I think mine might be a bit boring but you are
welcome to use it if you want.

what inspired you?
My father bought me a book about Loch Ness after
seeing something in the newspaper. Then I went to Loch Ness in the late sixties
and early seventies as a teenager. After that I was hooked. I went regularly to
the Loch met the likes of Tim Dinsdale, Robert Rines and Frank Searle. I
once gave up my job and lived up there for 2 years . I had two sightings in 40
years but what they were ,whether they were a real animal or an illusion caused
by the place itself I couldn’t say. I also went to Canada hunting the
Sasquatch (bigfoot) and various other places over the years looking for
cryptids. My last visit to Loch Ness was in 2005 before I got ill. I am inspired
by being a seeker for the truth and by the persistent of sightings, and
the courage of other cryptozoologists ,who keep going in the face of opinion and
being derided for their beliefs. I think most academics, even retired ones, like
to research and something unusual is exciting
what are your aims?
Unfortunately I am now house bound due to ill health but
I have a website :http://cryptozoo-oscity.blogspot.co.uk/
where I post news and discoveries and sometimes write posts about different
cryptids hoping to that it helps a younger generation get an interest. I also
write novels about cryptids and a bit of magic and mystery and horror
thrown in. CFZ have published the first two. Dark Ness and Dark Wear. Again I
hope it may spark interest and people may want to research and go look for
themselves. If I get one person interested enough to spend the next 30 or
40 years looking for cryptids I would die a happy woman.
what plans do you have for the
future?
I keep writing more novels and posting on the blog
.It gets harder as my health deteriorates. I did manage to get a bit of
research done on the Galloway Puma and got someone to give me the photo
they had of a large footprint that got posted on CFZ blog . I would like to try
and do a non fiction book about cryptozoology as I have amassed quite a bit of
information over the years. If something I write or post inspires someone else
to start looking,then the future of cryptozoology is secure and that is all I
wish for as I slide towards the grave. I will probably haunt all those who
derided cryptozoology so you have been warned
