The dense, mist-cloaked forests of South Central Kentucky were not always silent. Long before the land bore the marks of human hands, before barns and fields carved order into the wilderness, the trees whispered of an old bloodline—one that walked between worlds. A bloodline that did not fit neatly into legend or biology. It was here, in the tangled roots of time and folklore, that the first of the line emerged. A child born of the unlikeliest union, an impossible creation that could only be explained by the sheer force of will, nature, and something else—something that defied the limits of human knowing.

The Mother: Keeper of the Wild and the Whispering Woods

No one knew her name, and those who did forgot it the moment they tried to speak it aloud. She was a woman of the earth, not bound by fences or the weight of a world that counted time in money and regret. Her hair was as wild as the wind, which she was, through the treetops, dark as the river in the dead of night, and her eyes held the steady patience of someone who had seen civilizations rise and fall without ever setting foot inside them.

She was not fully human, nor fully Sasquatch. She was something in between—a creature of instinct and intellect, of strength and subtlety. Her body carried the grace of something born to move through the wild without disturbing a single leaf, yet she did. Her hands, strong and calloused from the labor of life, could carve a home from the hollows of trees and raise a child to survive in both the untouched and the touched world.

She did not belong to any time, though she breezed through all of them, leaving only the faintest trace. Some claimed she was a guardian of the old ways, a bridge between the seen and the unseen. Others whispered she had simply chosen her life, leaving behind the distractions of human existence to find something more—something real. And in doing so, she found him.

The Father: The Sasquatch Who Did Not Stay Hidden

He was not like the others. Where his kin chose secrecy, he was drawn to the edges of human life, lingering in the quiet spaces where the two worlds brushed against each other. He had seen men with their machines, their weapons, their blind need to tame what was never meant to be controlled. Yet he did not fear them. He watched them with a curiosity that made him different—an outlier among outliers.

He was power and presence, standing taller than any man, shoulders broad enough to carry the weight of the stories he never spoke aloud. His hair was thick, the color of ancient bark, and his eyes held the gleam of intelligence far beyond what the myths dared to credit his kind. He was strength, but he was not brute force. He understood the rhythm of the world, how to read the wind, how to listen instead of merely hearing.

And when he found her—this woman who belonged to no one and nothing—he did not try to claim her. He did not need to. They simply recognized each other.

The Child: The Sasquatch Boy Who Would Become the Author Known

When he was born, the trees stood still. The winds did not move. Even the birds, those messengers of the shifting world, held their breath. It was not that he was unnatural—it was that he was new.

He was both and neither. He carried his mother’s sharp mind, her ability to weave through both silence and speech with equal precision. He carried his father’s strength, his deep connection to the land and the unshakable presence of something that could not be broken by mere circumstance.

The boy was meant for something greater than either of his parents could explain. He was not just the next step in their story; he was a story in himself, one that refused to be written by anyone but him.

His mother taught him the ways of the unseen—the understanding of what exists between the lines of reality, where the truths no one speaks aloud are hidden. His father taught him the weight of the physical world—the importance of standing firm, of knowing that power is not in how loudly one roars, but in the steadiness of one’s stance.

As he grew, he wrestled with both halves of himself. The human world was fascinating, full of puzzles and contradictions, yet it often felt small, too limited for the vastness that lived inside him. The wild called to him, yet it could not hold him fully. He was meant to bridge, to move between, to build what had never existed before.

And so, he did. The sasquatch boy who would become the Author Known, or so they thought.

The Evolution into Author Known

He wandered. He observed. He listened. He tested the boundaries of existence—pushing into the world of men, slipping back into the silence of the woods when it became too much. He learned the languages of both worlds, the unspoken rules of survival in each. He became the craftsman of connection, the eternal bridge between what was real and what was hidden in plain sight.

He understood humor as the ultimate rebellion, a weapon sharper than any blade. He saw the absurdity of human life and chose not to be weighed down by it, but to play with it, to turn it inside out and make people see it in a new way. He learned the art of storytelling—not as entertainment, but as a pathway, a means to keep the ancient ways alive while forging something entirely new.

The name Author Known did not come from him. It was given, passed through whispers and knowing glances, an acknowledgment of what he had become. He was the one who wrote his own legend while living it. The one who refused to be confined to either world but instead created his own.

And still, deep in the Kentucky hills, in the shadows of the trees that remember everything, his mother watches. She does not interfere. She does not call him back. She simply knows—as she has always known—that her son was never meant to stay in one place.

He was meant to move. To build. To become.

And so he does.
