Episode #195 – THINGS ARE NEVER AS THEY SEEM
Author JOHN BRADSHAW returns with his second Western
Fiction title ELMER KELTON’S THE BLESSING. Hewey Calloway, Elmer Kelton’s favorite footloose cowboy, has always been known to have a generous nature readily giving to those in need. In this sequel to “The Smiling Country,” a beneficiary to one of Hewey’s past generosities pays him back, and with interest. Sounds like this is a simple story but there is tension, treachery, and a shot fired…things are never as they seem! Bradshaw shares how he came to inherit Elmer Kelton’s
characters, how his real-life experiences inform his writing, and
the back stories to his new characters. Saddle up!
