Welcome. This site is for you the reader. Strap your boots on, grab your imagination, and prepare to discover the conspiracy within your own mind. I believe there is something inherent in human nature that blinds us to certain truths. And so my stories are written to expose this oldest and darkest of conspiracies, or at least to take you on one hell of an adventure. To get you started on your journey you might choose to learn about Thomas Jefferson's secret confession, or whether there really is evidence of Sasquatch in the fossil record, or listen to an actual Bigfoot recording. And don't forget to claim your copy of Cryptid today, my debut novel. Enjoy the hunt, and thank you for your support. -Eric Penz New from Eric Penz 
Uncover the secret evidence of Sasquatch within Lewis & Clark's lost journals in Eric Penz's Cryptid, a cryptofiction award-winning novel. Two centuries in the making, Cryptid is the final chapter of the Lewis & Clark story. As with any good tale, the best secrets have been kept until the end. "What a gas! Penz is a first-rate story weaver." --Gayle Borchard, Independent Books, Inc. "A rollicking romp of an adventure novel. Hard to characterize, impossible to put down!" --Susan R. Matthews, author of Warring States Named to Loren Coleman's Top Cryptofiction Books of 2005 on Cryptomundo.com May 1, 2007 Did you catch Eric's first Book Club selection? Well, if so, don't miss his next. The Jury Master, by Robert Dugoni, has brought the thrill back to legal thrillers. See the Book Club tab for details and deadline for submitting your own review. You can also read Eric's recently posted review of The Loch. Loads of new content has recently been added to the site, in fact. For starters, Eric has posted a new Adventure Log entry for those of you who have wondered what happens at those Sasquatch conventions. Better yet, a new documentary has been released documenting the 2005 Texas Bigfoot Conference, the biggest and baddest of them all. To obtain a copy of Eyes in the Dark visit http://home.bellsouth.net/p/PWP-bigfooteyes. You'll get to hear from some of the experts in attendance, including Eric discussing Cryptid and his own personal views on what he believes about the existence of Sasquatch. Also, check out the new articles posted here on the home page. You'll find articles on the craft of writing fiction, cryptofiction, and Lewis & Clark. And for an update on Eric's latest project, his Secret Combinations trilogy, a new tab has been added to Novel in Progress. Watch his next book develop from the inside out.

July 28, 2006 Due to reader demand and a deeper commitment by my publisher, I am excited to announce the release of the second edition of Cryptid as part of iUniverse's Star imprint. The Star imprint is reserved for those titles the publisher believes have a strong market potential and meet the highest editorial standards. For these titles only, iUniverse offers deeper discounts for the trade paperback editions as well as makes them fully returnable.
