For the purpose of catching up and hopping on, here’s Chapters One through Eight in ebook and audiobook format.
Grantham, a silver boomtown is ripped from Eastern Arizona in 1883 and deposited in a strange land of cruel empires, unspeakable magics and fearsome creatures. This uniquely American take on the Fantasy, Western and Speculative Fiction genres pits the American Mythos of the Old West against more traditional Fantasy tropes, characters and conventions, an epic fantasy of Sword and Sorcery and gunslinger
Virgil Miller — a former solider turned shopkeeper who, being separated from his family, will stop at nothing to be reunited with them.
Laura Miller — Trapped in Grantham with her two children, struggling to protect the family store and thrive in the strange new world.
John Dance — Criminal who has been hiding out as Grantham’s Sheriff
Jean DuMont — paranoid, consumptive mine owner who fights to maintain control of Grantham
Goyaate — War Chief of a fearsome band of Apache who have escaped a military reservation to find themselves with a savage new plain to raid.
Archimedes Croryton — unwanted nobility who has fled to the West to put his genius for engineering to work.
Jane Siskin — Queen of the Teamsters, who keeps the cargo moving with her whip and her will.
And many more. Will the townspeople band together in the face of strange new enemies and even stranger new friends, or will they truly be lost in A Town Called Nowhere?
