Eo's Realm
What if you could be inside the mind of a sasquatch and learn about their daily life? Nate Cliffhagan, a seventeen-year-old human, is falsely accused of murdering his abusive father by a vengeful cop determined to pin the crime on the boy. Nate flees deep into the Olympic National Forest to elude capture. There, Eo, a sasquatch, saves Nate’s life. In the process, they learn to communicate with one another. Nate becomes desperate when he realizes he’s running out of food and doesn’t have the skills to survive on his own in the wild. He decides to return to civilization to resupply. Curiosity overcomes Eo and she tracks Nate, only for both to be captured by the cop, who intends to monetize Eo and send Nate to prison for life at any cost. What happens when a human actually captures a sasquatch? Will sasquatch myth become sasquatch proof?

About the author
Dan Purkey
8 books3 followersDan Purkey is the President of The Open Door Group, a firm that specializes in helping management move entire organizations to achieve results not thought possible. Dan accomplishes this through speaking engagements, his management books, novels, coaching, and consulting. The foundation for his success is found in teaching organizations and people about effective communication. He has 30+ years of experience in business working at the executive level in Operations and HR with and for companies as large as Fortune 50 and as small as 15 employees.
He’s seen it all and fixed most of it. He has a somewhat unique combination of sales, operations, HR, and regulatory experience, with a focus on organizational operations—those inter- and intra-departmental, customer, employee, and vendor processes that easily get gummed up and act as a drain on profitability without management even knowing, since it just appears as “business as usual.”
Dan is a resident of Kent, WA and has lived more than half his life in the Seattle area. He has a BA in Education from the University of Washington and a Masters degree in Business Organizational Leadership from City University of Seattle. He also is a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt.
He’s published the futuristic detective novel Trackers that involves a global conspiracy in which a cabal has implanted cell-sized tracking devices in everyone on earth without their knowledge. Consequently, the cabal knows where anyone is at any time. They control everything, taking out political enemies at their discretion. A bicycle-riding detective uncovers the scheme in the course of a missing-person investigation and is dragged into a web of intrigue by an underground resistance determined to destroy the cabal. https://www.amazon.com/Trackers-Dan-P...
He's currently working on his next novel The Realm of Squatch about the life of a sasquatch in the Pacific Northwest who interacts with a late-teens boy accused of murder who is hiding from the law in the Olympic National Park. The sasquatch gets captured in the process and the boy works to free her. Look for publication sometime 2Q23.
Purkey is also the author of Uncommon Sense Management, a management book that helps managers turn theory into practice to drive smoother and better results. https://www.amazon.com/Uncommon-Sense...
His latest book, It’s Not That Hard. Just Do This. is a #1 Amazon Best Seller and highlights specific, foundational effective communication tools anyone can use to eliminate miscommunication, misunderstandings, arguments, and stress from people’s lives. When applied in a business, it creates improved employee engagement, retention, productivity, and profitability. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BCNXL6NQ?...
Dan’s been married over 40 years to his wife Terrie (who runs a fabulous book blogging site called Bookshelf Journeys https://www.bookshelfjourneys.com/). They have two sons, both of whom reside in the Seattle area. For recreation, Purkey brews beer, plays Disc (please don't call it Frisbee) Golf, ping pong, chess, and competitive games of all sorts.

I found this story delightful, entertaining, and very readable. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the lives of sasquatches, from what they eat to where they sleep and even their view of the world. (hint: no aliens are involved!) Eo is fabulous - full of curiosity, a bit of a rebel, but a very caring, sensitive character. Set in Washington state's Olympic National Forest, the forest is almost its own minor character.
The human characters of Nate, a teenage boy, and the terrible small town sheriff are also well drawn and their interactions with Eo drives much of the story. The secondary officers provide a well-rounded societal view of sasquatches, police ethics, and even a Native (Quinault) view of the situation.
This book can be considered YA and would be of interest to a wide range of readers. Several societal issues are explored but mostly it's just a strong story about relationships and an unexpected friendship.
