About the Book

Welcome to the Weird Wild West! Matthew Sandstrom is a Government Land Office agent in Chaos, Arizona Territory ca. 1900. When family of homesteaders go missing, and a trading post that serves a mysterious tribe known as the Su'mok is abandoned, he investigates these baffling mysteries. The wife of the trader at the post is found wandering in a nearly catatonic state, and her husband has completely disappeared. What is happening in the territory around Chaos? Sandstrom is uncovers their dark nature. He begins to realize these events are not mere coincidences. Something truly terrifying is loose in the land. After discovering that an ancient terror has been unleashed he enlists aid in his fight against unknown powers. Sandstrom, his Indian allies, and his friend Mose Broadaxe, challenge them for control of humanity's future on earth. Set in the southwest at the end of the most famous era in American history, the Old West, the story engages the reader in a historically sound adventure that also incorporates the eldritch charm of Lovecraft with local primal lore and legend. This is the first book in a series that take place in the spectral, dying, mining town of Chaos, Arizona Territory.
About the Author: Born in Elgin, Illinois as a life-long Cubs fan I know how to write of despair, terror and sadness. The move to Arizona in the mid-sixties allowed me to become a confirmed desert dweller of the first rank. Trained at the University of Arizona as an archaeologist and educator I also am a self-taught raconteur. Despite the many rewards I have garnered, both physically and spiritually, from these disparate professions I have always said that one day, when I grow up I would like to become a writer. Recently I've decided that I don't want to wait that long so I've entered the ranks of the published. I no longer work as a teacher (after 32 years) or an archaeologist (I started in 1972) though I remain vitally interested in both professions and each has contributed greatly to my writing. I love to tell stories whenever anyone wants to listen or the spirit comes upon me. I have performed several times at Tucson Meet Yourself, Tucson Festival of Books and at various schools and libraries across Arizona. I am a member in reasonably good standing of Tucson Tellers of Tales, a professional storytelling organization that you may find more information about on Facebook. Married for over forty years to the same incredibly patient woman, Susan, we have four daughters and currently spend much of our time herding seven grandchildren. "Chaos Territory" is the first book in a series based on several Lovecraft inspired short stories I wrote while in college. It is intended for adult readers due to language and situations. I have completed three more books in the series and they are also available on Amazon. I am also at work on the first book of another series of mysteries set in prehistoric Arizona and a novel about archaeology called "Bits of Sky". My first children's book is due for release next year (2019) from Small Tooth Dog publishers. The working title is "Wood rat and Coyote" Watch for it! A critical issue for me is finding some way to preserve the stories that I tell, at least those of mine that are personal ones and several that I have created for children. Because of that I have recently started uploading on YouTube some of my storytelling from venues like the Tucson Festival of Books and Tucson Meet Yourself. Thus shortens my story . . .
