                              ** BORN TO BE SOLD **

                REALLY COOL MERCHANDISE FROM THE EMPIRES UNIVERSE
You asked for it, and now it's available!  EMPIRES: The Ace of Spades collection
books are now available from Central Empire Productions.  /Book I/ contains
episodes 1-10, as they appeared in the pages of YARF.  Some art has been re-
touched by the creator, but the art style itself is unaltered.  /Book II/
contains episodes 11-20, with some re-touched art (not much).  Both books come
signed by the author/artist of EMPIRES, Chris Grant.
     Both books are copied in the manner as YARF -- that is, with the black
strip binding and cardstock covers.  If you are looking for the complete /Ace of
Spaces/ saga for your fan library, these are the books for you.  As the story
continues, more collection books will be made, but no time has been set for this
to begin.

     PRICES:
     Both books are priced at $10.00 apiece -- this meets my copy costs,
binding costs and postage to just about anywhere.  Buy both books at once and
pay $19.00 -- /save a buck/.  I know it is not a *big* savings, but you won't be
paying for postage twice.

                   EMPIRES T-SHIRTS:  /They Really Do Exist!/
     Still a very limited number of Barona and Morrigan T-shirts available.
Limited colours and sizes -- most common sizes and colours were sold directly at
conventions.  *However*: if sales of these T-shirts pick up, I will make more --
 with many different characters, vehicles, etc.  All T-shirts are $10.00.  Buy a
T-shirt with two collection books (listed above) and you pay only $8.00 for the
shirt!  /Save a couple of bucks!/ Let me know when you order if you would like
to see more EMPIRES T-shirts and what you'd like to see on them.   Right now I
have lots of Size Smalls, red shirts with Morrigan on them in Black.  Guess
what?  /Kids love 'em!/  Good presents for rowdy nieces and nephews or younger
siblings, and always good for some weird looks from their parents.  These ain't
no Ninja Turtles -- these girls have /blaster rifles!/  See back for list of
sizes and colours available.

     Make checks or money orders payable to Chris Grant, since Central Empire
Productions is not /yet/ a legal entity.  If I generate some capital here,
though, it /will/ be, and I can do much, much more with the EMPIRES universe.

     I look forward to hearing from you!

{two pix of "Barona" and "Morrigan" appear.  The Barona pic has the tank-warrior
vixen of the same name blasting away with a rifle.  The Morrigan pic has the
spotted feline (not sure of her race here...) standing with a smoking rifle.}

{Both cool, IMHO.  I've already sent off my check for the XL grey Barona T-
shirt, so you can mentally mark that one down to "2".}


     Treat yourself ... impress your friends ... confound your enemies, your
boss, your parole officer ... get one of these T-shirts and be seen wearing it -
- and make sure you're ready when they ask you: "Where did you get that cool T-
shirt?  Who the Hell's Morrigan?"  Well, gotta run.  G. Lucas returning my
call...

     Seriously, as you can see, I have a limited supply of each colour and style
.. order now or be out in the cold this winter with no shirt!  Brrr!
