Posted project update #12Foreshadows For Sale!
Dear Foreshadows Backers,
Tomorrow officially begins the pre-order for Foreshadows: The Ghosts of Zero!
But for you, the future is now. You’re one of our magnanimous backers, which means you can get a head-start. If you jump on over to veryusartists.com/store you can pre-order your copy right away. Tomorrow, we’ll be announcing pre-orders to the general public, so if you’re interested in purchasing a Limited Edition version of Foreshadows (one of the 100 copies autographed by all 29 authors/musicians that has some extra spit and polish), today would also be an excellent time to call first dibs on the limitation number of your choice!
The official release date of Foreshadows: The Ghosts of Zero is just over two months away (2/21/12)—and you helped us get it there. Your name has already been rolled into our Acknowledgements and queued up for the printers. And don’t think we’ve forgotten the various goodies we promised during our Kickstarter campaign. We’ll be in touch!
—The Foreshadows crew / VUA / BSB

Posted project update #10Autographs Aplenty!
Hello, Backers!
The last time you’d heard from us, we’d begun the overly ambitious project of sending all of the title/illustration pages that would be signed within the Foreshadows Limited Edition booksall over the world, to be dutifully signed and returned unscathed. All manner of unforeseeable obstacles tried to thwart our plans. The Canadian postal service even got in on the action, its workers going on strike just to serve us comeuppance for flying too close to the sun. Even we had doubts that this part of the project could be pulled off; there were just so many things that could go wrong.
However. Despite this—despite our hubris—we were victorious! And last week we finally got our hands on the last batch of these signed pages. Want proof? We have proof. Photographic, videographic, and even crayonographic proof!
See Foreshadowers being still.
See Foreshadowers in motion.
So yes, it’s official: the 100 Limited Edition copies of Foreshadows: The Ghosts of Zero will carry the signatures of every last author and musician who contributed to it. *high five*
And this brings us one big step closer to production. We're nearing the end now. So, a big thanks to all of our Foreshadowers who went to task and signed all these pages (especially to those whose multiple contributions meant multiple stacks of pages had to be signed!)
And a thanks to you, backers, for bearing with is while we reel this monstrous project in. Very soon we’ll have some nifty cover designs to show you. Stay tuned!-
