About this ebook

Only in Manitou is a fun-filled tale of the antics of an oddball but endearing cast of characters living and working in a small Colorado town where everybody knows everybody’s business. Atmospheric and humorous in tone it depicts the story of how these comedic personalities unite to solve a mystery and perhaps save a little boy’s life.
As the story unfolds these remarkable characters discover their present day dilemma is influenced and shaped by the past. Throwing it all out there they will use magic, thievery, lust, deception, innocence, greed and friendships to influence the weird happenings in Manitou.
Meet a wild-west conspirator who knows that there’s more that meets the eye, a charming southern-bell beautician who gives more than a simple haircut, a hilarious transsexual who is unwittingly the center of attention, a Reverend who is never at a loss for words, a local antiques dealer who deals in more than the just antiquities and the town’s City Councilwoman who is ecologically minded.
A narration rich in an assortment of personalities and conversations it leaves you wanting to pack your overnight case and head to Manitou in hopes of meeting these flawed but loveable folks.

Author

Tamarin Rand

The Author has lived in Manitou Springs and regularly attended the Coffin Races for almost a decade. Originally from Manhattan she is no stranger to the diversity of people and places and yet not a day passes by while living and working in Manitou that she doesn’t encounter a strange situational anomaly demonstrating the weirdness of Manitou life. She remains a outsider by Manitou standards by constantly witnessing Manitou’s weird happenings and thinking to herself “Now, that’s just plain weird! I should know better, after all it’s Manitou!” Since this writing two new characters have made their presence know in Manitou. Tricman can be seen in the late afternoon, struggling to ride his tiny child-sized tricycle up and down Manitou Avenue with an apparent invisible mission while in Soda Spring Park a gray bearded “Guru” clad in orange robes, counsels a growing number of Lattest gathering on Saturdays in the shade of the Pavilion to listen to his wisdom.
