I don’t think I’ve ever read books as quickly as I’ve been reading your cryptid horror books! They are so entertaining and creepy.

I came across one of your books when I was locked up doing some time for a crime I didn’t commit, like the other 99.9% of the guys in there 🤣 . No, I did the crime and all that I wanted to do was my time and to get out to start my life, crime-free. My first cellmate only had a few months to go before he was to be released, so I figured there was no need for me to get to know him. We didn’t talk much he was always reading and I was trying my best to not look scared and fit in. A few weeks before he was to be released he asked me if I knew how to read. I thought he was joking at first, so I
LOL and said, of course I know how to read. It turns out he didn’t know how to read and was trying to teach himself with one of your books. He asked me if I would read to him at night and he in return would leave me all of his belongings, when he gets out. This man was in for 5yrs and in those 5yrs he had quite a few items that were hard to come across, so I said yes and started reading to him every night after the lights went out. Apex predator book #1 was the first book that I read to him. He had the series to Apex predator up to book #4 and was waiting for book#5 to be released. I read books 1-4 to him and unfortunately he was released and we never got to read book#5 together. We became good friends in the few weeks leading up to his release date and I was sad to see him go but at the same time happy for him. He was true to his word and the day he left he gave me everything he owned. A few weeks went by and one day in my mail was book #5! My time was slow but I eventually got out and my last day there I gave all of my belongings to my new cell mate. When I told him he could have all of my stuff but under one condition, that when he was to be released he had to give his new cell mate the 5 books to Apex predator. Your books helped me out in a time of my life when I was at my lowest. I hope by me giving your books to that young man, that they help him out, as they did for me and that he gives them to his next cell mate and so on and so on. Now that I’ve been out I’ve read all of your other books and I’m hooked!
Thank you for writing such amazing books and when is book #6 to Apex predator series coming out? I can’t wait.

I have an idea for the Wild Hunt series. I think that since there are now international operators recruited for the wild hunt, you should do spin offs on some of their teams, like the British, Japanese, and Norwegians. Since Curse of the Wendigo mentioned that many of these countries have their own cryptid teams, it would be cool to expand on the team and the operators prior to their recruitment to the wild hunt. You could explain why the Spanish soldier, Sergeant Mateo Lopez is nicknamed “Gato Negro”, or “Black Cat”. You could explain the mysteriousness behind Noah Davidson. I just think it would be cool to see all these foreign soldiers on their respective monster hunting teams before the Wild Hunt, and it could flush them out more. Also, you could have them go up against some awesome creatures from their mythology, like the Japanese could fight Tengus, and even Kaijus; For Norway you could have them fight trolls and other monsters from Norse mythology; For the British you could have them fight dragons, vampires, ghouls. It’s a long pitch, but what do you think?

I have an idea for the Wild Hunt series. In Curse of the Wendigo it was mentioned that there were teams around the world that investigated and eliminated cryptids the same as the Wild Hunt. How about, for spin offs, you could write about these teams as well as the operators who were selected to join the Wild Hunt. For example, one book you could write about the Japanese team and tell it from the perspective of Ken Nakamura, who was mentioned in Blood Eagle but not really talked about or shown, and you could do the same for the Norwegian team, and tell it from the perspective of Kaptein Oystein Mork, whose callsign was Claymore. For the British team, you could tell that story from the perspective of Noah Davidson and flush out his story more as you had written that there was something mysterious about him. You could even explain how Spain’s representative, Sergeant Mateo Lopez got his nickname “Gato Negro”, as it means “Black Cat”. I personally think that these spin offs could explore and flush out the international group better and show why their respective countries selected them to join the Wild Hunt. I also feel like since Operation Blood Eagle talked about how some of the monsters were not just cryptids but creatures straight out of folklore, you could include some awesome monsters and threats from say Norse mythology and Japanese folklore, as well as creatures like dragons, vampires, etc. What do you think?
