Bigfoot Beginnings: Short Stories about Close Encounters of the Sasquatch Kind
About this ebook
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.
