The Writing is Complete!

What's left is a lot of editing. Plus all the marketing, e.g. Descriptions of the book in various numbers of words, the design of the book cover, etc. I have the book cover art. It's my painting. The book contains over 130 articles from newspapers from 38 states and a number of countries. The articles go back to 1839 ( a fascinating one from Wisconsin in 1839). Be aware that WILD MEN (probably the title) are stories about humans and woodland ape like beasts like those huge, hairy, non-human primates that we think roam the woods of North America. Sometimes the stories make it pretty clear which is which. Sometimes not. The journalistic writing is different enough back in the 1800s and early 1900s that I've added a short glossary of terms you (and definitely me) were unsure of their meanings. I have also added a few pages on what I think Bigfoot is, man or ape since it has characteristics of both. I also delve into its possible origins. Fun stuff.
