CZP Publications

CZP PUBLICATIONS are alive and well, and still publishing some of the best books by any indie press, anywhere.

Because of the problems over at Leisure Books, a few rumours arose that CZP were also having difficulties (Leisure used to sponsor the ChiZine website, but don’t any more). These rumours are untrue.

CZP published my recent novella The Thief of Broken Toys, and they did such a fine job with it that I’d love to work with them again. Hope that’ll happen sometime in the future. Meanwhile, visit their website to check out their back catalogue, and to see some of the exciting projects they have in the works.

The Walking Dead … oh yes!

The End

Tim Lebbon — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 07:16:44 +0000

Some scientists are now suggesting that the universe will continue to expand forever. I’ll be throwing a party, all invited.

This guy will be guest of honour.

Cape Cod … this is what it’s all about

After this, some real blog posts, honest.

Updates – interview, and audio book news

Tim Lebbon — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 20:31:59 +0000

We’ve just returned from Cape Cod where my family holidayed with the Goldens – had a wonderful time, and I’ll post a picture or two over the next few days. Meanwhile, here’s an update of what happened when I was away:

Audio Realms Inc will soon be releasing an audiobook version of BERSERK. Go here to check out details and download the first chapter to listen to – it’s wonderful, and I can’t wait to hear the whole book.

There’s a new interview with me on the SF Site, you can go here to read all about it.

Workwise, Chris Golden and I are on the home stretch with the Secret Journeys of Jack London script for Fox 2000.

And there are a few other projects I’m working which I won’t say much about right now – early stages – but they include a TV series and a new screenplay.

More soon!

Some new reviews …

Tim Lebbon — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 06:50:22 +0000

Here’s a nice review of The Thief of Broken Toys from UK writer Wayne Simmons.

And a scorcher for The Chamber of Ten.

Taking a ten day break from posting here now (What, you say, not as if you do it regularly anyway!) As a man once said, I’ll be back.

GUARDIAN review 30 Days of Night: Fear of the Dark

Tim Lebbon — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 07:22:55 +0000

The Guardian gave 30 Days of Night: Fear of the Dark a great review last Saturday, part of which said:

After a glut of vampire novels, even fans of horror must be feeling sated by now, but Lebbon’s vampires are not the angst-ridden beasts that are currently prevalent; nor are they the garlic – fearing creatures of tradition. Rather, they are down – to – earth monsters in a hardcore horror tale by one of the UK’s leading exponents of the genre.

Nice!

Now then … It’s an incredibly busy time for me right now, and I’m aware that this website needs a good deal of updating. The Library page is missing a couple of books, the Films page needs updating to reflect progress in various projects, and there are other tweaks that need making. I plan on spending a day doing this early September … so if there’s anything you’d like to see on this site – or any obvious omissions – let me know.
