Cover of Keith Chater: Tonight, It’S My Turn (ePUB)
When a banker and a semi-retired impresario come together to plan an evening of light entertainment, the road to the actual performance is not necessarily without its bumps and byways. It doesnt help that the banker falls into something like lust with the impresarios wife and the impresario’s reach sometimes tends to exceed his grasp. Nothing goes according to plan: men and women are seduced though only verbally, although a pregnancy does also occur; songs are slaughtered and lines take forever to be learned. A corpse adamantly refuses to remain dead. Although the performance has unavoidably to be postponed, it is in the details of how our heroes finally succeed that both the fun and the story reside. Readers will learn for themselves whether it all comes out right on the night. Among the characters you will meet are a superannuated actress looking for a second or, perhaps more accurately, a third spring, a prompter with the full-blast voice of a foghorn and the soul of Simon Legree, a Ph.D student whose dental attractiveness lures a leviathan towards the rocks, and an often pie-eyed pianist with an unfortunate weakness for the ladies. ‘Tonight, It’s My Turn’ is written as farce, but it is also the story of how a friendship develops between two men who, both on the surface and also in their very essence, have so little in common that the outcome is as unexpected as it is affectionate. This is a book to be enjoyed, read with laughter, and not reported to any of those worthy societies that are concerned with the prevention of cruelty to animals.

About the author

Keith Chater came to Canada from England as a teenager to attend Victoria College in the University of Toronto. He has become an avid Canadian, but still manages to maintain a peculiarly British sense of humour. Having earned a Ph.D in Modern History from Queen’s University, he lectured for a time at the University of the West Indies, after which our erstwhile doctor retuned home and entered the banking profession .But, being a good Presbyterian, he disapproved of lending money for the purchase of fur coats and other frivolities, and moved on to the design and teaching of courses in his newly adopted profession. Early retirement having been thrust upon him, our author has settled down to become what he always wanted to be — a writer of comic fiction. With the support of his long-time writing group, ‘Tonight, It’s My Turn’ is his fourth novel. Come to think of it, if you don’t like the ending, it was Bev and Tim who persuaded him to change it. His second novel, ‘Henry In Pieces, ’ was also published by Xlibris. Two other manuscripts, one centering on family ties and the other on what happens as the ties of fellowship begin to unravel in a church’s congregation, currently languish in literary limbo. He needs to be braver about publishing them. A murder mystery set at an all-inclusive tropical hotel is currently emerging from the author’s rather fevered brain and he is quite willing to endure a visit to an appropriate setting for the purposes of research. Accuracy is crucial, after all.
