There are those who don’t believe and others that turn and run, leaving the only Bigfoot in southwest Virginia feeling very alone. But this furry fella has a plan! Join the lonely, only Blue Ridge Bigfoot as he leaves the forest behind in a search for the one thing we all need – a friend!
M. R. Hooley is a retired US Navy veteran, award-winning artist and woodcarver, and author of several rhyming children’s picture books. Born and raised in western Pennsylvania, Hooley earned a degree in Anthropology, and is currently pursuing a Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing.
A gypsy in his younger days, he has lived in Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, Wisconsin (Go Badgers!), California and, for a short time, the beautiful island of Oahu. Aside from his artistic endeavors, he enjoys camping, hiking, and adding to a sizable ukulele collection!
After bouncing around for far too long, Hooley and his wife have settled in southwest Virginia, where they live happily with one too many cats.
