Jake Hawks has been interested in Bigfoot since the 1970s and has been an avid reader of all Bigfoot literature. He has developed his own theories about the mythical creature, which he has taken into the field to test. Once Hawks began to have sequential dreams, he felt inspired to begin writing this adventure story. Hawks was raised on Long Island in New York but has retired to New Mexico, where he loves fishing, being outdoors, and spending his time golfing (when he's not writing, of course).
