Ultrasylvania, Vol. 2 + Video!
Hi there!
As a reminder, the Kickstarter for Volume 2 of ULTRASYLVANIA comes to an end this Friday, February 15, at 9pm PST. If you're thinking about coming on board for this second adventure with Dracula, Frankenstein, and our Egyptian, then now's the time:

An added bonus? Art director/editor Jeremy Saliba and myself had the chance to speak at Google back on the first of the month as part of their Authors@Google series. The video just went up today. If you'd like to know more about how this book and series came to be - or if you'd just like to see us in motion - here you go....
Ultrasylvania, Volume 2!
Hi, folks!
Yes, the rumors are true: The second volume of ULTRASYLVANIA is finished and ready to go to press. If you enjoyed Volume One.... Well, the consensus amongst the creative team is that Volume Two is even better. That's no hyperbole, no sales pitch. Straight from the mouths of Jeremy, the artists involved, and yours truly.
So, if you're up for another journey to ULTRASYLVANIA, then click on through:

Ultrasylvania LIVES!
Dearest Wonderful People!
We are now shipping out the remaining copies of Ultrasylvania - the twenty copies with the Kickstarter Exclusive cover - to you fine folks.
Thanks to your collective support, Ultrasylvania not only made it to print, but also can now be purchased by anyone anywhere via Amazon and TFAW. In fact, if you're so inclined, please visit either - or both! - of those pages and write us a review. We'd really appreciate it.
This first venture into crowd-funding and Kickstarter has been a major learning experience for us. And we've learned A LOT. We'll be putting this empirical knowledge to use in our next campaign - more on that below - and we'd like to hear from you as well. What worked? What didn't? (Our choice of mailing envelopes was a miscalculation. We know this.) What rewards did you really like? What other types of rewards would you like to have seen?
Finally, as many have asked, there will be not only a second volume of Ultrasylvania, but also a fresh Kickstarter campaign to get it off the ground. If all goes as planned, we should launch that in early January - yes, that soon! - with a print edition ready to send to supporters in late March. When the time comes for that to get off the ground, we'll let you know.
One last heart-felt THANK YOU to you all for supporting, for backing, and for believing in this project and these artists. It's cliche but true - we couldn't have done it without YOU!
Cheers,
Brian
