The time has finally come to share City Of Solitude!  Our first-ever mini novel aimed towards readers between the ages of 8 and 12!
Previous stories in the series were designed to attract early readers through the artistic talents of Ari Kunofsky and Nick Bonnano. This story does have pictures but more words to encourage young minds to imagine the journey to save Saurral Manor. The short chapters encourage readers to feel a sense of accomplishment while also enticing them to read more.
This story also will be the first in the series to make its way onto the shelves of major book retailers!
To celebrate the accomplishments of Matthew S. Palumbo, Nick Bonanno, and Ari Kunofsky, two versions of the book have been made! One is all the art that Ari did to bring this tale to life while the other is a special front and back cover made by Nick!
Both variants of the book are at great price points as they are sold at cost. This makes the tales of Lucky, Emino, Filbert, and all their friends easy to afford and share!
Follow the links below to order your own copy of the book. Look for the major retailers to start listing it sometime in late March to early April.

                    I tried to do something special for Yosh by getting an ISBN number registered, so he can sell it in more shops online like google and amazon and stuff like an official book! But to do that, they add like $5 to the price. So one version is easier to afford and as cheap as possible, and one shows up in more places.                
            
                    The price gap, I believe, is a result of how Nishi's cover has the ISBN with it.  Since it will be the one able to appear on other book store sites, I believe they charge more.  :(
Nishi's version is special as it has content from you, me, and Nishi in it. However the pure editon of the work is all your art and, as such, makes sense to make more affordable / accessible.
What's nice is, no matter the version, your art is what makes up the interior story images. :) Lots of win!

                    I wouldn't be so sure...  I've put out a couple of books, with help from Nishi and our other pals, and I've not really heard much back about their sales being anything worth mentioning.  Probably a majority of the books bought are actually by myself as I try to get them out there to a larger audience.
I still have your book safely stored away, too. I may not have been able to read it but owning it is worth its weight as it is a tangible memory of you, Leon. *Snugs*
All us writers have to keep encouraging each other to keep on trying. Eventually one of us will become a big deal and, when it happens, we can bring our pals along for the ride. :)
