AND GOD CREATED MANYBERRIES, is fictional political satire, written in the form of tongue-in-cheek banter in a small-town prairie saloon. The result is a refreshing antidote to political correctness, sloppy thinking and lazy journalism.
Synopsis: The Ranchmens saloon in the Alberta hamlet of Manyberries, is home to some of the shrewdest political discussion in Canada. On the surface, a bunch of old-timers are sitting around drinking beer and complaining about taxes and the government. But first impressions are deceptive this is not mere tavern talk. Listen more closely and you will find scalpel-sharp dissections of double-talk, political correctness, hypocrisy and lazy thinking. Nobody is spared. And beyond the political parables, there is a unique menagerie of genuinely memorable characters. They will drive you half-mad with their double standards and crazy schemes, but they are irresistible in their humanity. By the end of the book you'll feel you know them better than your own family!
