This book is the fictional story of one mans journey from agnostic concerning unusual phenomena into the realm of belief in the existence of the Big Foot in the swamps of West Florida.

WE ARE ADELHEID We all knew this day was possible. Most of us hoped that it wouldn't happen, that it would just remain in the realm of "maybe" forever...but that hope is gone. It's happened. After years of holding back the tide of hate, somewhere a tiny break has formed in our dam and it looks more possible than ever that Cameron's Law will be ripped away from us.

That fanged or furry, we still have humanity in our soul and deserve the right... ...to live. Even those of us that don't. (Author's Note: This story was originally released as "Ashes" by Mia Darien.

The first settlers began arriving in the Wilmington region in the early 1800s. Less than a decade later, in 1810, Wilmington was chosen as the county seat for the newly formed Clinton County. Although the area has long been known for its agricultural productivity, Wilmington's rich and diverse history includes a territorial governor and Civil War general, a world-renowned sculptor, a musician who performed for years on the Delta Queen, and a Major League Baseball club owner. Wilmington has also been home to several Underground Railroad stops, a Quaker college, an experimental World War II glider base, and a cold war missile site. Twice named one of the "Best Small Towns in America," Wilmington continues to delight visitors with its stately historic buildings and its small-town charm.
