I promised you all that 2015 would be a year of big changes, and so it has been. And the latest is mostly due to the hard work of Dr Andrew May who pointed out to me about a month ago that there wasn't actually a proper CFZ Publishing website, which considering we have over 130 titles in various formats was absolutely ridiculous.
Not understanding such things I agreed, and - much to my great joy - he offered to set it up for us, and now, after several weeks bloody hard work on his part - it is now open for beta testing HERE:

The core of the site consists of two Amazon-hosted "cryptoshops", one based in the UK and one in the USA, where you can browse our entire stock and purchase anything that takes your fancy. There are also a few pages about our main imprints and authors, and a blog which will be regularly updated to bring you news of new releases and such like. We have also set up a dedicated Twitter account for our publishing arm, which you can follow to keep up with all the latest book news:

Can you please test the new site to destruction and send your brickbats and plaudits to me at
jon@eclipse.co.uk The site seems pretty stable now, although we've experienced a few transient glitches when pages don't load properly or links don't work. We're not sure if these are problems with the server or our own aging hardware.
Personally I think we all owe Andrew a big vote of thanks and/or a couple of beers...
KOLO: Last July Ross bought his first ever little dog, a cockapoo puppy, who he named Kolo. I was bitten by a Red Setter when I was a teenager and was very reluctant to have a dog, although I grew up with family labradors when I was a child. Read on...
Richard was due to fly out to Tasmania today for the second Thylacine
expedition, but his gout has returned, his foot has swollen up like a balloon,
and he can't walk. So he is forced to be languishing at home rather than
adventuring across The Outback. I am trying to contact someone on the expedition
at the moment, but to no avail. This is a big blow especially for Richard.
