WELCOME TO THE CFZ BLOG NETWORK: COME AND JOIN THE FUN

Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.

The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

It is edited by CFZ Director Jon Downes, and subbed by the lovely Lizzy Bitakara'mire (formerly Clancy), scourge of improper syntax. The daily newsblog is edited by Corinna Downes, head administratrix of the CFZ, and the indexing is done by Lee Canty and Kathy Imbriani. There is regular news from the CFZ Mystery Cat study group, and regular fortean bird news from 'The Watcher of the Skies'. Regular bloggers include Dr Karl Shuker, Dale Drinnon, Richard Muirhead and Richard Freeman.The CFZ bloggo is updated daily, and there's nothing quite like it anywhere else. Come and join us...

JUST A FEW UPDATES

Corinna finally got home at about half past twelve last night, and walked through the front gate as me and Lizzy were just finishing proofing Glen Vaudrey's book. She is, it goes without saying, as pleased as punch with Shosh's exam results, and we sat up until gone three as she told me of her adventures.

She is still asleep, as is Graham who did the driving to and from Barnstaple while I finished.

A few days ago I wrote that things were beginning to come together and that I was not feeling as bogged-down by the backlog of work as I had been. Well, I am happy to announce that this trend is continuing. In the past few days we have finished OTT , processed and mailed out over a third of the new issue of Animals & Men and finished the second proof of Glen Vaudrey's new book. All things being equal I will get the design work finished over the next few days, and off to Glen for indexing and final twiddles by the first half of next week.

I would like to say at this point, how grateful I am to Lizzy Clancy (aka `Dizzy Miss Lizzy`; aka `Grammar Nazi`) for all the hard work she put in over the last week or so. I am very grateful, and one day she will get her reward in Devon.

Max is on his way over to spend a few days, and I am looking forward to seeing him. I have missed the little sod, while he has been gallivanting off around Britain in a beery, post A-level euphoria. Dave is coming over later, and the words `beer` and `curry` have been mentioned.

So, all in all, things could be a hell of a lot worse....
