Exploring Childhood Fascination: Sasquatch in a New Fantasy Novel

A few days ago, I stumbled upon an intriguing video from the YouTube channel Mario Magana, featuring an interview with author Roxanne Seubert about her novel, "Sasquatch Adventure, Friendship, and the Unknown." As a dedicated Bigfoot researcher and enthusiast, I was immediately captivated by the discussion. Seubert, who grew up on the East Coast, has always been fascinated by Sasquatch folklore. Her curiosity deepened after watching the famous 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film, which features a grainy black-and-white clip of a Sasquatch walking in the woods. This encounter inspired her to write a middle-grade fantasy novel that would appeal to a wide audience. During the interview, Seubert shared her experience of searching for the perfect campsite to serve as the setting for her book. She found Money Creek Campground, which offered the perfect combination of a river, a bridge, and a location near Seattle. Interestingly, on her way home from the campground, she discovered a Sasquatch-themed coffee shop, which seemed like an extraordinary coincidence. Seubert's novel follows the adventures of 13-year-old Connor and his 10-year-old sister Penny as they explore the world of Sasquatch. The author emphasized that the story is not just for Bigfoot enthusiasts but also for those who enjoy Coming of Age tales with strong friendships and exciting challenges. I encourage you to watch the video and learn more about Roxanne Seubert's novel. The interview offers valuable insights into the author's creative process and her passion for Sasquatch folklore. In the world of Bigfoot research, it's essential to remain open-minded and curious. Seubert's novel is a testament to the power of storytelling and the enduring allure of the mysterious Sasquatch. Happy Squatching!
