LARS THOMAS WRITES: Dear friends and colleagues in the world of cryptozoology.
So many of you have expressed love and support during the almost six months my wife has been missing, so I feel it is my duty to inform you that the long wait, the months of anxiety and speculating is over – a few days ago I had...
The dreaded visit
On a Wednesday morning
There were two of them
We’re sorry to inform you...
Finally the answer
The gut wrenching answer I had known for months
Drowned, they said
Drifted all the way to the Polish coast, they said
I don’t really care, because now I truly know that you are no longer here, and that some part of me will be for ever lonely
23 years – just like that
But we will survive, the boys and I, we will never get over it, but we will learn to live with it.
But I promise you will be proud of us.
I promise I will give our boys the best life I possibly can.
I promise we will try to be happy again.
My fingers hesitate as my tears fall on the keyboard
So for the very last time
Farewell my love, my sweet, my life
Sleep well.
Apparently Jeanett fell into the water in Copenhagen Harbour and drowned the night in February where she disappeared. It is a small comfort that the weather and the water were blisteringly cold. It must have been over in seconds. And then she drifted all the way across the Baltic to land on the north coast of Poland. She was actually found in early April, but for some reason the Polish authorities didn’t bother to try establishing her identity until now. I have no idea when I can get her home and bury her – the paperwork (of which the Polish authorities are very fond it would seem) could take several more weeks.
Thank you – and please remember her.
I have to explain right at the beginning of today’s entry,that the last of the above two questions will not be answered on this blog, but I thought that it added a little spice to the heading, without blatantly shouting,“ Roll up, roll up, hear all about it. Come on in and be amazed, shocked or even beguiled by the saga of the wet shorts incident in Tesco”.
I have been very fortunate during more than 20 years as a full-time author in that virtually every book that I have personally submitted for publication or have been involved with in some capacity has duly appeared in print. During the mid-1990s, however, there was one notable exception to this successful trend. Read on...

Matt Salusbury is an old friend of ours, and we are very pleased to be publishing his groundbreaking book on pygmy elephants later this year.
