| From growing up in a Canadian Mountie household to writing Hollywood screenplays, debut short story writer Rick Butler has mined his real-life experiences for THE MOUNTIE IN THE HOUSE AND OTHER STORIES.
"These are lively, insightful and highly entertaining stories from a very fine writer with talent to burn," says Leo Furey, author of The Long Run. "Prime reading for lovers of vivid, fast-paced fiction."
Among the 14 quirky, often-humorous tales, a seven-year-old boy watches his Mountie father pursue justice in their small town. A Venice Beach murder victim pursues her killer from the other side. An escaped convict and a young screenwriter light out for old Mexico in pursuit of a hit movie. A disgruntled wedding guest disrupts a million dollar ceremony. A visiting student falls in with a rollicking cast of eccentrics in Brighton, UK. A screenwriter teams with Michael Jackson to pitch a movie plot to the biggest studios...
"Rick Butler's short story collection is the ideal travel companion," says Chip Conley, author of Emotional Equations and Peak.
