San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) April 01, 2015 -- Griffin & Sabine: The Interactive Trilogy is the latest work by author Nick Bantock in collaboration with software development and creative content studio Bound Press in Santa Monica. The apps are based on the New York Times bestsellers, published by Chronicle Books, Griffin & Sabine, Sabine's Notebook, and The Golden Mean. This re-imagining of Nick Bantock’s first three books in the Griffin & Sabine series is in production and seeking crowdsourced funding on Kickstarter. LIVE LINK: http://kck.st/1wWo6zt

“Griffin & Sabine’s is a love story for the ages,” says Christine Carswell, Publisher of Chronicle Books and editor of The Pharos Gate.

In Spring 2016, Bantock and Chronicle Books will also release a new book in the Griffin & Sabine series, The Pharos Gate: Griffin & Sabine’s Lost Correspondence, completing the series in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Griffin and Sabine, first published in 1991.

“This brings the stories full circle,” notes Nick Bantock on how the projects coalesce. “With a successful Kickstarter, we can take the original stories to a new audience with an innovative, exciting form on tablets for iOS and Android. And with The Pharos Gate printed book we will provide a climax for how our lovers find their way in what has been a wondrous journey.”

“Griffin & Sabine’s is a love story for the ages,” says Christine Carswell, Publisher of Chronicle Books and editor of The Pharos Gate. “Few books continue to resonate twenty-five years after their publication. That the tale of Griffin & Sabine does is testament to Nick’s beguiling blend of word and image, mystery and romance. In whatever form Nick chooses to tell his story, surprise and delight is in store.”

Griffin & Sabine: The Interactive Trilogy adds whimsical artwork, a custom soundtrack, and handwritten correspondence to the original story in a digital form. This story details the life of Griffin Moss, a postcard designer living in London, and his correspondence with Sabine Strohem, a stamp illustrator living in the South Pacific. The new app versions will include a 3D environment and unique creative content not developed for any version of these stories.

The Kickstarter campaign continues until April 9, 2015 to raise production and marketing funds for the project due to ship to consumers in Summer 2015. The campaign has already garnered Kickstarter’s coveted ‘Staff Pick’ status.

Bound Press CCO, Scott Wolfe added, “When we decided to embark on this voyage with Nick, we were extremely excited. Not only do we get to continue to do what we love in developing these types of experiences, but we get to work with a creative mind that we truly admire. We’re going to bring the magic of handwritten form and artwork into a re-imagined experience that will offer new perspectives of this universally loved tale.”

The app trilogy will be an interactive experience that begins when readers arrive at Griffin Moss’ studio to find it empty. They must examine clues by exploring Griffin’s letters to determine what has happened to him. Three separate apps will be created for each volume, featuring whimsical animations, an original score and bonus content.

About Nick Bantock
Nick began writing at age 40 and has since published 26 books. Eleven of his works have appeared on best-seller lists, including three on the New York Times Top Ten list at once. The Griffin and Sabine story stayed on that list for more than two years and was later followed by a second trilogy. His works have been translated into 14 languages with more than 5 million sales worldwide.
