Elevator Pitch
“Lauren Greene, her dog Sankō, and their young artificial intelligence friend have fled Detroit for the harsh wilderness of Flat City, Alaska. Struggling to survive in a tough economy, Lauren is forced to keep the AI hidden from ruthless pursuers willing to do anything to reclaim it. Haunted by loneliness and the sacrifices she’s made to protect those she left behind, Lauren faces a painful choice: open herself up to new connections and risk everything, or remain isolated and keep everyone safe — but remain alone.”Key Links

A BIG CHANGE
Eleven issues? Who would have ‘thunk’ it? Not me! When I was first brainstorming what would become WOLF’S HEAD, I had the first six issues roughly locked down. I had some loose ideas for what could come next, but these weren’t ‘firmed up’ plans. Of course, many of these did find their way into issues 7 through 10. That, however, was that. I had nothing written for what came after those loose plans.Scary? A little. Exciting? You bet! That’s one of the great joys in storytelling, regardless of the medium. Letting the story take you in different, unexpected, and weird directions. There is a great deal of fun to be had in that. Not to mention some nervous moments, too. I always feel like I’m juggling raw eggs; not only might they all tumble down on top of me at any moment, but I’ll have literal (ahem… if you’ll excuse the metaphor) egg on my face, too.
I’m very pleased to say, though, that I love how this issue turned out. The first ten issues were set in Detroit, Michigan and I tried very hard to root those issues in place. This issue? The story changes focus entirely to Alaska. And that means new situations, new challenges, and new characters. The reasons for the move, hinted at last issue, was something that Lauren decided to do deliberately. Will it work out for her? Time will tell. That’s fun, too! Join me, won’t you?
