To Kill a Dragon

Christina “Smudge” Hanson’s latest graphic novel!

ToKillADragon-GN-CoverHow does one assassinate the unkillable?

After a devastating attack by the assassin Veniamin on the King’s airship, a lone survivor wakes up confused and mute after falling into Nadine’s apple orchard. With the entire kingdom in an uproar, only this strange, quiet man holds any knowledge of what happened that day and where the Great Dragon 7th, the assassin’s real target, has disappeared to. Now both friend and foe want him, and the race is on to see who can find him first.

This is a 70-page full color graphic novel of the comic seen on ComiXology and SM-EW (and a few other places).

The Keeper’s Warrior

Fox Den’s inaugural book is now available!

TheKeepersWarrior-coverThe Long Road is long indeed.

But even the most traveled of rolling stones needs a respite. And that’s exactly what Warrior, a half-Elf sell-sword, finds when he stumbles into the seaside village of Echo Cove. It is there that he gains a renewed faith in his Goddess Euseeda, a quiet, deep-trusting friendship with the shrine’s Keeper, and a chance to rectify the worst, most devastating blunder that he has ever committed.

Christina “Smudge” Hanson’s latest book is a switch for those used to her graphic novels and comic short stories, but is illustrated, interior and exterior by her.

This is actually a collection of three short stories that combine to form one novella, and began life as her NaNoWriMo project last year.

Welcome!

Welcome to a brand-new publishing enterprise! Things are still a little disorganized here, but let me fill you in on the general picture:

Fox Den is a tiny-press publisher. Which is to say, it’s not even a small press. It is an actual business, but unless a miracle occurs, it is also a hobby; I’m not expecting to see any real amount of profit from this. But it is a publisher; it’s goal is not to serve as one man’s vanity press, but to publish a small number of different projects that I like through the magic of electronic publishing and print-on-demand services.

The idea for this company has gone through a number of iterations. The first was as a publisher of role-playing supplements; this could still happen if I can get myself writing.

The second was a electronic publisher of older public domain books (notably histories). There’s a number of publishers out there doing an absolutely horrible job of it right now, and surpassing their lack of editorial control is a low bar.

Right now, that last idea is on hold for a similar project: Fox Den will be re-publishing, with permission of the author, a four book series on the last year of the American Civil War by Donald S. Lowry, who is currently self-publishing a related series on the 1863 campaigns.

And Fox Den is currently getting ready to publish its first fantasy book, The Warrior’s Keeper, by Christina “Smudge” Hanson, the creator of Ebin & May and The Bureau of Mana Investigation. I expect to publish further prose stories from her in the future.
