Chris Murphy’s book, for clarification, is a revised and updated version of his earlier Sasquatch book.

Oh, yes, there are several hints of works in there by me or with introductions by me.

True Giants is in limbo, pending some health-related and computer-related issues of the coauthors that have slowed down a variety of pre-production elements of the book.

Yeah, Chris Murphy’s new one sounds great plus the other one of Hancock House. Great publisher by the way.

I’d love to read Boss Snakes… and that Cryptofiction book called Devils Ridge. Awesome!

What about you, Loren? Got some new plans? Mysterious America Vol. 2? What happened to “True Giants”?

I clicked on the link for “The Devil’s Ridge.”

The Amazon.com overview I read referred to the sasquatch as “North America’s great ape.”

One takes one’s progress where one can.

Hi all, looking forward to Chris Murphy’s new one. If his last ones are any indication, this should be great!

Two thoughts:

I am surprised the big snake sightings are not most numerous in Florida through East Texas as opposed to much further North.

The Sasquatch stories have a fearsome quality about them. How about one where Sasquatch is a guardian of the mountain forest and helps some lost kids? Maybe a bunch more messin’ with Sasquatch commercials?

That giant snake book looks very interesting. Any giant snakes seen in Florida that are not escaped boas or pythons are probably Florida Indigo Snakes, but all those sightings in Pennsylvania and other Northern states are not so easily explained. I can’t wait to read the book, I had no idea there were so many giant snake sightings in the US.
