Book excerpt: What is the cost of believing in Bigfoot? Charlie has risked his academic career--and his relationship with his son--to pursue the legendary creature known as Bigfoot or Sasquatch. Charlie's son Rick thinks Bigfoot is a hoax, but at the same time he wants to connect with his father--and with Katy, Charlie's new protégé. Katy believes in Bigfoot and desperately wants to see one face-to-face. Soon each of these people will experience something in the woods, something that irrevocably alters their mind-sets and their relationships with each other. 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 The Bigfoot Effect, find out how their experiences with the Bigfoot phenomenon affect their personal lives. This e-book contains three short stories, plus a bonus fourth story from the collection Bigfoot Beginnings (Human Origins Series: Backstories, Vol. 1). It's the second volume in a series of backstories--short stories focusing on events in the lives of characters from the Human Origins Series novels by Lisa A. Shiel. ---------- The stories in this e-book are also available in paperback as part of the collection Confronting Sasquatch.
