Finding Charlie

I recently made my television debut. Having said that, I feel like this next bit needs to be said to clear things up, because I know a couple of people might be thinking somewhere waaaay out in left field. No, I was NOT on an episode of COPS.

For everyone else, the show that I blessed with my ugly mug probably won't be a huge shock. Afterall, if you've read my books, you're aware of this particular obsession.

My happy ass was featured in Animal Planet's Finding BIgfoot!

Here's a couple of screenshots from the episode that I was on. It was filmed in Asheville, North Carolina in February of 2016.

The episode is called "The Family That Squatches Together"

I got to meet and speak with the cast (including Monkey who was hanging out with me, discussing life's major issues like fleas and losing your ball - take that last one however you like). Everyone was very nice and sociable. 

Upon arriving at the location that served as the Town Hall, I was chatting with as many people as I could and was able to meet some great folks, hear some really cool stories, see a few pictures and even take a gander at some plaster casts.

It was an incredible night and I was glad to have been fortunate enough to have the experience and make some new contacts. 

The BFRO will occasionally open expeditions to the public. That's my next goal. I've been on many trips into the woods in search of these creatures, but it would be nice to go with the BFRO just to learn some new tricks and hit some new locations. Who knows...perhaps we'll see each other on one of the future outings.

With the help of family and friends, the team is investigating sightings along the Appalachian Trail. With a possible squatch in their midst, the group descends on a location along the trail, hoping for a squatchy night in the wilds of the Appalachia.

New Bigfoot Book Arrives on Kindle

This has been a long time coming. Way back, in December of 2013, I began working on my first nonfiction book - Bigfoot: A Guide To The Beasts Of The Field. The idea of writing this book, however, has been floating around in my head for many years.

During the course of writing it, I got the chance to explore some cool places, revisit some old tales from my youth, personal experiences and, above all, I got to meet some really awesome people (including the cast of Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot - all awesome folks, especially Bobo's dog Monkey).

This book is also my first release through my new publisher, Back Road Books. Jeremy Peterson (happy birthday, by the way) and James Jobling have been a blast to work with. Their tireless efforts in getting this book out cannot be understated.

I also had the opportunity to work with longtime friend, and fellow cryptid fanatic, Eric S. Brown. He did an amazing job writing the Foreword and I hope to be able to work with him again in the future.

Finally, I received a message that got me a wee bit excited. I was contacted by a local teacher who is working with some homeschooled students. He proceeded to tell me that part of a particular class had a "cryptozoology component." After voicing my jealousy (wish that component was there when I was in school), we talked for a while and I offered to help in any way I could, including sending him a copy of the book to share with the class. I never thought I would ever write something to be presented to a class in an academic setting. Needless to say, it's very cool and I'm very proud.

So, without further delay, you can grab the Kindle edition by clicking HERE. Paperbacks and other formats should be along soon.

Also, in doing all of this, I forgot to do the next chapter in the free serial, My Best Fiend. That will be going up as soon as possible.
