal and timeless morals are understood. This is a book for any age of reader who has a large heart, endless imagination and a huge sense of adventure. I loved it, it made me warm and made me smile.

The Rewarding Feeling of a Review that Gets It

Here’s a review from @ash_reads24 on Instagram. CLICK HERE to check out her TikTok. It’s fantastic!

 

On a personal note — before posting the review below — getting concise feedback from readers who intuitively understood what I hoped to craft is such a rewarding and profound feeling. I hoped for this project to be a short and compelling escape, an abundance of creativity and whimsy and then done. Our world is nuts. Our attention spans are stressed. Isn’t a moment enough? Anyway, I’m so happy this book is finally in the world and I’m able to share it with you!!

My tour stop for @lovebookstours And It All Makes Sense in the End by Adam Blue

MY REVIEW: Now this was a surprise read for me, the blurb didn’t give much away but the cover drew me in.

With a great character cast of Mariah, Zooey, Arshile, Dahl and Matta. It was a nice quick and easy read to follow which is rare for a fantasy book. A journey home & a whimsical rollercoaster in a short book what a genius the author is.

If you’re looking for a book that’s easy to follow where you can escape in and read in a short time then this is for you.

Well done to the author for creating such a unique book that’s easy to follow but hits that fantasy spot.

A Lovely Review to Share 🙂

This review from @gailforcereads gets it! Writing is such an extended act of solitude, it feels amazing when the work connects, like you can finally breathe out. Enjoy her writing — and the lovely photo of her cat (like Arshile).

This book was wonderful. I flew through it in 2 sittings & couldn’t get enough as I was always wondering what crazy thing was coming next!

The visuals that this book gave me were insane! 😍

The characters are larger than life, some literally 👀🤭 My fav was always going to be Arshile (for obvious reasons) 👀🐱 but Lutwidges little rhymes made me smile throughout!

Also, can we get a Kippenbergers Kanteen is real life because I’d be the first in line! if they can’t make it you don’t need it!

The social element around the CC & the magician was very well done & almost feels a little hidden at times but it does make you stop & think, especially during current times!

Overall it was a crazy whimsical journey & I’m not sure I have the words to explain it because it really was a wild ride! Even though it did all make sense in the end 👀

If you need a fun little escape (literally) then please pick this up!
