We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on April 22, 2012.

Now in Audio

Update #32 · Apr 14, 2013 · 6 comments

Super quick note! A while back (as you may recall) we announced we'd signed a deal with Audible to have them produce audiobooks of the Dinocalypse Trilogy. 

And so it begins! You can get the audiobook of Dinocalypse Now from Audible... uh, now. http://www.audible.com/pd?asin=B00CA4PLQ2

The nature of the licensing deal (and our teensy tininess vs. Amazon's hugeness) means we have absolutely no input in the whole process, so while we'd love to give people samples, discounts, etc, we simply have no power to do so. We hope some of you enjoyed it enough in text that you're willing to pop on over, grab the audiobook, and review it once you've listened. We're excited to listen to it ourselves!

Thanks again for your support -- we couldn't have gotten this happening in the first place without ya. :)

Quick Note: Mars on the Horizon

Update #28 · Jan 17, 2013 · 26 comments

Dinocalypse Folks! Hello!

We're wrapping up the editing and proofing on Stephen Blackmoore's Khan of Mars, so we hope to get you the e-book soon enough -- possibly even in the next few weeks.

Would you prefer we send the PDF to our Dinocalypse backers a number of weeks before the other e-book formats? That's a possibility here -- we just won't have the ePub and Kindle formats done at the same time, and the hang time could be as much as a month. Let us know in the comments.

Meanwhile, over on our absolutely nutso RPG kickstarter for Fate Core, we just announced a new stretch goal for a young adult fiction novel following the teen adventures of Sally Slick! Check out the announcement and the amazing Sally Slick art here.

We don't want to leave you with just that, tho -- not when we can share some art with you! Below, have a look at Christian St. Pierre's pencils for the cover for Khan of Mars. It's gonna be great!

In addition, you'll get a second copy of Dinocalypse Now with a custom, "real" (fake) dinosaur-hide cover hand-crafted and rebound by Dan Cetorelli (work to commence at conclusion of the drive). And we'll ship you a limited edition hardcover of Beyond Dinocalypse when it becomes available.
