Update #3: New Brighton Archeological Society Volume 2 Flashback Sequence

Posted on August 27, 2011

This color sequence from the New Brighton Archeological Society book 2 recaps the events from book 1.  Retelling the events from a different angle and POV was a lot of fun because we got to revisit many moments we loved in the first book.

This first book established the world of the New Brighton Archeological Society and we took our time.  With book 2, now that we've set everything up, we're leaping into the action!   I threw down an artistic challenge to Matthew with the airship scene that's in the second book, and he's knocking it out of the park.  You'll see!

I'll be sure to post new teasers from book 2.  It's due out early 2012.  More to come!

Thank you!

Mark
