Bigfoot Blues Kindle Edition

Welcome to VD's Bar! The beer's cold, the wings are lukewarm, and everybody's on the lookout for the Big Guy--and we ain't talking 'bout Elvis.

Samantha is a young woman looking for a sign. Born and raised in the heart of Bigfoot Country, she learned the ins and outs of hunting for the Big Guy at her father's knee, driving the backroads in an old Humboldt Creamery truck fitted with a giant cage and an unshakable belief in things unseen. Sometimes, though, faith alone isn't enough. Sam struggles with the need to experience more in life than Bigfoot hunts and the rundown waterfront bar she runs in her father's stead. Things reach critical mass when a handsome young journalist arrives in town and sweeps Sam off her feet, forcing her to face her choices head-on in the process. Can she find her own faith in a creature most call mythical? Or is she better served cutting ties entirely with the traditions of her youth... along with everyone and everything that goes with them?

With her signature poetic style, Pamela Foster paints the landscapes of California Redwood Country so vividly, you'll swear you can feel the cold whisper of the mist on your skin as you rollick through the wilderness with Samantha and her tribe. Humorous as it is poignant, Bigfoot Blues delivers a delightfully quirky look into one woman's journey down the indistinct trails of identity, faith, self-understanding, and the unquenchable human drive for something more.

Review

Bigfoot Blues deserves a screenplay! I literally could not put the book down. Character development is exquisite, the description vivid, and the imagery impeccable. --Joe Filgas, Cafe Nooner Bigfoot Blues is wonderully written from a woman's point of view. The characters are well developed and the story line is consistently entertaining. Pamela has created Samantha as a strong, independent and sensual woman. Pamela is the Danielle Steele of Bigfoot authors. --Sharonlee, The Bigfoot Field Reporter

About the Author

Pamela Foster is a speaker and writer. Bigfoot Blues is her second published novel. Originally from behind the redwood curtain in Humboldt County, California, the author now lives in NW Arkansas with her husband and his retired service dog, Chesty. While she loves living in the Ozarks, the smell of rain on redwood mulch still brings tears of nostalgia to her eyes. While Pamela has tried to stay true to the spirit of Humboldt and Trinity County in this novel, it is in no way meant as a guide or map to Bigfoot Country. In the interest of the story line, she has moved entire mountains, changed the course of rivers and misplaced whole blocks in the Eureka. Any reader attempting to encounter Bigfoot using this novel as a guide is apt to end up hopelessly lost in the rainforest of the Pacific Northwest.

Twenty-one years ago Pamela Foster married her hero. The author’s husband is a disabled Marine, a veteran of Vietnam, a man who would walk through fire for her without ever acknowledging that he ignited the flames. She’s lived in the redwoods of the Pacific Northwest, on the side of a volcano in Hawaii, in the Yucatan beside the Caribbean Sea, the stark desert of southern Arizona, the jungle of Panama, and now lives in the Ozarks of Arkansas. Foster is the author of novels Redneck Goddess and Bigfoot Blues, as well as Clueless Gringos in Paradise, the non-fiction account of her move to Panama with her husband, two suitcases and two giant service dogs.

To arrange for the author to speak about loving and living with a warrior with PTSD, or to share the story of how service dogs bring veterans home from war, contact her at the email address below.

5.0 out of 5 stars Much more than Bigfoot
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2013

There's a kind of magic in Bigfoot Blues, but it doesn't belong to the monster here. It's in how the author paints such a rich picture, populated with very human (and quirky) characters. Opening the cover alone constituted my surrendering to its offbeat spell. So breathe deep. In terms of style alone Bigfoot Blues is intoxicating; add an unassuming plot that's unexpectedly and compellingly real, and you have a one-of-a-kind, unforgettable reading experience.

I loved the main character and the book moved quickly. The setting is in northern California and the book is very plausible. It's one of the best written novels on the subject of Bigfoot. The characters have clear voices. The ending is a surprise.
I don't want to give anything away.

