For the Coloradans:
In the few days I've been at home this month, I've been rampaging around to comic-book shops in the surrounding area, with Across Thin Ice copies in hand. I'm happy to say, everyone who saw it was very enthusiastic about the book! Several comic book places will be ordering from Diamond (and have books hopefully in October,) but a some places picked up some copies on the spot. So if you're in Colorado, want to get yourself a copy of ATI, and would like to support some super friendly local businesses, check out:
- Kilgore Books, Located 624 E 13th Avenue, Denver CO 80203 (signed copies)
- Calico Books, Located at 300 Nickel Street, Broomfield, CO 8002 (signed copies)
- I Want More Comics! Located at 1020 W 104th Ave, Northglenn, CO 80234
- Time Warp, at 3105 28th Street, Boulder CO! (signed copies)
I plan on hitting a few more places along the road south tomorrow, namely the 'Springs, and I may stop in Santa Fe and Albuquerque. If you know of any good places to hit up, let me know! I'll try to post an updated list if any more places want to pick up copies on the spot. :]
For the Canadians:
Half of me has the utmost pleasure of being a GoH of Camp Feral next week! I'll be running a couple of workshops there during the day, and drinking by night (maybe by day, too.) With me, I will have a small assortment of prints, Nordguard patches, stickers, about a bajllion original sketches (been spending most of my time sketching, as it were,) and some Across Thin Ice copies in tow. There are good times ahead!
(In the Feral raffle, I'll be donating a copy of Across Thin Ice that I have lovingly defiled with a Nickel. ;] )
For Everybody:
If you want to see Nordguard: Across Thin Ice in your local stores, it's not too late!
If you haven't already, you've got between now and September 1st to ask your local comic purveyor to order it through Diamond. Let 'em know it's a Diamond Staff Pick, it's #318, and it's full of awesome! There's more information over here about what to do if you want to help!
(And of course, you can also just order a copy of the comic right now from Sofawolf Press!)
Once again, thanks for everyone's enthusiasm and support!
(Also, I am over on LiveStream painting for a little bit on some Nordguard related things. I'm putting together a cast page of sorts and a few other things for the site, so if you're interested in seeing a growly Geri, come check it out!)
Cheers,

Luck :D
The most important thing is just to be polite. If you don't have a copy, you can just tell them you're really interested in getting a copy, and want to buy local. If you've read Across Thin Ice, say you really enjoyed the book (which I hope you did!), show them your copy, and explain how you would like to see it on the shelves so your 500 closest friends can get copies. ;D
Welcome to Colorado, enjoy your stay
I'm in Grand Junction to stay,
If Blotch has time, he could visited Grand Junction, down town is really cool, but work comes first so I know he'll pass
Will these be for sale online permanently or are you pulling it from offline sales eventually.
If you have a comic book store near you, you can have them order copies! (You'll have to ask before Sept 1st so they can order it through Diamond Distributors, and then they will have it on their shelves in October.)
But if you prefer to order online, Sofawolf Press will have them for sale indefinitely. :]
I rarely have time to make it up into Denver.
I'll probably order it online, allows me to continue my hermit life where I do nothing but housewifey stuff when I'm not harassing injured wild birds. *nods*
Good to know it will stay online, I gotta budget it in.
The comic sounds so freaking good.
Oh and hey, are you going to be doing commissions up at Feral?
As to commissions at Feral... I might! I figured I'd play it by ear. :]
I plan on attending in a year or two, because it's like a two hour drive from my home. All I need is to hit 20, then I'm free, and you can expect me there!
I was reading over the camps schedule a little back, and I couldn't help but feel so sad that I missed you're guest appearance (Because you're artwork has inspired me in ways you could only begin to imagen). Is there any plans down the road of returning to Camp Feral as the Guest of honor?

Heroes and Dragons (though the shopping center sign still says Vacuums and Dragons) is here, and I'm sure they'll carry it. they're cool enough to carry Mouse Guard.
1710 Briargate Blvd
Colorado Springs, CO 80920
719-388-9524
there is also Ed's Cards and Comics, which has been around for a long time.
5857 Palmer Park Blvd., Colorado Springs, CO, 80915
And a new place I've never been to yet. Bargain comics.
19 E. Bijou St., Colorado Springs, CO, 80904.
if you make it to heroes and dragons, totally let me know, I'll go and pick up a copy. Will save me from having to order it online. :)
There's also a few gaming stores nearby which might carry it.
Gamers Haven is just a few blocks down the road from Heroes and Dragons, across the street and behind the taco bell. A little further down Academy from there is Castle Games, in the plaza at Flintridge and Academy.
One day I'll visit Feral, it's just a few provinces away, after all. You should come closer to the Canadian Rockies sometime ;D
Have a great time!
Also, wow, I never realized how local you were!
I would also recommend Black and Read! They would be a good place to go with Across Thin Ice and any further sequels
