Hunters — A.M. Burns

The Woodmen Chronicles: Book One

Bigfoot hunters prowl the forests of Cripple Creek, Colorado. That doesn't sit well with Thom Woodmen -- a Bigfoot -- albeit the runt of his family. Being the smallest has advantages; Thom, in disguise, gets to attend high school, and he's not expected to accomplish much in life. All that changes when he comes across a distressed human in the forest.

Ben Steele is new to Cripple Creek High School, and after a harrowing experience in the woods near his new home, he quickly falls in with Thom Woodmen and his circle of friends. So what if they like to hang out with nature? Ben's got nothing better to do. Trouble is, Ben can't seem to stay out of it -- trouble, that is.

However, in saving young Ben's life, Thom inadvertently kick-starts a bonding process that'll change both their lives forever. With the support of family and friends, Thom learns to accept bonding with the human boy. But with the danger overrunning Cripple Creek lately, Thom may be cut down before he can confess his secret and his love.
