Currently Working On...

I'm still working on Varmints, but am taking a few days off until I get a new microphone for the PC (using Dragon NaturallySpeaking for some article transcription). I'm still trying to decide whether to include cougar-type reports... not cryptozoological, so am leaning against. Of course, some "black panther" accounts may be cougar-related (gray phase) but for the most part, those seem to indicate smaller felines (whether domestic or smaller wild cats).

Setting up some volumes for the early novels of G. K. Chesterton, don't know if I'll include short stories yet or not.

Will be meeting with a potential cryptozoology author later this week.

Mokele-Mbembe Book Update

I was hoping to receive Bill Gibbons' text for his upcoming Mokele-Mbembe book before today, as he's now in route with team for MonsterQuest to Cameroon. But, he had some last minute material he wanted to add, so it should be forwarded to me sometime after the 16th. Images (with art by Bill Rebsamen) will also be forthcoming. We may be doing this book in color; I'll have to look over the material to determine if that is the best direction.

The book will cover the history of expeditions for the cryptid, and review the current evidence. Bill said the present MonsterQuest expedition is unlikely to get anything new, as it is the wrong time of year, but he hopes to return in November. Assuming no difficulties, I'd like to have this book available by June.

Poe After Dark

Sent to the printer... Poe After Dark: 18 Tales of Mystery, Madness, and the Macabre.
