The fictional village of The Landing is home to a lovable cast of wonderfully flawed characters. Without overmoralization, double entendre or revisionism - and with only passing regard for historical accuracy - these stories take inspiration from the people, places, history, one-liners and throwaway remarks overheard in casual settings in rural Cape Breton. Applying his own brand of pathos and humour, Mike Hunter envisions a peaceful place that fosters funny stories without being disrespectful. A native of Riverview, NB, MIKE R HUNTER has lived all over Canada, and resided in Cape Breton since 1984. A freelance editor and writer living in West Bay, Mike is working on more short fiction and a novel. He is former Editor-in-Chief at Cape Breton University Press (retired), but don't let that fool you.
