In Don’t Fence Me In, Mitch Carter and his imaginary horse Boscoe face down the evil Dan Kinkaid in little one-horse towns called Gunshot, or Abaloney, or Mesquite, dreaming up great adventures —until Mitch’s old friend Effie comes a-knockin’. In Boscoe’s opinion, Mitch never should have opened that door.
The Pretzel Maker, originally broadcast live from a tea dance at the Palliser Hotel, shows the unintended consequences that occur when Cornelia the Wish Therapist reads the leaves at the bottom of the obsessively shy Eric’s teacup. Unstoppable metamorphosis and a relentless desire for revenge are triggered while Cornelia struggles to get a grip.
Love and War Western Style follows the course of true love in the west, and it’s a bumpy ride. Leo and Vinnie are a match made in heaven, if only he’d stop running her over with the tractor. Beryl spurns all her suitors and takes up chicken farming, but tricky Clyde has no intentions of staying spurned. And the wooing of Hallie Bedford makes Machiavelli look like a grade schooler.
A pleasure to read and a joy to perform, Love and War Western Style follows in the rich Canadian radio tradition of Stuart MacLean, Thomas King, and W.O. Mitchell.
