...is how things have been Fenris-wise lately. Chaz has been (and still is) insanely busy with art commissions and other projects, but is currently working on an "Ashcan" project to promote the current, and forthcoming, Fenriswulf catalogue. In the comics industry an ashcan is a small, usually cheap or free sample issue designed to gather interest for a new series, and it seemed like a good idea to apply that concept to a "free sample" to be placed in bookstores. Based on the format of sample chapters of new novels given away free with Sunday newspapers, a sample of chapter from "Maranatha", a few short stories and comic strips from "A Surfeit of Mandrake" are already in place, with possible inclusion for the "Last Gas Pump" and "Sword of Lochglen" graphic novels.
The first and most obvious store for these would be the local Borders store, with others possibly to follow. But Fenris is still very much alive and gnashing...
