<p>Welcome to Eldorado, a small mountain town in the Kootenays, chock-a-block with aging hippies, eccentrics, loggers, and protestors. When Roy Breen moves to Eldorado after over a decade of working as a journalist in Vancouver, he is impressed by the soaring glacial vistas and the friendliness of the townsfolk, as well as the quality of the coffee they pour. Unfortunately the threat of cutbacks is looming over the local hospital and Roy must find a way to balance his journalistic integrity with the need to join his new neighbours in fighting to keep the hospital open.</p><p>In the vein of Stephen Leacock’s <i>Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town</i>, poet Sean Arthur Joyce’s debut novel <i>Mountain Blues</i> is a tale of warmth and joviality.</p><p><br>Praise for <i>Mountain Blues</i><br><br>"Joyce cannot hide the love he has for his characters. He loves not just their strengths but their flaws, their best intentions, their sweet humanity."<br>~ Brian d'Eon, <i>Lunatic Writer Blog</i></p>
