| - Dallas Tanner (born 1956), is the author of novels in the genre of thrillers and action/adventure. The Cryptids Trilogy consists of the bestselling and critically-acclaimed volume Shadow of the Thunderbird, Track of the Bigfoot and Wake of the Lake Monster. He has also written a nine-part, serialized novella, "Chupacabra". Noted for his meticulous historical and scientific research, his books have been used at the collegiate level to instruct on science and history, as well as in critical reading and creative writing courses for their interwoven plot and storyline elements. Dallas is also well-known as an armchair enthusiast in subjects of the paranormal, especially cryptozoology. As a lecturer, author and radio show host, he has befriended many of the notable experts in the field. His first three novels are all dubbed cryptofiction, stories based on animals considered out of place or time, whose existence has yet to be proved. He spends anywhere from 6 months to 3 years researching his subject matter beforehand, often exploring the places he will write about, and calling on scientists and professors for the feasibility of his ideas. Along with his characters, he seeks to determine the origin and species of beasts in Native legend, historical records and eyewitness accounts that would explain the mystery of their continued sightings. At various times, Tanner also worked as a singer-songwriter and cartoonist. His concept for a Farside take on Noah's Ark was picked up by a nationally syndicated publisher, adapted by a famous cartoonist and appears in many newspapers around the country. During his days as a musician, he performed regularly in concerts and on television, doing demo work which caught the attention of large publising houses and record companies. After meeting his future bride, he decided to settle down, returning to school to get a degree in the electronic commerce field in which he works and supports his family today. As life imitates art, he has recently been approached by agents for publication of his work, formed a publishing house to produce the work of others, and been offered the opportunity of becoming a professor at a local college.
