| Published Zoology Book: Shadows of Existence |
| Released from Hancock House in Spring 2006, this book reviews the many discoveries still being made (and some which still await us) in the world of zoology. It surprises many people how many new animals are being found, and how many clues there are about animals which may still lurk in the shadows. This sequel to my 1995 Rumors of Existence (Hancock House, still available) covers recent discoveries, rediscoveries of "lost" species, the "maybe" animals of cryptozoology, and many other surprises and mysteries of the animal kingdom. |
