I Russian Bride (indie publication) came out in June 2011. The first five letters of the book were also featured in the online magazine bhag.net.[8] The work has additionally been expressed and expanded upon through two new media publication styles: on YouTube on April 1, 2010 via occasional video installments, and beginning in Summer 2010, through continuous Twitter updates (@IRussianBride) with new content to extend the story.[9][10] On YouTube the emails that comprise the book are read as voice-over to the creative visuals which together tell the story of Russian woman Ivana's love for an American man.[11]
