| Publications | As Buck Would Have It - a novel by Jocelyn Hastie, now available on Amazon. Based on a true story, this cautionary tale of mature romance is set in a virtual world, during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is the story of a cowboy and the women who loved him, told from the perspectives of each of the characters. Buck is a true romantic, devoted to his wife and family and wounded by his fatherês decision to leave when Buck was a teenager. Buck was a rodeo cowboy for many years and has the manners we see in old Westerns. He calms the most skittish of horses and knows how to use that same charm and sensitivity with people. His wife, Michelle, leaves after thirty years of marriage. Linda has a history with Buck from his early rodeo days. Jocelyn is a successful businesswoman, hoping to rekindle her deep love for horses following cancer treatment. Michelle, Linda and Jocelyn each release their fantasies of riding off into the sunset with the cowboy. In the end, they unbridle their own brilliance, rather than staying entwined in Buckês vision of happiness. |
