Creative Guy Publishing is a small publisher in Vancouver Canada, which has put out a number of noteworthy titles since 2002, including the Amityville House of Pancakes series, numerous chapbook, audiobook and ebook novellas, Tales of Moreauvia historical SF magazine, and many more unique publications. At CGP we bring you the unusual, but not the alienating. We hope you'll stick around and find something you like.
It was about that time again -- Spring Cleaning a year or so overdue. Hope you like the look of the new site, and feel free to leave any comments in the new forum. One of the goals of the new site is to streamline the news and book information and cut down on the clutter. That said, we still want to be a central resource for book news and information, and so we have maintained our newsfeeds from the movers and shakers in the publishing world -- checkout the newsfeeds from NYT, NPR, and Diverse Books.
As noted, we are sporting a new forum, so feel free to leave comments for your favourite CGP/LP authors, aim questions and feedback toward them, make them feel loved. Also, we are pleased to announce the publication of five new titles this year, and are including information for preodering. Our blog will cover news and notes about our authors' news in other realms, like Gary Wolf's new book from TOR, Space Vulture, and Adrienne Jones' Gypsies Stole My Tequila from Bedlam Press.
Check the bottom of the page here for our own newsfeeds to add to your reader. Whenever we update the news, publication schedule or post a link to a new review, you'll be the first to know. There is also a newsfeed from the forum. Finally, note the addition of various social bookmarking tags which will appear in the left column -- please digg, facebook, or del.icio.us us, and help us keep everyone in the loop.
Again, thanks for popping by, browse the shelves and feel free to order a book or two, or just share your morning with us and check the news.
best,
Pete, alpha weasel and chief bottle-washer, CGP/LP.
You may have noticed that the order buttons for Adrienne Jones' Brine haven't yet disappeared -- this is your last chance to take advantage of our laziness! Proofs for Brine are on their way to us, and once they're here, we'll be switching over to regular distribution and the offer of free shipping will be over. After all, you can't preorder and order at the same time really.
Adrienne Jone's newest novel, Brine, is now available for preorder! Brine will come in two editions -- trade paperback and a limited print run (100 copies ONLY) signed by the author.
Meet Elliot, respected Cape Cod painter. Unbeknownst to his admirers, Elliot's got some demons in his past. When he tries to paint them out of his system, his plan backfires. Now Elliot's got some demons in his present and future as well.
Spawned by a power of both mind and matter, Elliot's demons are very real, very weird, and very, very pissed off.
The people in Elliot's life called him 'closed off.' So he looked inside himself. Deep inside. What he found, he brought to the surface. Now its violent manifestations are holding him hostage at his beachside cabin. Worst of all, they know how to sing and dance.
1. We are very pleased to announce that author Lucy Snyder has recently accepted a 3-book deal with Del Rey to publish her novel Spellbent and its two sequels. Congrats, Lucy!

Preorder Byron Starr's Ace Hawkins and the Wrath of Santa Claus by September 15th, and not only will you get it shipped free (in the US and Canada) or cheap (in the UK), but you will be entered into a drawing to receive one of the original paintings by Bret Jordan, signed and framed. Three pictures will be given away, and the winners (three in total) will be allowed their choice of Bret's paintings -- the ones not claimed by the author already, that is... (Byron already yoinked three out of the pile).
