That is sooooo awesome!!! Way to go Big Dog!!! :- )

Worlds of the Crystal Moon

I am sure Big Dog would say this is not his accomplishment. This is because the FANS are so loyal to the series is why the WCM has been invited to do something so great.

Evon Endres

This is wonderful news! Another huge event for Worlds of the Crystal Moon. Keep up the great work Phillip.

Worlds of the Crystal Moon

It takes many people to make this happen. Praise the people who work hard to create something for the people of Utah. Big Dog wants everyone to be lifted up, not himself. Lets all enjoy the success that we, the fans, have brought to the Worlds of the Crystal Moon.

Evon Endres

I stand corrected. Congratulations to everyone who has worked very hard along side Phillip. They deserve our praise as well. This is a major accomplishment. Phillip has an amazing group of loyal fans as well.

Laura Lopez

I completely agree, and I should pay compliments to all those who are behind the scenes making it all possible for us the fans. As well as to all the fans that have helped this be what it is now. I appologize!

Sandra Stevens

that is total awesomeness

 It was such a beautiful day on February 6th, to have a book signing. Phillip arrived at 11:55 am in a train of Chevy Avalanches provided by the Utah Chevy Avalanche club. (If you didn’t know, that is what Phillip drives.) He came in only after a massive train horn that one of the drivers had added to their Avalanche, blasted the crowd. It was fun to see the response of the people. The energized cheers from the most amazing crowd filled with Worlds of the Crystal Moon fans was awesome.

When all was said and done, the manager of Barnes and Noble said that over 400 fans came out in support of the series and all involved in the project to bring the Worlds of the Crystal Moon to the big screen. Phillip spoke of how the fans are the driving force and their desire to see the Worlds of the Crystal Moon series to appear on the big screen would eventually be realized. Phil explained that Chris Salisbury is writing the screenplays for the first two books. And along with this, Tim Salisbury and Rick Williamson are working to create the picture-storyboard for an initial trailer to assist in getting funding for the World of Grayham. The unveiling of the theme song for Worlds of the Crystal Moon by the creator/composer, Randin Graves, was phenomenal. The reaction of the fans was exactly what I imagined it would be.

Phillip has selflessly committed every penny from all sales of Crystal Moon t-shirts, hoodies, hats, posters, and even the theme song, will go toward the funding of the feature films. It is the desire of the team which Phillip has surrounded himself with to create jobs within this tough economy. Let’s all support this cause. Phillip says that it only takes 25,000 people to buy 2 items (only two items) from the Worlds of the Crystal Moon website. This would create the initial capital necessary to act as first money-in and jobs would be created. So let’s get behind this, and let’s make something special happen. Here is the link to buy your two items. http://secure.worldsofthecrystalmoon.com/


Please share this with all of your family and friends. Support a good cause and get something for doing it. You can also be a bigger driving force like one fan already was at the book signing. Lauree Lopez (from Colorado) wrote out a check for $2,000 dollars before she went back home. She made the trip specifically for the signing and donated her hard earned cash for the cause of helping Phillip’s team create jobs. To donate funds for this cause, you can call Phillip directly at (801) 503-5083 or, there will be a spot added to the Worlds of the Crystal Moon web-store for you to securely use a debit or credit card. Remember… 100% of the proceeds from the purchases of the items listed above and all donated funds will be used strictly for the purpose of funding the feature films. The Worlds of the Crystal Moon is not a non-profit organization, but it is an unselfish one. Let’s help them make jobs and a series of feature films.

 
Here are some of the photos taken during the book signing for Worlds of  the Crystal Moon.

Check out this book review! This review is from Colorado Country Life. This review was done during the beginning of the editing process of book one in the Worlds of the Crystal Moon series, Crystal Moon, World of Grayham, and I think it gives a really good perspective of the journey this book has taken.
