Bigfoot Boy

Chapter 4

The author acknowledges the skill and friendship of Judith Hansen, who initially edited this novel and saw it through from conception to completion.

It was Judi"s suggestion of a story about a Sasquatch alien teen that prompted this novel in the first place.

I would like to thank Miika and Petteri and the staff at Next Chapter for their kind acceptance of Bigfoot Boy, the wonderful new cover, and the opportunity to bring it to the light of day once again.

I am very grateful to my family, children, and friends for their support and unconditional encouragement of my writing career.

Not least, I acknowledge the early start our parents gave us as they encouraged me to read voraciously and precociously, and write from a very early age.

In particular, professors at the University of Alberta taught me to think, and for that I will always be grateful.
