Book Description
Charlie, Rick, and Katy have never seen a Bigfoot. Yet soon each of them will, separately, experience something inexplicable in the woods, something that makes them question their worldview, something that sets them on the path to their destiny. Father and son Charlie and Rick Bergren go through the same events together but react in vastly different ways. Katy Gallagher, while hiking alone in the woods, gets shaken up by a strange series of events that will alter her future in ways she hasn't yet imagined. If you've read the Human Origins Series novels, then you know these characters well. If not, then take this chance to meet them. In Bigfoot Beginnings, find out how they first experienced the Bigfoot phenomenon, and how those events changed their lives. This Kindle book contains three short stories, plus a bonus story from the collection The Bigfoot Effect (Human Origins Series: Backstories, Vol. 2). ---------- The stories in this e-book are also available in paperback as part of the collection Confronting Sasquatch. ++++ From the author: Every character has a backstory. Readers may not be privy to the entire background of each character, but the writer knows each of them intimately. Events from the characters' pasts only make it into a novel if they're vital to the story. But what happened to these folks before they woke up inside one of my novels? To answer that question, I started writing short stories to flesh out the background of each character. In The Hunt for Bigfoot, Katy mentions that she's never seen a Bigfoot before. Yet she believes in this mysterious beast without question. How did she come by that belief? Also in HFB, Charlie is a disgraced history professor on the verge of getting fired for his interest in Bigfoot. What convinced him to risk his career by investigating the Bigfoot mystery? And then there's Rick, a skeptic of the most diehard variety. He ridicules Katy and his father, Charlie, for their interest in Bigfoot. He proclaims that no such creature could possibly exist. But did something in his past foster his adamant skepticism? In Bigfoot Beginnings, I explore these questions. I hope you will enjoy reading about these characters as much as I've enjoyed creating them.

To get some much-needed pink, he’ll have to find the missing link… Billy James Hoyt is a down-on-his-luck, red-blooded American man in 1981 rural Oregon. His mullet is perfectly kept, his farmboy muscles worked to perfection from a lifetime of construction work, and his trailer has functional plumbing. But he has no one to share it with until his eccentric best friend, Tony B Loehne, comes up with the perfect poon-hearted plan: find, seduce, and fool around with Bigfoot. Billy is skeptical, until he gets an eyeful–and handful–of the vivacious wild woman for himself. Taken aback by the life-changing experience, but not wanting to disappoint Tony with the truth that sasquatch chose Billy instead of him, our unlikely hero has to search for the key to his wild heart while juggling an expired six-pack of lies that would churn even the most hardened roughneck’s stomach. “A triumphant masterpiece of hopeful nihilism.” – My Boss “I still love you even after reading this, and I don’t know if I like what that says about me.” – My Girlfriend

Curious Little Bigfoot

Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
Curious Little Bigfoot: A modern tale about Bigfoot, A legendary animal of the Redwood Wilderness By: Mina Sloan Hassman In 1967, Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin purportedly captured footage of bigfoot in the redwood forests of northern California, and a phenomenon was born that continues to capture the imagination of new generations. Elementary school is a time of evolving reading habits and unbridled curiosity. As they grow and learn, students who have mastered primary-grade picture books look to transition to more sophisticated reading materials that describe the world around them while still appealing to their creativity. Immersive experiences at this age can nurture a lifelong love of learning and a compassion for others. Conceived as a first chapter book for young readers, Curious Little Bigfoot tackles topics like family, nature, and discovery through a fantastical story rooted in a vibrant, real-world setting. Tommy and Little-Big are mirror images of each other, both yearning to explore beyond their usual day-to-day experiences. Like the young readers themselves, the characters are trying to pursue their dreams while navigating family relationships, community needs, and unknown dangers. Author Mina Hassman channels her experiences as an elementary school teacher, reading specialist, and Northern California resident into a story that appeals to young readers without talking down to them. In following the characters’ adventures over just a few days in the woods, readers learn about the flora and fauna of the redwood forests, and the techniques and craftsmanship that come in handy when living in the forest — all through a unique and sympathetic take on the stories of bigfoot. The accompanying study guides promote discussions about vocabulary and literary concepts to further the book’s educational reach.