5.0 out of 5 stars You Won't Want To Put It Down!
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2014
"Bigfoot Blues" is the story of Samantha, the daughter of a crusty lifelong "Bigfooter", who was raised in the neighborhood Bar chock full of numerous colorful locals, and who finds herself on the adventure of a lifetime during which she also unearths her authentic self and the key to love and happiness. I was hooked from chapter one, and kicked myself for starting it right before I had to head out for the evening! But once home I barely put it down until I finished it a day and a half later. I can also say that it was high-jacked off my nightstand by a non-Bigfooter who read it all in less than a day, and who loved every second of it, so it's allure is definitely not confined to just the Bigfooting crowd.

The only thing I could possibly find fault with, and this is only because I am a Bigfoot researcher myself and well versed in the historical facts of the topic, were the several occasions when the "Patterson Film" shot at Bluff Creek in 1967 was referred to as a video or a tape. Video technology was in it's infancy in 1967 and was not yet available to the public, and in fact it is the mystery of where exactly Roger Patterson had his film developed that has caused much confusion and controversy as to its authenticity over the years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Hit from Pamela Foster!
Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2013
Samantha Foster has spent her whole life amidst Bigfoot believers. It wasn't always easy, what with growing up in a bar, motherless, but with a doting father, and with a group of friends - mostly male - that lived to share Bigfoot stories. Turns out, being a woman isn't that much easier when you're seeing an Indian who easily believes in the hairy being, yet not in the finer things - like commitment.

Life for Sam, and the community, will take a sudden turn, though, the day an outsider steps through the door of VD's bar. Mark Neilsen, a man with a desire to put a fresh spin on Bigfoot, arrives ready to become a famous writer. This good-looking city slicker will, unknowingly, set the wheels in motion for new relationships, open minds, and the biggest find of the century.

Bigfoot Blues is another fantastic novel by Pamela Foster. This author is truly adept at writing characters you know, setting scenes that one could see right outside their window and creating a storyline that feels as natural to the reader as breathing. More than just a tall tale, Bigfoot Blues is about relationships. An excellent drama, but watch the language.

5.0 out of 5 stars For a Good Time Go to Humboldt County
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2013
All I can say after reading Bigfoot Blues, by Pamela Foster, is: I want to go there! Humboldt County sounds like a yee-haw place, beautiful yet in many ways unfriendly. The weather seems to always be a problem, a little on the nasty side at times, but the people don't seem to be bothered by it and have a darn good time, whether they are looking for Bigfoot, or having a fun night at the local bar. The characters are so interesting you want them for friends. Sam and her entourage of good old boy buddies, manage to do some good while they're raising a little hell. It all boils down to the pursuit of Bigfoot, proof that he does exhist, and that love does not always conquer all. This is a fun read and the writing is excellent. I highly recommend it if you're looking for something full of life and fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars prespective from a Humboldt native.
Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2013
As a native of Humboldt county this brings me back home as I currently live in the high desert of Nevada and only get home once a year. You can get lost walking a 100 ft off the road into the redwood and you just know bigfoot is watching you in thee. I actually have a cast of a big foot print I found in the hills above Eureka in 1992, most of us Humboldt natives know bigfoot is real, lol but there are plenty of humans shaggy enough to be bigfoot in Humboldt, the people here are unique, uniquely Humboldt in their nature, if you have never been in Humboldt this book may be lost on you at times but growing up in Humboldt this book is a trip back home for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars A bar, a babe, and a Bigfoot--but not what you'd expect in any case
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2013
We too often fail to see the love and joy that surrounds us. Pam Foster's book, Bigfoot Blues, explores this truth in a story about one woman's search to understand the meaning of her life and her place in it. The book takes us on a wild romp through the ancient forests of northern California. We run with an array of shaggy creatures, some of them not even human, led along the way by Samantha Jean, a pistol-packing, redneck woman with a stubborn streak a country mile wide. By the end, you'll believe in the adventure--and possibly in Sasquatch, too.  A Draft of Moonlight

5.0 out of 5 stars More Than Just Another Mountain Myth
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2013
Samantha runs this backwoods bar with a regular good-ole-boy clientele. When they want to play a joke on a newbie tenderfoot looking for Bigfoot, she goes along with it. Within a few pages Pam Foster has you so tied up with these characters, and so involved with a surprisingly insecure Samantha, you can't let go. Of course things go wrong and what was a good story for the tourists suddenly becomes frighteningly real.
