There’s a village of folks who’ve helped this book go from idea to an actual book. As always, my wife, Nancy, for her support through every phase of this project. I want to thank Rich Danksy, Bigfoot aficionado, for giving his feedback after several read-throughs. Ron Lottermann and his daughter, Emily, also offered feedback that helped shape the story to what it is now. Derek Hayes from the Monsters Among Us podcast was instrumental in helping nail a number of Bigfoot details down and I’m grateful for his assistance. Thank yous go out to the guys in the National Gun Forum for their help in getting the gun facts straight. A shout out to my Necon community for your undying support during those darker moments. Of course, this book wouldn’t exist without the awesome work by the folks at Crossroad Press—David Niall Wilson, David Dodd, and Andrea Ball—and everyone else who had a hand in making this a reality.
This book is dedicated to the searchers, the seekers, and the believers.
