His research, combined with rumors surrounding a recent discovery, were not only credible, but go far in identify-ing the species of Loch Ness’s famous inhabitant. Then, after concluding the first edit on the manuscript, I was confronted with a new theory from a cryptozoologist and fan of my MEG series who had spent years investigating the Loch. When I began the task of researching this novel, I found it imperative to separate the legend of the Loch Ness monster from the body of real science. But does a creature really inhabit its depths?
