It’s finally here! UK2 is On Sale Now!

We are excited to announce that Uno Kudo is now available on amazon at a special introductory price of $19.99 (Reg retail price will be $23.52) 
When we published UK1, our amazingly supportive friends and family made the impossible happen and ordered so many copies of our first book it became the #6 Best Selling American Literature Collection. 
UK2 would not have been possible if not for that kind of unwavering support, and we would like to thank you. It’s been a long year, which made for a lot of long hours and a ton of work by people with already busy lives, hectic jobs and filled social calendars, and yet here we have this amazing and gorgeous book that we’re so proud of and excited to share with you. 
From the bottom of our collective hearts we thank you! Now buy a copy and tell us how much you love it.

Sneak Peak into UK2 with Florian Imgrund & Aaron Dietz

For your consideration, another sneak speak into Uno Kudo vol.2: Naked with author Aaron Dietz and photographer Florian Imgrund.

Florian’s photographs are not just visually stunning, but what sets them a part from other photographic works is that they aren’t like “normal” photographs. Florian explains: “The unique charm of analog photographs connected with the original handcraft of photography fascinates me. After I got my first analog camera in summer of 2010 I started shooting more and more. This growing portfolio is the result of my passion. All of these photographs are captured on film, self developed and without any computer manipulation. I hope you‘ll enjoy it”.

Florian’s work can be found all over the internet, but just for you we thought we’d give some direct links HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE. You may find his portfolio on his website HERE.

Aaron Dietz is an instructional designer and the author of Super, a novel from Emergency Press about commitment, crisis, paperwork, and heartbreak. Dietz’s super powers include a high metabolism and the ability to put things back where he got them. He’s also pretty good at math. Find out more HERE.

To purchase your own copy of Super, you may click HERE
