In My Good Books
Tuesday March 23rd, 2021 with Pat Moore
all about books - I'm going to read to you 2 short stories by John Moore - if you've ever thought you'd love to live in rural Ontario, you'll love these two short stories - by my brother, John Moore. Followed by an interview with author CJ Butler

Hi all! Today I’ve got some wonderful short stories for you written by my brother John Moore, and produced for radio by me. John and his partner Micheline moved to a very rural acreage back in the late 70’s, maybe early 80’s, and have been there ever since. They cleared the land, and built a homesteader’s paradise with their own two hands. As a close family, I’m lucky that over the years I have benefited from visits to their log home, walked on forested trails, swam in the lake or damn, and beam with pride over their accomplishments. John has an eloquent way of expressing his fascination and appreciation of the little but important things in life, and is an inspiring storyteller, so I encouraged him to write a book of short stories. I hope these stories I’m going to present to you today will be among the collection that will one day be wrapped in a cover, perhaps illustrated by my artist sister Mary. For now, enjoy them in audio. I will tell two pretty short stories by John Moore today, followed by a bit of music, and an interview with the wonderful CJ Butler who moved to Canada – Kemptville eventually, from England, and here is pursuing her dream of writing novels. You'll enjoy hearing about making the dream of becoming a writer come true, her process, the characters and a tempting bit about the story line in The Japson Club and the Wolf Legacy. CJ will read a chapter for you! Check out CJ Butler’s books, The Japson Club, and the Wolff Legacy. I’m certainly going to. And come join me again next week, and the week after… I have some stories by Sjef Frenken, and another, longer story by John Moore which I know you are going to enjoy! Cheers!
