Researcher Reviews Requested
Please forgive the alliteration of the title of this post. I just couldn’t help myself.
A few times here before I’ve made mention of the new book that my wife Desirée Lee, and myself are working on. The project I’m referring to is the still as yet untitled sasquatch novel. As a progress report, I’d like to let you all know that we’re over 58,000 words into the current draft. Anyway, we would like to include reviews of the book by sasquatch field researchers, and/or groups. Either whole reviews, or small snippets from those reviews.
If you are a sasquatch researcher, if you’d be willing to read a digital copy of the book’s manuscript before it’s published, and if you’d be willing to give us permission to use any or all of your review in the book (or on the book cover), and allow the publisher to use said material for promo purposes, then we want to hear from you. Please get in touch with me me via the “Contact” page on my website. The more responses we get to this, the better. So, please share this around as much as you can. The more visible this post becomes, the more potential sasquatch researchers that are likely to see it.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Sasquatch Novel Update
The sasquatch novel that Desirée Lee and I have been working so hard on is nearly finished. We’re a bit over 60,000 words into it. This draft should wrap up quickly. We’re still looking for the right title for the book. Nothing we’ve come up with yet fits it, and sounds less than cheesy. So, we continue tossing title ideas around. We’re also doing a lot of back and forth discussion on what the book’s cover ought to look like.
In the meantime, we’re still looking for sasquatch researchers to read the book, and review it before it’s released. I talked about that in more detail in a recent post.

Short Preview – “Hidden Tribe”
One of the books that Desirée Lee and I are currently co-authoring is our sasquatch novel, “Hidden Tribe“. Final edits are back now. We're trying to allow a bit more time for some advance reviews to come in before the book goes to print, though. The following is a short preview – the opening five paragraphs – of the book.
Iktomi crouched low to the ground, his massive bulk hidden behind the wide trunk of a broken pine tree, and clusters of ferns. He remained motionless, rendering himself all but invisible, listening.
The dual sounds of the deer’s racing hooves in the clutter of vegetation, and its pounding heart, told Iktomi the exact location of the prey. Mingled with the noises of the deer’s panic were the footfalls of Toylona, as she gave chase through the dense forest.
At precisely the right moment, Iktomi leapt from cover, relieving his mate, and taking over the pursuit. He bristled his hair from head to foot, adding perceived size to his already considerable largeness. The deer bleated its terror and dismay, angling away from Iktomi as he lunged.
Exhausted though it may have been, the deer sprang forward, charging away, struggling to increase the distance between them. Iktomi refused to allow the prey to escape. The healthy young buck would feed Iktomi, Toylona, and their offspring for two or three days. He gave chase, using his long, powerful legs to their maximum advantage.
When the deer’s zigzag path took it around several trees which forced Iktomi to slow his pursuit, he inhaled deeply. Lungs filled with air, Iktomi jumped clear of the trees, bellowing. His chest vibrated with the combined force of the roar, and the infrasound underlay.

1st Bigtruth Article
In part because of the new book my wife and I have coming out soon - that being our sasquatch novel "Hidden Tribe" - I'm been asked to write a series of articles for a sasquatch blog called Bigtruth. The series is being called "Harper's History", as the series focuses on historical encounters, rather than modern-day one. The name of the series is the idea of the blog's owner.
Thus far, I've written three of them. Find the first one here: http://bigtruthblog.blogspot.com/2016...

“Finding Bigfoot” This Week - 04/08/2016
Last November, my wife and I were lucky enough to be able to attend a town hall meeting for the Animal Planet TV series "Finding Bigfoot". While time didn't allow for us to share our own sightings, we were very glad to have been able to attend. "Our" episode is this week's. Given where we sat during the taping, we're pretty much assured to be on-screen during the town hall meeting scenes of this week's episode when it airs. If you have Animal Planet, check it out, and look for us!
