Pangaea II: The Rise of Dominjaron Kickstarter Campaign Launches

1 Comment

Pangaea 2 CoverCrazy 8 Press is following up on the success of its first Pangaea anthology with Pangaea II: The Rise of Dominjaron, which features an expanded and more diverse cast of writers.

A Kickstarter campaign was launched on January 24 and runs through February 25. Rewards for the $8000 goal run from prints of the cover by South American artist Caio Cacao to tuckerizations.

“This time we’re digging even deeper into the history of our fictional supercontinent,” said editor Michael Jan Friedman, “and we’re doing it with the help of four new writers–Ron Marz, Ilsa J. Bick, Kirsten Beyer, and Marie Lillian Vibbert. Ron will be a welcome name to pretty much anyone who reads comics, Ilsa’s a master of dark fantasy, Kirsten’s one of the top writers in the Star Trek book publishing program, and Marie is a rising star in the field of science fiction. I couldn’t be more pleased to let them loose among the civilizations we’ve established on Pangaea and see what kinds of stories they come up with.”

The anthology’s other writers are Michael A. Burstein, Peter David, Kevin Dilmore, Friedman himself, Robert Greenberger, Glenn Hauman, Paul Kupperberg, Kelly Meding, Aaron Rosenberg, Lawrence M. Schoen, and Geoffrey Thorne.

Pangaea II: The Rise of Dominjaron, like the first Pangaea anthology, explores a world in which all of humanity is confined to a single landmass, and has been so confined for all of its recorded history. There is no imperialism, no reliance on fossil fuels, and a surviving Neanderthal population.

“It’s even more of a shared world this time around, so pretty much every story is something of a crossover. I can’t think of any format that’s more fun for the reader,” said Friedman.

Should the project successfully fund, the new book will be released in September.

Sir Apropos of Nothing Cover Unveiled

Leave a comment

Sir Apropos coverOver at his blog, Peter David showed off Robin Riggs’ cover to the rerelease of Sir Apropos of Nothing, the first novel in his original fantasy series.

The trilogy of novels — Sir Apropos of Nothing, Woad to Wuin, Tongue Lashing — were originally released as hardcovers from Pocket Books but have long since fallen out of print.

The series and character was popular enough for IDW to release a miniseries by David and Riggs.

Now, David retains all the rights and is embarking on not only releasing new print and digital editions of these stories, but is working on the fourth volume, Pyramid Schemes, due out sometime in 2016.

Peter, and the rest of the Crazy 8 Press team, will be discussing the future at Farpoint in February.
