Some Interesting Changes

Howdy, folks.

There's a few things coming up on the horizon that have me incredibly excited and, at last, I'm able to share it with you.

Let's start at the beginning.

First up in the news, I have a new publisher. I have officially joined the ranks of James Jobling (author of National Emergency) and Jeremy Peterson (author of A Devil In God's Country) at Back Road Books. This has resulted in them picking up my upcoming book, Bigfoot: A Guide To The Beasts Of The Field, which will be published later this year.

Next up, Back Road Books not only deals with the written word, but also (wait for it......) film production. Back Road will be filming a documentary that is slated to begin production in 2017 or 2018. The film will tie into my Bigfoot field guide and will focus on, what many believe to be, one of the single greatest pieces of Bigfoot evidence ever - the Patterson/Gimlin film. It will be filmed in and around Willow Creek, California. I'm giddy to announce that I will be going along to take part in this project. This has been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember and I'm above and beyond honored to be going. Truth be told, I'm happy as hell!

Finally, I have began working on a new, fictional, novella that is a bit of a tribute piece to the late, great, Richard Laymon entitled The Atavist. The story will follow a family on a camping trip that runs afoul a group of maniacal survivalists. Its my nastiest, most graphic, story to date.

More news on all of these will be along just as soon as it becomes available.

Take care.

Field Guide - Update

Howdy, folks.

Its been a long time, hasn't it? As some of you know, there's been quite a bit going on around the Morgan household for the past couple of years. My dad and I had taken on the roles of caregivers for my dad's uncle, who had terminal cancer. During that time, any and all projects that I had been working on were put on hold. It was a long, dark, couple of years. On December 9, 2015, the uncle passed away. At 80 years old, he had lived a full life and was at peace with his passing.

A NEW BOOK IS ON THE WAY

A couple of years ago, I made the announcement that I was working on my first ever nonfiction book - Bigfoot: A Guide To The Beasts of the Field. Ever since I first broke the news, it seems that the project was cursed to remain in limbo due to various issues. I'm happy to report that the curse has (hopefully) been broken and the finish line is within sight. 

The book is a field guide for those who wish to learn more about Bigfoot research. Its for all ages and has some historical accounts (including one by a future President of the United States) as well as a few that I have investigated personally. One such investigation took me to one of the spookiest places I have ever been in my life! I'm beyond excited about this one and can't wait to see what you guys think. My good friend, and fellow Bigfoot junkie, Eric S. Brown is writing the foreword. There will also be a little surprise tucked away in the back.

In the days leading up to the release, I will be bringing back the "Bigfoot Week" posts and may even try to have some guest bloggers come on board for some of them. 

I will also be posting some extras that'll be exclusive to this project. I have one investigation left to do and am planning on doing some videos to go along with all of this. Exciting times are on the horizon!

There is no official release date as of right now, however, I am shooting for sometime in February or March 2016.

BIGFOOT: A GUIDE TO THE BEASTS OF THE FIELD - Synopsis

SOMETHING IS OUT THERE!

It is one of the greatest mysteries that the world has ever known. For centuries, people have reported seeing giant, manlike, creatures roaming through the dense forests. The scientific community refuses to accept the existence of these beings despite the growing amount of evidence.

Within this book you'll learn the basics of Bigfoot research and forensics to help get you started in the field of cryptozoology.

Learn footprint casting, evidence gathering, and the history of these creatures. Also contains actual reports investigated by the author.


Here's a look at the cover art.

That's about all I have for the moment. Keep watch on this page for more in the coming days. See you soon!
