Ghost Assassin breaks the top 25

Ghost Assassin finished the month of January in 21st place on Drive Thru Comics (comics.drivethrustuff.com). While the Pauper didn't quite make the top 50, it did finish at a respectable #62, making both of the books top 100 downloaded books. In the coming months you will see more of our products offered electronically, hopefully they do just as well.

Apparel, mugs and more!

I have recently been working on getting both a cafepress and a Zazzle store up and running. I am doing my best to insure that the same products do not appear in both stores. Both stores offer many different products (cafepress offers journals where as Zazzle does not, Zazzle offers neck ties, etc....) so this should not be a problem. To visit our cafepress store, go to: www.cafepress.com/darkslinger To visit our Zazzle store, go to: http://www.zazzle.com/darkslinger*
