This is certainly a different take on a very old legend. We’ve talked before about the author Greg Van Eekhout and his book Voyage of the Dogs. Well it seems he’s still in a canine mood with his new book, Fenris & Mott. “When Mott finds a puppy abandoned in a recycling bin, she’s ready to do everything she can to protect him. What she doesn’t realize, however, is that this is the legendary wolf Fenris, who’s prophesied to bring about the end of the world by eating the moon. Now Mott has found herself in charge of making sure the hungry pup—who’s busy munching on lampposts, cars, and water towers—doesn’t see all of California as an appetizer, while also hiding him from the Norse gods who are hot on his trail, determined to see the prophecy come true.” Typical canine hyjinks, of course. Find out more over at the publisher’s page.

ANTHRO has a new URL
Posted by Cubist on Sun 25 Sep 2005 - 18:17Quentin Long here, announcing that the furry webzine Anthro has a new "home on the net" -- anthrozine.com, or even www.anthrozine.com. Links and bookmarks which point to the old URL will continue to work until Anthro #2 goes live; at that time, the old URL will softly and suddenly vanish away. Please remember to update your bookmarks and site links before the old URL vanishes.
And while I'm talking about Anthro, I'd like to remind y'all that Anthro is always looking for new stories, art and artists, interviews, 'how to' articles, etc, in the furry vein...

Posted by Cubist on Tue 13 Sep 2005 - 13:10Quentin 'Cubist' Long here, making a public Call For New Material in behalf of his furry webzine, Anthro! I've been getting stories, even a poem or two, and I hope this continues -- but what about other kinds of furriness? Where are the fursuit patterns, the "how to draw X" tutorials, the articles on Great Moments In Furry History, the... Well, you get the idea, right? The basic idea is simple: If it's Furry, Anthro wants it! Send it to me, Quentin Long. If you're unsure, ask and I'll be happy to let you know if Anthro could use it!
