I noticed an ad on the CNN website that was advertising the bookseller Moby the Great. They picked my book, A Count by Chance, to feature in their advertisement. The first novel that I published under my Duna Books label. Thanks Moby! That's really Great! #DunaBooks #MobytheGreat a.co/d/3AghN5J

I noticed this ad on CNN. Moby the Great is advertising my Duna Books translation, "A Count by Chance". They must like the cover I designed. Thanks #MobytheGreat!

I am tickled with the placement of The Art of Belonging Nowhere among Dostoevsky, Bulgakov, and Nabokov. That alone was worth it. bit.ly/TheArtofBelo... #TheArtofBelongingNowhere #debutnovel #immigrationstory

Andrea Hellman @andreahellmanart.bsky.social · Jun 29

I have repainted the cover. So now those of you who own the first printing have proof of being my first supporters. The Hungarian translation is coming in a few weeks. Fingers crossed. bit.ly/TheArtofBelo... #theartofbelongingnowhere #firstnovel #cultureshock #immigrationstory #displacement

Here are the review copies for local readers. Message me if you'd like to be a reviewer. bit.ly/TheArtofBelo...

Good morning! Here is a sweet snippet for you from #TheArtofBelongingNowhere. A scene with our protagonist Irina Zubova and her new friend Sam Mendoza on Pirates Cove Beach. bit.ly/TheArtofBelo... #newreleasebooks #immigrationstory

Andrea Hellman @andreahellmanart.bsky.social · Jun 20

The irony of the placement of her story would not be lost on the Soviet art curator Irina Zubova. Now if she could only get readers to engage with it. bit.ly/TheArtofBelo... #Savistsky #Sovieteducated #immigrantstory #newrelease #firstnovel #TheArtofBelongingNowhere

Andrea Hellman @andreahellmanart.bsky.social · Jun 20

Look at her now. Irina Zubova, posing between Dostoevsky and Bulgakov like she belongs there.
Six months ago she was face-down on a bathroom floor with a bottle. Now here she is on Amazon's virtual shelf, posing with the masters like some literary debutante.

Check out my first novel. I have written it for my friends. The Art of Belonging Nowhere a.co/d/dMm9nY2 #firstnovel #newrelease #ICE #immigrantexperience

Andrea Hellman @andreahellmanart.bsky.social · Jun 15

Been off here, buried in my first novel.
The book is called "The Art of Belonging Nowhere." It's about a 44-year-old Russian curator, recovery, friendship, and what it means to finally show up in your own life. Messy and honest in all the ways that matter.
Who wants to read it when it's ready?

I've learned just now that I won in the best children's book category at the 2024 London Book Festival for Saving Noah. I found it out by accident this morning. This was the second award for Noah after it was a runner up at the 2024 Los Angeles Book Festival. #kidlit a.co/d/3uBK94N
