Just got back from Colorado Springs Comic Con. I had an absolutely amazing time meeting so many fellow fantasy/sci-fi fans and fellow readers and cosplayers! This was my first time at CSCC and it was so wonderful bringing Rune of the Apprentice, The Last Amazon, and Shadow of the Moon to so many new friends and fellow fans!
Read MoreAlright TLA team, very exciting news! Mark Vierra, our printer, made an exclusive video for us of our foil press proofs in China! So exciting! Words truly cannot describe how David and I feel about this project--and all of you! As a writer, I am rarely speechless, but seeing this book come to life is powerful in ways I cannot describe!
Read MoreHUGE thank you to our printer Mark Vierra for shooting this video in China for us! We are so excited to see these epic plates in action! (Pics below) Stay tuned for more pictures of them in action! This book, itself, will be a work of art! We have been so fortunate to have our printer Mark Vierra be such an amazing artistic partner along the way! So exciting!
Read MoreDavid and I are putting the final touches on The Last Amazon's press proof files before we send them to Mark Vierra, our printer -- BUT I wanted to give a quick update with our steller POSTERS!
Read MoreWe have been BUSY BUSY BUSY here at Apotheosis Studios! David and I cannot express how excited we are to FINALLY be finishing up the final draft of The Last Amazon and send our proof files to Mark Vierra, our printer extraordinaire! SO FREAKING EXCITING! We submitted our cover art to Mark today and both David and I could not be more proud of how it came out! Here it is!
Read MoreDavid and I have been going back and forth both internally and with our awesome printer, Mark Vierra of onthemark.net and have near-final cover art to share! We have been working full time for over 7 months now and we are so excited to finally be able to see everything taking shape! Apparently, that feeling is contagious, because in addition to pre-orders on our website, we have recently had a folks want to upgrade their order from Standard to Special Edition, and if any other people are interested in upgrading just message us directly!
Read MoreHey all! David and I wanted to show you some of the art we have been working on the past few weeks. We have been fleshing out our new pages and wanted to give you a little window into our world. If you ever have any questions about this or anything else please feel free to post in the comments below or message us directly!
Read MoreOver the past two months as David Granjo and I (Jamison Stone) were finishing the final pages of TLA, we kept on having new ideas for really awesome art and story elements. Because of this, we constantly were asking ourselves, "Do we add these super cool new ideas to this book, or postpone them to book 2?" It was a really tough call, honestly. Every extra page costs us more money, especially with the super high-quality printing we are doing for The Last Amazon with "OnTheMark". And because we are using sewn signatures (head and tail bands, case bound) our pages come in bundles of 16 per section, so we can't just add only 1 page at a time!

We also have some other awesome news in the pre-order department! Our website is now up and ready to take orders! You can check it out at: www.TheLastAmazon.com or http://apotheosisstudios.com/store/
Read MoreHey folks! Super stoked to say that we are making great progress on The Last Amazon! We have completed a few more backer illustrations and thought you all might enjoy seeing a step by step guide on how David Granjo our Illustrator extraordinaire does it!
Read MoreDavid and I are starting 2018 with a big update and some very exciting news! We just finalized our book specs with our printer, Mark Verria, the CEO of “Onthemark”, and sent him our down payment which secured our order, making it "official!" Yay!
Now, you might be thinking, “Finalized? What do you mean, Jamison? I thought the book specs were done before you started this Kickstarter.” And yes, they were, BUT David and I decided that The Last Amazon is too good to not be better, so we, like any sci-fi lovers, got UPGRADES!
Read MoreSo, I'm sitting here listening to Ai Wo Koete (Transcending/Exceeding Love aka Suikoden III Opening Theme, because that is my life) and feeling so thankful to everyone who has allowed David Granjo and I make The Last Amazon! Words cannot express what is in our hearts, so we will endeavor to do our best to show you through our art! Although our feelings are ineffable, we wish to say one more time: THANK YOU!
Read Moreso pumped to announce that we cast the fabulous Cheryl @WhoaNerdAlert for our Code Name: REDD character! Cheryl is a rad So Cal Nerd, page model w/ Cosplay.Alliance, pro napper (so we have been told) and has one of the hottest dude's on Instagram @dylansta9. We have our eye on Dylan for a character, so stay tuned for that!
Read MoreThey say Kickstarter campaigns live and die via the success of their first or last week. Well, the time is neigh! We believe we can do it! But we need your help spreading the word! Please share, comment, and support us in any way you can! Let's do this!
Read MoreAfter being asked why he would actually destroy The Statue of Liberty, The president said, “If you take down one historical American monument, why not another? Would you prefer I take down Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln? Who draws that line? Do violent Antifa and Alt-Left protesters get to decide what gets taken down? Is this only their country? No! This is a nation of laws!” Riot Police and SWAT were quickly overwhelmed by protesters and counter protesters. After the first full 24 hours of rioting, the National Guard was called in to subdue the chaos with tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets, and electric tasers. This had little effect and only seemed to anger the crowds and intensify the conflict.
