Shameless Self-Promotion
Well, we ended up getting home a bit early from the July 4th weekend; and as this is the same weekend that my new book - There’s Something in the Woods: A Transatlantic Hunt for Monsters and the Mysterious - is published, I figured I might as well go ahead and tell you about it now.
Published by Anomalist Books, it covers my cryptozoological investigations, monster hunts, and UFO-related investigations that took place over the course of the last two years.
In early 2006, my wife, Dana, and I moved back to jolly old England to live, and remained there until August of that year - after which we returned to sun-drenched Dallas.
So, basically, the book - as its sub-title demonstrates - is a personalized account of the many and varied crypto- and UFO-driven exploits and adventures that I embarked on in that same period - on both sides of the Atlantic, and sometimes with a bemused and amused Dana along for the ride.
And what, you may ask, does the book contain?
Well, for Anglophiles, you get much on the British Bigfoot; the Werewolf of England’s Cannock Chase woods; the Devil-Dogs of centuries-past; big-cats; giant snakes; and a dizzying array of other beasts.
And States-side, you will will find a wealth of new material on the Thunderbird and other mysterious winged-things; the American Werewolf; Sasquatch; the Texas Goat-Man; monstrous insects; and much, much more.
As far as UFOs (and related issues) are concerned, the book contains much on a little-known alleged UFO crash-retrieval from the 1960’s; a controversial and bizarre theory pertaining to cattle-mutilations; and new data on the Men in Black.

looks Intriguing, and it looks like a trip down to the woods in the near future!

Hmm. Too bad your articles from the ever-mysterious Alien Worlds are not reprinted. Anyway just finished my second reading of Body Snatchers for the Roswell Fest. Damn that book is complicated and one of the most impressive detective jobs ever done. I’m more than pissed that people can’t handle the contents, passing it off as simply based on anonymous sources. Still, as you end the book, these types of high-tech occult messes slip into the Oz Effect.

Thanks re Body Snatchers. I know why the book is dismissed. It’s not actually because people can’t believe that high-altitude balloon experiments with people on board couldn’t have taken place.
Rather, it’s very simply that people in the UFO community don’t want to hear that aliens might not have crashed at Roswell.
Roswell is the ufological Holy Grail, and many of the big names of Ufology want it to stay that way - basically, I see it that there’s a fear that if Roswell crashes (no pun intended), so does the subject.
But people should realize that Roswell is just one case of many. It should never have been given elite, make-or-break status.
There’s another book on the human experimentation angle of Roswell coming out in just a few months from now.
Nothing to do with me, but covers very similar ground and follows on from some of the things I found.

I just wrote:

I should have said:
“…I see it that, as far as much of the UFO community is concerned, there’s a fear that if Roswell crashes (no pun intended), so does the subject.”
My first comment made it look like I was concerned, when I meant to say I believe certain elements of the UFO community are concerned about what will happen if Roswell falls.
