So, About These Books Then...

So far there's only book in the Fenriswulf catalogue - and that's Chaz's 'Maranatha'. But then the venture is only a few weeks old so far.

'Maranatha', Chaz's first full-length piece of commercial literature, was begun on New Year's Day 2006. The first draft was completed by April, and after failing to set the publishing houses of the UK alight with his manuscripts, he sought the advice of the editorial agency, the Writer's Workshop. They were very helpful and supportive, but after finding the rising cost of fees prohibitive, Chaz decided to try again with his revamped, remodelled text. No literary agencies wanted to know, and by 2008 it had all seemed like a big fat waste of time.

But ever resourceful, and with a history of self-published comics already behind him, it was no great hardship to apply that mentality to his full-length prose. After all, some very famous writers of the past had published their own material. The time had never seemed more right, with the 'do it yourself' ethic of the Internet now in full swing. And so with a little help from www.lulu.com, 'Maranatha' was printed, bound, ISBN'd and on its way to being a bona fide publication - under the dark, wolfish banner of Fenriswulf Books...
