Crystal Moon Fan Club

Today April 3rd  is the Huge event at the Orem Utah Barnes and Noble. Phillip Jones will be signing your books and posters. Come get a picture taken with some characters from the novel. Dark Sun studios will be there with a green screen so that they can put your family into a scene from the Worlds of the Crystal Moon novels.

This poster will be available to purchase at the Barnes and Noble Big event April 3rd.

HOW IS IT DIFFERENT YOU ASK? Not only will you meet the author, but you will meet the actors who will be auditioning for key roles when the casting for the Worlds of the Crystal Moon feature films takes place. You will meet other key people involved in bringing the Worlds of… the Crystal Moon to life.

Read below for details…

- Meet the owners of Sandman Studios, involved in the creation of projects like, Pushing Daisies, Race to Witch Mountain, The Game Plan, and Trauma. Many of the lead artists within Sandman have worked on projects such as Armageddon, Ants, Shrek, and so much more.

- Meet the composer of the Worlds of the Crystal Moon theme music, Randin Graves, who will unveil the Worlds of the Crystal Moon theme song into the Orem area for the first time. He will also be unveiling the second theme song which has never been played for anyone before. Those in attendance will be the first to hear this incredible song.

- Every person who attends will receive a FREE poster signed by Phillip Jones, the actors and all artists involved in the series.

- Meet Tina Thorup of Tina Thorup Casting. She will be taking names for extras in the feature films. She will also be taking applications from professional actors who want to become involved.

- Meet Christopher Salisbury, the writer of the screenplay for book one. This is the man who is working directly with the author and the Crystal Moon Fans to transform the books and get them ready for the Big Screen.

- Meet Tim Salisbury and Rick Williamson and other artists from Sandman Studios who will be creating the storyboard trailer and adding animation.

- Meet Kathleen Stone, Angela Woods, and Cindy Fletcher, the artists whose work is featured heavily throughout the first two books of the Worlds of the Crystal Moon series. Their illustrative talent is simply amazing.

- BIG FUN … YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE PICTURES WITH THE ACTORS WHO SHOW UP DRESSED AS THE PART THEY ARE AUDITIONING FOR. THIS WILL BE A HUGE EVENT! WE WILL HAVE A GREEN SCREEN ( Dark Sun Studios is responsible for this fun). You and your family will be put directly into the Worlds of the Crystal Moon as you pose with Elves, Centaurs, and other characters from the book. FUN FOR THE KIDS… Some of Utah’s best makeup artists will be attending the event. Your children can have their faces done for their pictures with the actors.

The last time we did this kind of event over 450 people came. We look forward to seeing you there. Come early.

 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.

Some amazing things are beginning to happen with Phillip Jones’ series, Worlds of the Crystal Moon. I spoke with him a while back and got some insight to where book three is going. At the time I spoke with Phil, he was working on chapter three. I told him I would keep what he told me to myself but what I can tell you is the few things we did talk about will take your breath away.  I look forward to being able to share that book with you when it is finished. 

If you’re reading this and you haven’t finished book two, Crystal Moon, Magic of Luvelles, you may want to stop reading here. This could be a spoiler for you.

I know that if we can assist Philip in getting the word out about his series it would free up time for him to write faster so we can find out what happens to Shalee while she is trapped in the Eye. I must say that I am a huge fan of Helga and after what happened to her at the end of book one, Crystal Moon, World of Grayham, I didn’t think we would see her again.

What is George thinking? That man is a piece of work. He has such a one track mind about getting his daughter back that he has allowed himself to become a puppet to Lasidious, God of Mischief. The interesting thing is every once in a while George Nailer seems to have a conscience. He might be getting a mind of his own as he sees how it is putting his family on Grayham and Luvelles in great danger.  As with his growing relationship with Payne, he has taken him in as a child of his own. Of course, it is after George has found his way to use him. And, what is to become of The Visionary’s prophecy given to Mary, Athena and Susanne? What is George Nailer going to do with Sam Goodrich and baby Sam?

On another note: With the new information that Phillip Jones just gave us with his revision of chapter one from Crystal Moon, World of Grayham, what does he mean by the following quote from that chapter?

“The red-eyed announcer appeared in a cloud of smoke beside Sam’s motionless figure. He leaned down and whispered in the fighter’s ear, “Shall we see how long it takes before your memory returns, old friend? Can you believe that the idiot doesn’t know I’m onto him? I’m far too clever, and have plans for us! You simply need to be reminded of who you really are. I have missed you. All will be revealed when the proper moment arrives.”

These are just a few of the thoughts that I have been having while waiting for book three to come out. What are your thoughts? I am very interested to know where you think things might be going.
