John Picacio

Love this. Thank you! 🙏🏽👊🏽

I’ll be Johnny’s conversation partner that night and we’ll be doing Q&A, but one answer I can give right now — I am NOT the cover artist on this book and that’s not my cover. 🙂 Just finished reading the ARC and it’s an incredible read. You’re gonna love it. 🔥🔥🔥 /2 cc: @sacurrent.bsky.social

Heeeeyyy! Thank you, Paul! Your post was how I first heard while GoHing at AggieCon. More later. Appreciate you! 🙌🏽

This weekend!

I’m Artist Guest of Honor at this weekend’s #AggieCon in #CollegeStation along with Author GoH @marthawells.com. Here’s where to find me. There will be Lotería. ✊🏽 And there will be a limited supply of signed copies of THE INVISIBLE PARADE at the @austinbooks.bsky.social booth!

Site's back up, #booksky! I would have shared earlier, but I wanted to make my own purchase first in case it went down. I'm not even sorry.

I just tried to phone in a book order to DreamHaven & spoke to Greg, he's swamped with orders (book people are THE BEST) but the website's still down. If you're local and web-savvy and available to work with them to address the shop's web woes, give them a call—they could use some help!

Thank you for sharing, @christl.bsky.social. The story isn’t just about Greg, but all of you who have reached out to him and DreamHaven Books. If you’ve been trying to order books from them, or you did order this weekend — watch this and feel good. ✊🏽

Watched the announcements live. Congratulations on a huge day, Cynthia. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

For sure! Love your work, Jill. ✊🏽

Good luck over there, John. Hope you all are able to get the DreamHaven website up and running again soon. All best to you, Greg and the staff. Stay well. 💪🏽

Today I’m helping out at my job from 20+ years ago, helping Greg & the DreamHaven crew ship books across the country to folks who inundated their webstore after seeing him on TV.

Website is still down, but later try DreamHavenbooks.com for all your sci-fi, horror, fantasy, film, & comics needs!

Heeeyyyy! Thank you, Claire! 🙌🏽

Thank you, Janny!

Heeeyyy!! Thank you, Preeti!

Thank you, Rae!

Thank you, Kat!

Appreciated, sir! 🙏🏽

Grateful! 🙌🏽 Sharing this with my co-author Leigh Bardugo. Congratulations to all of today’s @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social YMA Awards and my fellow #PuraBelpre Recipients! #Caldecott #ALA #YMA

Greg said that he knows the store’s site is temporarily down because of the volume of orders on Sunday. Said that employees will help him get it running again on Monday. He’s grateful for everyone’s patience.

Will do, Tony. Thank you for signalboosting on Greg’s behalf. Stay strong, Minneapolis.

Spoke to Greg Ketter, owner of DreamHaven Books, just now. He’s grateful for all the book orders & knows the store’s site is struggling w/ the demand. Employees coming Monday to reboot the site & pack orders. There are so many that it may take a few extra days so please be patient & keep fighting. ✊🏽

That’s what I’m hearing. I’m trying to reach out to Greg right now.

@windowseat.bsky.social Suggestions? 🤔

It’s a fantastic store. 🙌🏽

Oops. Let it reboot. And then come back and support him some more. :)

He deserves it. His team deserves it.
