Monster Hunting: Who's the goodest boy in the paranormal world? 🐶

WHAT ARE WE DISCOVERING THIS MONTH?

  1. I’m relaunching my books!

  2. The Michigan Dogman. Is he real? Is he a good boy? (The answer to that last one is yes because all dogs are good puppers.)

  3. The scavenger hunt is on!

alien writing and thinking with the words, "Writing News" Update from fantasy author Patricia J.L.

Last year, I unpublished all my books. It was a bold and crazy move, but I was struggling with what I wanted out of my writing, and having them available was a distraction. Basically, I was trying to get my shit together. Not sure I have, but I figured enough out to feel confident that I have a plan and almost know what I’m doing.

The Michigan Dogman. Have you heard of him? He’s not quite as well known as Bigfoot or Nessie, but he is a cryptid who has been roaming Michigan for some time now. The first official sighting of this monster was in Wexford County, MI in 1887. Two lumberjacks said they saw a bipedal creature with a dog’s head.

The Michigan Dogman is a paranormal creature after my own heart in that he likes the number 7 and appears in 7-year cycles. That means we won’t be due to see him until 2027. Way to make a girl wait! My landlord doesn’t allow dogs so I have to get my fix other ways.

You will mostly find the Michigan Dogman in the upper part of lower Michigan. (Note, this is NOT the UP. Upper Lower Michigan is sometimes referred to as upper Michigan and seems to forget there is an entire peninsula that is part of Michigan and is the true upper Michigan.)

If you want to read more about the Michigan Dogman, LINDA S. GODFREY has the go-to books on the subject. She sadly passed away recently.

I hope you enjoyed learning about the Michigan Dogman. Let me know if he is a new cryptid to you or not.

ARE THERE ANY DOGMEN WHERE YOU LIVE?

Let’s chat about it in the comments, and maybe I’ll have a new monster to highlight in a future newsletter. Until next time, stay spooked.
