The adventure catapults them into a wicked world of kidnapping, bribes, corporate subterfuge, and murder as the action plunges deep underwater, soars airborne, and careens through the northern Michigan woods.

EVOLUTION.

A deceptively simple word that has transformed
the way we look at ourselves and everything around us. Once considered
unique, man has been reduced to little more than another animal, thanks
to evolutionary theories. Textbooks present evolution as
fact-indisputable, inevitable, and incomprehensible unless you hold a
PhD in a relevant field.

Don't believe it. Anyone can understand evolution. And this book provides the tools!

Evolutionists push the idea that only religious zealots dispute evolution. The Evolution Conspiracy
exposes the faults in evolutionary theories, the half-truths, and the
inconsistencies through a secular lens. Author Shiel takes on the
challenge to demonstrate that
Evolution fails to meet standard criteria for a fact or a theory. No one can satisfactorily define what a species is.The usual definition of evolution is so vague as to be meaningless.No one knows how life originated, or where the original living cell came from.DNA is not infallible (despite what CSI would lead you to believe).Read. Think. Decide for yourself.

"Shiel
is consistently convincing...that evolutionary scientists have defined
'facts' and 'theory' to suit themselves. . .[and] have circumvented the
true scientific method." --Dr. Quinton R. Rogers, Distinguished Professor
Emeritus, Dept of Molecular Biosciences, School of Veterinary Medicine,
University of California, Davis

"This gem of a book sheds light
on the current status of evolution as a scientific theory. Shiel
examines the questions from a strictly scientific point of
view." --Michael A. Cremo, Author, Forbidden Archeology and Human Devolution

"This
book takes a fresh look at evolution, time, and human origins. What are
we? Why are we?" --Paul Abramson, Editor, Creationism.org

"Makes
the most difficult issues easy to comprehend. . .reminds us that we can
question, and should." --Emily Decobert, BookPleasures.com

"A
powerful argument against the shibboleths of evolutionists and the cult
of Darwin...A triumph of logic over dogma!" --Timothy Birdnow, American
Daily Review

A year ago, Katy Bergren faced a terrifying enemy with colossal power
and walked away from the battle--but not without painful losses. Now
that same enemy covets an ancient, and supposedly mythical, book that
contains unimaginable secrets--and Katy's foe will do anything, even
kill, to get it. With time running out, Katy and her husband Rick must
plunge headlong into a booby-trapped hunt for a book that may not even
exist, before their enemies tear the world apart to find it.

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).

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.

Jack Hughes is a 16 year old orphan. His only inheritance is a 30 foot sailboat and he intends to sail it down the Intra Coastal Waterway from Baltimore to Miami in memory of his recently killed parents who loved to sail. He is joined by a 16 year old girl who has run away from home and wants to forget her home life. They rescue a young boy in Chesapeake Bar and are led to searching for the boy's parents' killers all the way to Cuba.

On the way there is a kidnapping and a rescue by the Coast Guard, the two are trained as spies, taught to use weapons, and are given disguises and new identities. They are assigned to work with the security service of Castro's communist country.

Diving deep into the cold gray-green depths of Lake Superior, Matt and Tanya follow the algae-coated links of an old anchor chain to a mysterious shipwreck. The discovery of the ship's log heightens the mystery and locks them in a vicious struggle with a pair of powerful, and deadly, business moguls determined to keep the past buried. The adventure catapults them into a wicked world of kidnapping, bribes, corporate subterfuge, and murder as the action plunges deep underwater, soars airborne, and careens through the northern Michigan woods.

With the sound of snapping pine tops and tortured metal, a deer hunt becomes a rescue mission. Matt Hunter's choices quickly become life-and-death decisions as a barrage of life-changing events thrust him into a fast-paced, page-turning adventure as he fights killer storms, dangerous gangsters, DEA bureaucracy, and love for a seductive woman and pits all his skills and judgment against those who would just as soon see him dead. 

Tanya crashes into his life on a drug-filled plane, adding a beautiful, mysterious ingredient to a cauldron of action, danger, death, riches, and romance. 

A Russian crime boss strides onto the scene, alternatively deadly or charming, depending on how his borsch is stirred. 

The action races across an ice-covered Michigan lake, disrupts Hunter's snow-bound Upper Peninsula cabin, slices through the Gulf Stream on a yacht, and stalks tropical hills.
