Book mentioned on writing blog

Hi Spotters,

Sorry for the lapse in postings... my day job has been keeping me really busy (I'll spare you the woes of my department restructuring...or spare myself, rather, as it sucks the energy out of me to even talk about it).

Check out this nice mention of Monster Spotter's Guide on the Writer's Rainbow, a blog for creative writers.

Bigfoot Hoax

Well, the Georgia Bigfoot body turned out to be a hoax. Shocking, I know. This article tells pretty much the whole story.

But, in happier news... the Mothman festival in Point Pleasant, WV is going strong.

The Bigfoot Saga Continues

If you've been following the story about the Bigfoot corpse that was "revealed" at a press conference on Friday (or even if you haven't), then you're probably not surprised to hear that there's a lot of controversy over the findings.

At present, there are claims that the DNA evidence fails to prove the body found by hunters in Georgia is actually a sasquatch. Human and oppossum DNA is pointed at as matches for the 2 samples tested (which leads one to wonder how the samples were collected...).

Anyway. The hunters still claim the corpse is real, even though they sort of admit to maybe faking some online videos for fun. The more I read about this the more crazy it all sounds. See for yourself:

Bigfoot, UFOs and Chupacabras

Hi Spotters,

Here's a few cool stories for you this morning... some of my friends have been sending me some links.

First, here's a couple from Tom Nguyen (Tom and I met at Comic Con--he's an awesome comic artist, check out his work and his fun instructional book):

• Another story about Friday's Bigfoot press conference
• A thread on the Stephenville, TX UFO reports

And here's one from my pal Justin:

• Video of a live Chupacabra almost exactly a year after the big "Chupacabra in the freezer" story in Cuero, TX.

BIG NEWS! Bigfoot Evidence to Be Revealed This Friday

So, there's a claim that a Bigfoot corpse that was discovered in northern Georgia. There's going to be a press conference in Palo Alto, CA on Friday Aug 15. Read the story here

Lapse

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

I've totally been a bad blogger. My post Comic Con work catch up has kept me so busy with my day job worky-work that I haven't had time to even think, it seems.

I also took a few days of vacation... the wife and I went to Chicago to see She and Him. It was a really cool show, albeit a little strange. If you  haven't listened to them, you should... it's kind of an alt-country meets the 60s kind of thing. Like if Patsy Cline was playing with the Partridge Family or something. Zooey Deschanel has a freaking amazing voice.

I'm gonna get back on my game soon, I promise. This weekend we have some company visiting from out of town, but next week... 

Anyway, sorry.

Back in the Office

Hey spotters,

I've been out of town for a few days, so sorry for the lapse in reporting (I was attending San Diego Comic Con--I've got some cool pics to share soon).

For now, here's a few monster headlines from while I was out:
