Wooooooo! Better put me down for a copy, Mike, this will be a good read! Congratulations to both you and Ruby for getting this to print - it's a long and arduous journey to get anything published, so

Can't wait to get it onto my bedside table for evening reading! It looks awesome!

Kind regards,
Shazz

Congratulations Mike... looks awesome!

Excellent cover Mike can't wait to grab a copy , my wife hails from Lithgow and she and her relatives have serveral Panther stories / sightings mainly from the Nuens area it is an intriguing topic .


MY FINAL DECISION IS MAYBE ...............

Congrats to you both on getting the book to this point.
I have a mate who has been involved with researching and writing a book over a number of years, so I know how much time and effort you've had to put in to get this far.
As my interest in crypto stuff started with big cats I'll definatly be getting a copy for my library.
Can you give us a "heads up" on this site with details of where to get a copy when it is available?

Lol...You would have to restrain me with chains for me to not mention it here.

Yes please Mike, ill have a copy, looking forward to a good read

Mike i want 2 copies please

hey Mike, brilliant work. can't wait to get a copy. congrats

On page 74, speaking of the description that Myles & Bert saw has reminded me of something i saw in Lebanon 16yrs ago

It was called a "dubbeh"... apparently they had a history of coming in to the villages & taking children...

It was a myth because it was apparently extinct.. but one day my BF at the time took me into the mountains & showed me one theyd shot, it was around 80kgs & had cat like paws but a wolf head, a long wold head not a short one, ie long snout & huge huge fangs... it almost looked like a hyenah , i have heard people call them hyenahs over there too but not sure what i saw, i dont think it was a hyenah!!
Any one heard of the dubbeh? If not, than Mike maybe you may be able to ask one of your sources if you have any thats done any work over there?

I know that at night i heard the crazy evil laughter thing hyenas do, & i asked my grandma what it was & she said the 'dubbeh.. it was like 50 of them all 'laughing' at once just like hyenas do but more human sounding

Sorry guys disregard, should have researched it properly first.. just finding out now from my cousin apparently they do have hyenas & more likely than not it was a shot hyena... do hyenas grow to that big though?

Thanks Horserider.
