Tonight's guest, Jon Marshall, had his first Bigfoot sighting when he was 12 years old. You see, at the time, he was on a golf course, in Smithfield, Utah, which is in the northern part of the state. The day that sighting happened, Jon had gone to the golf course, with his friend, Jimmy, to find golf balls. They were looking for golf balls because the golf course would pay them 25 cents for every golf ball they found. It was an early spring day and they had gone down into a gully, on the course, when they found a deer carcass that looked out of place. Upon seeing the deer carcass, Jon walked over to it, to take a closer look at it. There were several things about the carcass that didn't seem right and when he turned to say something about it to Jimmy, he saw that Jimmy's face was ashen. A split second later, Jimmy dropped everything he was carrying a bolted away, at top-speed…  To purchase a copy of Jon's book, titled “Cache Valley Bigfoot: Field Guide and Stories about Bigfoot in Cache Valley,” please go to…  https://www.amazon.com/Cache-Valley-Bigfoot-Field-Stories/dp/B08ZW38DQ9?ref=d6k_applink_bb_dls&dplnkId=759ba19a-93aa-4b96-b175-e2f1eec6684a  To purchase a copy of Jon's book, titled “Cache Valley Bigfoot: Sometimes the shadows do move in the Woods,” please go to…  https://www.amazon.com/Cache-Valley-Bigfoot-Sometimes-shadows/dp/B09M9SB1PD?ref=d6k_applink_bb_dls&dplnkId=04c1b0c2-9cdd-487f-9871-4f97c2b68e8f  If you've had a Bigfoot sighting and would like to be a guest, on the show, please go to https://MyBigfootSighting.com and let us know.

M.D. HOUSE, an author from Utah, joined us to discuss his latest release, "Crossroads of Awakening Memory".  "To young trainee Rain Barynd, becoming a Council Guard in bucolic New Haven will secure a positive future that involves neither farming nor any real fighting. Impressing his girlfriend's skeptical parents and overcoming a handful of bullies among the trainees—along with the inexplicable intensity of his trainer, a decorated warrior from the East—are his greatest challenges. Or so he believes. A rare and ruthless bandit attack marks the beginning of the mayhem that engulfs Rain's childhood home and sets him on an unimaginable path that includes … his own magic? Talismans that enable travel to other worlds? Griffons and dragons, ancient nemeses thought to be long extinct? Strange metal beasts that spit bellowing fire? And even elves of fairy tale, as real as the dwarves? Amid a besom of chaos and doubt, Rain must work with members of a mysterious ancient order to piece together a growing convergence of clues long prophesied. All while trying to figure out his place in the madness. Only one thing is certain—he is not ready." FROM HIS WEBSITE: "M.D. (Mike) House semi-retired from a successful career in Corporate Finance and Business Leadership in late 2020. While most of that time was spent in the Midwest of the United States—primarily in the Chicago area—he traveled to many parts of world as he supported design, production, marketing and selling of large manufactured products like Ford vehicles, International trucks, and Sullair-branded industrial air compressors. He also did a stint in Reno, Nevada working for a gold mining company, and has been deep inside an underground mine in South America. Interesting experience. Since semi-retiring, he and his wife have lived in Cache Valley, in northern Utah, and love it there. Mike is not from Utah (though he was born there), but his mother hails from nearby Weston, ID. He has driven by Glenn Beck's ranch entrance several times, wondering if he'll ever get to see over the hill. A natural teacher and storyteller, Mike has been able to take full advantage of his semi-retirement by engaging in his love for fiction writing. He started many years ago with some science fiction, but has since expanded into Biblical and Book of Mormon historical fiction, and also fantasy. Adding his keen interests in economics and politics to life-sustaining faith, he aims to make a positive impact on the world with powerful stories of people both real and imagined. He doesn't expect to ever match “the greatest short story ever told” (Jesus's Parable of the Prodigal Son), but he'll continue to do his best." ​www.mdhouselive.com
