A Cowboy Christmas with Author Tom Van Dyke

“A GREAT RIDE!” — Bob Bose Bell, TrueWest Magazine

Join Western Spirit for a Christmas Holiday Premier Performance of the audiobook A Cowboy Christmas An American Tale by Academy Award nominee and best-selling author Tom Van Dyke. The book, a best-seller, took Tom 16 years to write and reads like a painting, gorged with color and adventure on the Western frontier. 

“I’m a narrative painter, so as I read this book, the words drew pictures in my mind. These images are vivid and the story feels real.” — Howard Terpning, Western painter, Cowboy Artists Of America (CAA).

Meet Tom and the creative team who produced the audiobook: Sound designer and 4-time Emmy winner Sam Esparza, actor and narrator Johnathan Mincks (who appeared in Little House on the Prairie, Gunsmoke, and Tombstone) and original musical score creator Moontee Sinquah (Native American flute and drum World champion; and 2-time participant in the World Olympics).

“Hold on tight. It’s a fast ride. This magical tale fits like a vintage Stetson and good pair of boots.” — Marshall Trimble, Official Arizona State Historian.
