January 2, 2007
During 2007, two books, one about and one by Bernard Heuvelmans, will be published in French, appearing by late February from the publisher Les Editions de l’Oeil du Sphinx, Paris.
The biography by Jean-Jacques Barloy is entitled Bernard Heuvelmans: Un Rebelle de la Science (Bernard Heuvelmans: A Science Rebel).
Barloy is also involved as the annotator of Heuvelmans’ forthcoming books. Jean-Luc Rivera is the director of the publishing of the Heuvelmans collection of books, Bibliothèque Heuvelmansienne (Heuvelmansian Library).
The collection’s first volume – which has never been published before – is Les Félins Encore Inconnus d’Afrique (The Felines Still Unknown in Africa) by Bernard Heuvelmans. The book on cryptid felids is annotated with updates by Jean-Jacques Barloy (perhaps Bernard Heuvelmans’ closest living friend and disciple).
The collection will publish the complete cryptozoological works of Bernard Heuvelmans over a period of several years. It will all be in French, the original language of the books and there are no plans yet to do the huge amount of translation work required for these books to appear in English.
Speaking of French volumes, the book-bound journal La Gazette Fortéenne #5 is also due out in March 2007. From the initial volumes with Jean-Luc Rivera as their editor, the La Gazette Fortéenne have been superb collections incorporating unique international information.
Volume 5 has these cryptozoology chapters:
– Michel Meurger: “Pieuvres d’eau douce, ethnozoologie et cryptozoologie”
– Benoit Grison: “‘Hommes Sauvages’ & Primates énigmatiques d’Afrique: un imbroglio cryptozoologique”
– François de Sarre: “Des géants et des hommes… ”
– Aurore Mosnier: “Qu’était la Bête du Gévaudan?”
– Jean-Luc Buard: “Qui a découvert l’arbre anthropophage de Madagascar?”
– Loren Coleman: “Tom Slick et la CIA”.

About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
