This is the final version of the cover for The Unbreakable BoyI appreciate and enjoy sharing every step of this crazy and amazing story... the one of my family as well as the story of the journey in seeing The Unbreakable Boy come to life. That has been a story in and of itself. So today I want to share with you all several excting things that started last week and occurring as we speak:

This is the cover of The Unbreakable Boy. I had planned on unveiling it slowly and over several weeks, but as you will see many things happened at once that made my plan obsolete.



When I started scribbling in my little 3x5 spiral notebooks many years ago I never realized what is now happening, writing a book or even having an award-winning  blog, let alone it being successful, would ever happen... I just never imagined all this developing and becoming reality.

For those of you that have followed Austintistic from the start and watched it evolve into what it is today... It is without a doubt been surreal if not unbelievable. Well, at least I can't believe it.

Now On Amazon For Pre-Order!I had to unveil the cover on this day because of the next thing I want to show you... And this is something we have been waiting on for weeks. You can now Pre-Order your copy of The Unbreakable Boy. It's been on the site for a little while now and the early numbers are quite surprising. Please head over and reserve your copy so it will be in your hands they day it is released. Amazon will have it to your door the day of publication- 11/14.



I know it seems like we have a good bit of time before TUB will be on the store shelves, but I now understand why six months in the literary world is a drop in the proverbial bucket.

I have a literary agent... one of the finest in NYC. Stephany is easy to work with and has made the entire experience such a joy.

I also have a partner... my writing guru, Miss Susy. She's the absolute bomb to work with. She has guided me in almost every step and decision. Many of you may have met her when she was in Red Oak last summer. I would not be at this juncture without her.



And only on January first did I say the fun was really going to start. Here we are almost four months later.



I have a publisher who I was first introduced to at Thomas Nelson when they came to me and I chose them as the folks I wanted to help me bring my story to life. I now have two editors. I have a publicist and a marketing director and an entire team of literary professionals I may probably never know... People that their job is to make my work as good as it can be.



Over the coming months the whole process takes on a new complexion when PR and marketing get more and more involved. It really quite fascinating.



I have two more awesome things to lay out for you. I recently was approached by a very popular online health website- www.EveryDayHealth.com They wanted a good story to run in honor of this month, Autism Awareness Month.


The story went up last night.
