SQUATCH
In the 10 years since the advent of the 21st. century, what was supposed to go away had remained. Bigfoot, Sasquatch, or Yeti sightings had not decreased, but were still being reported at an ever-increasing rate. Today, with everyone having cameras on their phones, the digital pictures, though of poor quality, had continued to plague the press and investigators.
The same was true of the U.F.O. phenomenon which was even older and researched more in the nineteen sixties by more credible investigators; the U.S. Government with Project Blue Book was supposed to come to some kind of conclusion of this age-old malady. After years of study they surmised that it was all, for the most part, explainable, and therefore without merit. “Project Blue Book” concluded, under extreme pressure from the Government, that reports should be dismissed as either group hysteria or misinterpretations. This was a scam that set the investigations of this world-wide epidemic on its ear, for they suspected that there were no such things as UFO’s or Flying Saucers ( a term coined in 1947 by a civilian pilot named Kenneth Arnold and the press which was highly publicized and occurred on June 24th. 1947 near Mount Rainier Washington). The term UFO which replaced Flying Saucers, was adopted by the media in 1952 as a common reference to anything unknown and of any shape observed flying around in the sky. Be that seen by the human eye or radar, which was then referred to as a bogy or blip. After years of study, “Project Blue Book” convulsed upon itself and regurgitated that;
“1. No UFO reported, investigated, and evaluated by the Air Force was ever an indication of threat to our national security;
2.there was no evidence submitted to or discovered by the Air Force that sightings categorized as "unidentified" represented technological developments or principles beyond the range of modern scientific knowledge; and
3. there was no evidence indicating that sightings categorized as "unidentified" were extraterrestrial vehicles.” (Wikipedia-Project Blue Book)
Many new concepts and theories are emerging as to the connectivity between these two phenomena and others, and an overall feeling has developed among many researchers that in some Parallel-Universe way, they are all connected! From foul smelling ape-like creatures; ABSM’s, Yeti’s, Sasquatch, to Fairies, Leprechauns, UFOs, Ghosts, Angels and monstrous Demons, something has, and is, still finding its portal or way into our physical existence. Whether beckoned and intentionally called upon, through ancient rites such as Alchemy and Witchcraft, or just unknowingly stupid actions involving objects such as Ouija Boards and Divining Rods, to naturally occurring Magnetic Anomalies, these things exist, and have both physical and ethereal properties! Notice I did not say they were real. There is a fine line of resolution here that everyone determines differently. Either that or everyone seeing these peculiarities is insane.

About the author
R.S. Lehner
4 books46 followersI enjoy the idea of creating mystic and questioning tales that inspire others to peer into the possibilities.
Writing is a way of opening doors that otherwise would remain closed. My main ambition in this pursuit is to show a correlation between everything paranormal, and by that I mean THEY ARE ALL RELATED; yet real scientists refuse to jeopardize their comfort zone and work with these unusual and perplexing incidents and reports.
My interests include;
Anthropology, Astronomy, Physics, Chemistry, Oceanography, paranormal, Bigfoot, Ghosts, hauntings, and UFOs.
I want to share these interests and writing allows me to do just that. To that end I am grateful.
I have four books available here at Goodreads, Smashwords, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon;

Sometimes They Follow You Home
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007L74C2M
I feel that writing is also an expression of undisclosed ideas and symbolism that meets my needs. I can really get wrapped up in a scientific study of the paranormal and enjoy such authors as; Loren Coleman, Nick Redfern, Ivan Sanderson, Neil Arnold, and others who "delve" onto unknown trails. I have a keen interest in Bigfoot or sasquatch of the Northwest U.S. and dedicated my latest effort to writing about the connection between all paranormal activities.
Released in April 2012 and available at Barnes&Noble and Smashwords, "Sometimes They Follow You Home," is an effort to warn those who have a slight cursory interest in various paranormal phenomena to be wary of the addicting aspects and potential inherent dangers that accompany such excursions. It is not for the squeamish.
Late last year I released "SQUATCH" and it has been well received. I'm working on "SQUATCH TWO", but it's going to be a while. This is presenting more of a challenge than expected. The obvious inter-connections between investigators such as John Keel, J. Allen Hynek, and others, combined with the unusual and objective reports of Charles Fort, are becoming readily apparent as I continue to explore their conclusions.
I find it interesting that their ideas of conformity, actually follow an order of implied logic and substance, that cannot be denied. Where this may lead, I have no idea-but I have just become an avid fan of Zachariah Sitchin and Lloyd Pie. These authors are compelling and full of controversial notions that smack of embellished truth that defies our generally held ideas of our origins and beginnings. They both conclude that we are not related to the primates in any way; rather we were created in our own present form and DID NOT EVOLVE!
I tend to think along these same lines as primates have their 48 chromosomal genes and we have 46. Scientists are really befuddled as we engineer our way into the DNA codes and cannot expel nor refute these so-called abnormalities. The truth may be so simple and yet totally defy what we consider the norm. Certainly new discoveries will muddy their research further and will not be explained by Darwinian Evoloution. What the future holds is any one's guess, but I think they are "barking up the wrong tree."

Scared Me to Death, But Not for Beginners
By the time I finished this delightfully knowledge filled book, which managed to tie enough paranormal questions together to make me feel queasy in a scared way, I knew I was on to someone destined to become a favorite author. Touching on everything from ufo, serial killers, journeys out on body, getting lost in parallel universes, quantum physics, mothman, bigfoot, Vallee, Fort, Keel and Kaku, this is a must for the serious seekers libraries, both for entertainment and research.

I recieved a copy of this book for review. This is not my normal genre of book, but I liked the idea of this story. In execution, I didn't enjoy it as much, but it was ok. I am giving this book 2.5 stars, but since we don't have 1/2 options, I am rounding up to 3.
This book is indeed as you may have guessed about Sasquatches in the NorthWest. It takes an unexpected twist someways into the book - I didn't know what to expect out of this book, but the twist that came was completely unexpected... kind of like getting smacked on the side of the head with a snowball :)
This book is short and somewhat easy to read. I read this in an afternoon. Like I said earlier, this book was just ok for me. I am not sure specifically what didn't work for me, but it didn't flow very well for me. I am not a writer or an editor or anything like that - but I can tell you I did like the premis of this story. The characters were decently developed, but there was a lot of aspects that were not explained, which lead to some confusion on my part throughout the story. I have to admit, as I said before, this is not my preferred type of book, but I did really enjoy the author's take on this subject matter! It took me down an entirely new road, which I really really enjoyed. This specific look was explained throughout the book, at times it was overly done, but it was throuogh, in the end the information explained was necessary to understand the outcome of the book.
The best part and most creepy for me was the end... That's all I can say without giving it away!
Enjoy -
